Thanks to a lovely day of craft stuff last Sunday with Charlie, and the train journeys to and from the Maths in View<\/a> conference last Monday, the Baby Surprise Jacket (from Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Knitting Workshop<\/a>\"\") is coming along well, and it is seriously sweet. Progress would probably be faster if I didn’t stop and admire it at the end of each row \ud83d\ude42 or if Charlie hadn’t brought along the Fire Mountain Gems <\/a>catalogue for me to drool over. At the conference I finally met Penny<\/a> (lovely to meet you!), and did manage to do a little bit of knitting while each of the speakers were setting up. A very interesting day, thought provoking stuff.<\/p>\n

Just the collar and the rest of the finishing to go. I am doing a 3 stitch Icord around all the edges because I really like the way it looks with garter stitch, and think it gives the whole thing a more finished look.<\/p>\n

In fact I am enjoying this so much I think I might make a me-size one next, possibly out of the Wendy Fusion I bought at Ally Pally. I think it would make a good project for over Christmas, a nice lot of it, but doesn’t require too much brain so I can knit while chatting, and also while playing board games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
