knitting

We had a lot of rain today,
so on to the knitting
instead of working in the garden.
The plants though were very happy with a good soak
(they were gladly dripping)

There was a pattern of a shawl
from our favourite yarn shop that I wanted to try
(the Drops yarn was in my stash)

It ís a kind of "Baktus" pattern
(increasing at one side every four rows)
One side is strait and the other side has a lacey bit
of twelve repeating rows.

Pffft ...
it takes a long time to get accustomed to these twelve rows !!!

But for some easy knitting

there is ofcourse my second sock!

  3. I enjoy seeing your knitting, which is an 'addiction' i have said "no" to so far... I leave it to my daughter to cover that creative front. The yarns are so beautiful...
