Busy Non-Knitting Day

Thursdays are not a good day to get on with anything so I've not got a lot done today. The half done square is now finished and the next cast on but that is about it.

(I'm impressed, this is the nearest to the real colours I've got in a photo so far!)












I've found a couple of other colourways I can use up in the Log Cabin as I don't want them in my Lizard Ridge. At this rate I am going to have more f the L.C. done than the L.R.! Sounds about right for me!

Building the foundations of a Log Cabin

I have photos of the beginning of my Log Cabin.

The first one was a bit of an experiment and used up some of the ends of balls I had from my Lizard Ridge.

I liked the way it came out so I decided that I would make more to use up the bits of Kureyon that I have around, they are almost certainly going to be a blanket but, as I change my mind more often that a prostitue takes her knickers off, that is very much subject to change.

The second one, again using up some ends, then moving on to a ball of a colourway that I have 3 of (170 for those who have enquiring minds) and decided to use as I have no intention of having 3 of the same colourway in my L.R., 2 is a push.

What? I didn't say they were good pictures did I? And yes, they are square, honestly! I just haven't blocked them or anything so they look a bit wonky.

This is the square I'm working on now, the rest of the ball of 170 and going on to 164 which I also have 3 of for some reason.

Yes, it's very bright, I just couldn't get my camera to work with me last night. You also get to see my fabulous 4 pairs for £1 plastic needles in this picture. They maybe cheap plastic, and come in some interesting colours (the 5mm I am using are more of a mid blue than the bright blue that they appear to be here,) but they work and if I break them when traveling about I don't have to worry!

Lizard ridge progress.

The Lizard Ridge is on hold, I need to go to London to get some more colour ways so the whole thing isn't sludgy brown.I was hoping to go on Saturday but I don't know if I'll have time before I'm picked up to go to the Disney reunion/ Mark's welcome home party. I hope so or I'm going to be unbearable for the next week.



Still I can put pretty pictures here of the L.R. WIP.








While I'm waiting to get the wool, I'm making a Log Cabin with the odds and ends from the L.R. and balls of Kureyon that I don't want to use in the L.R. that I have lying around... Photos of that to come.
