I have been remiss about blogging again. I haven’t had much time for fibre crafts this past month, and what time I have had has mostly been spent knitting plain dark navy anklets for my mother, which wouldn’t make for very interesting pictures.
I did start the Icarus shawl I’ve been longing to knit, but the begininning of it isn’t very photogenic either. For anyone who is curious, I am using dark teal 2/14 cashmere yarn from ColourmartUK. The Icarus is on hold for a while (sob) because as well as my mother’s anklets I have also started on holiday gifts.
However, I do have a picture of a knitting project … a rather silly little hat, 3″ tall including the bobble, 1.75″ without it. It’s a scan, not a photo, so the bobble is rather squashed.
A UK smoothie company has a charity project each winter. It is donating money for every bottle with a little hat on it which is sold in some supermarkets in the month leading up to Christmas, and it needs knitters to provide them. I mentioned it at my guild, so now some of us are knitting them when we have a few spare minutes. One member has even got her work colleagues making them in their lunch breaks. I’ve only made the one in the picture so far, but I’m aiming for at least a dozen. They are quick to make, and it’s such a great cause.
