Look! Look here! Look what I done!
My first thing knit on dpns! I am so excited - can you tell?! I am doing a course through K1 Yarns where I, along with 3 others, am being shown how to knit a small bowl which will eventually be felted. We met at Northstar on Weds eve for a couple of hours, drank max strength coffee and ate cake - I had the most gorgeous chocolate tart EVER! Oh, and we did a little knitting and talked about art and craft and how the two should complement each other etc....I have done one of their courses before and the great thing about them is that not only are you learning something new but you meet some really lovely people. Fired with enthusiasm I raced through my bowl and knit a second.....
...and I have a third on the needles! Not bad - 3 bowls out of one ball of Noro Kureyon! I feel like I have made a breakthrough with the mental barrier I had about knitting in the round - I really didn't think that I would be able to do it! Oh yes, those Monkeys are within my grasp now!
I spent some of the time over the weekend finishing off a few things so that I can start with a clean slate on Thursday which will be my first full day of freedom (job has finished!)
I FINALLY finished this scarf I have been knitting (second time lucky!) out of Noro Blossom Shade 15..
I really love the colours and texture of this and I am looking forward to wearing it this winter. I also finished of a few Scotties and my very own Knitting bag but I haven't had the chance to take any pics so until next time........
gosh - you are really progressing fast with the knitting! your productivity takes my breath away!! x

You can't really tell from the photos but the bowls are really quite wee!

Suzanne, they're gorgeous. Well done you. I'm awaiting a book called One Skein, which has a pattern for similar little bowls, which you then felt. My prime reason for getting the book! (see Domesicali and Dragonfly's blogs)Are the dpns easy to use? Think I need to find a knitting group... Another lovely scarf, too. Hope you're not wishing away summer!
