Day 20: and the list goes on.....

UFO Number 4: Its a Wrap

I don't know what came over me when I bought this mohair yarn. It is soft and I liked the colours and of course I had no idea what to make with it. So I just started knitting a 4 row pattern. And this is it so far. It's knitted in the shape of a rectangle.

A friend today had on a wrap that was made from a simple rectangle of material and I thought that would be perfect for this knitted piece. Only a few more rows to knit before I can sew it up and it is a wrap!

Day 18: Project Number 2

About 6 months ago I had to travel to the city for an appointment and was taking the trusty public transport option. Having to leave home while it was still dark, I though I would snooze on the train and didn't bother taking anything to read.
After the appointment I made my way to towards Central Station and realised I had nothing to read or keep me busy during the 2 hour + train trip home. Next thing I know I was browsing in a beautiful yarn shop and a few too many $$ later had a new project to keep me busy for more than the train trip!
So here it is. It was the orange that got me. It is a lovely box pattern, but on 3.25mm needles it is taking me quite a while. The bamboo is lovely and soft too. I still need to do some research on bamboo yarn - I have been told that bamboo is not a good sustainable yarn due to the high amount of processing needed to get it to this stage!
There is still quite a few balls of yarn left to knit!

Could the Three Sisters be next?

It all started with an email to our Katoomba weekly knitting group about this "craft bus". It was a great talking point at the next knitting day with the sky being the limit with possible future knitting projects!

So when I walked down Katoomba Street the other day, I was thrilled to see that the knitting / crocheting craze had hit the Blue Mountains!

I don't know what fabulous group are involved with stitching up these blue mountains "pole cosies" but if you want to find out more I have found these sites to give you a taste for more.
