Down the rabbit hole I go

 I have gone down the rabbit hole now.  There is no rescuing me, either.  I have started my first ever fair isle project.  I don't know why I have never done it before, I have, after all, done intarsia. At the time I didn't know what I was letting myself in for, I just liked the look of the book I had bought.  It was a Kaffe Fassett book, and I had never heard of him before. It was a coat that I knitted. 

So, for my first fair isle project I am doing a scarf. I am picking my own colours from my stash.  I am hoping I won't have to buy too much yarn for this project, but we will see. I will post pictures as it grows, even if there are mistakes. I own all my mistakes in my knitting, most of the time I am able to fix them, but sometimes it is too late when I see them, so I decide to leave them in. My theory is that they add character. Well, that is my story, and I am sticking to it.

 No idea if this will work. It is a test. How to get a picture up on here from my phone. I am seriously dressed for serious gardening. Still got scratched to heck  though.

Trying to keep this up.

 It is actually quite hard to think of a title for posts. I am not a writer, which shows in my boring titles. Never mind, I reckon I am pretty much the only one concerned about that for this blog.

Anyway, I have a new watch. It's an active one. Hoping It will encourage me to be a little more active. We can only hope. I am not too worried sbout thecweight loss, just need to be more active. And not at the gym, either. I don't think this backbof mine would cope with that. If there was one just for women, then maybe I would give it a go, but not with weights. For now I shall get back into walking in the evening. I actually enjoy doing that.

She has decided this is a good place to sun. The shelves are quite narrow, but Lil Mouse has decided this is her spot. She is very lucky they don't fall over when she jumps off them.

 

Long time no post

Oh my goodness, I had actually forgotten that I had this blog. Shows how much notice it got from me, none!! Anyway, I'm not sure anyone is actually reading this, anyway; but I'll try to keep it going for myself. As a way of tracking my knitting progress. I know there are probably easier ways to do it, but hey if this works, then good for me. I can't say my UFO'S have greatly reduced, but I am getting better at staying on one project for longer. I completed a jersey for my husband, and have another on the needles for him. As it is summer here now, I am not working on it as much as I should. But, it will get finished. This is a short post, just to get me back into the swing of things, so to speak.
