OK! It as been a random day, i woke up to find my boss had rang me at

4 am to get me to work this morning. Didn’t happen i woke up at 10:15 am got to work to find the guy who works the morning shift couldn’t come in due to a family member passing away.  I managed to help out for a few hours before i had to meet Lisa for our trip to the Leeds Baa Ram Ewe knit night. I purchased way too many items but thought i may as well while i have the money.

I purchased both Ysolda Teague’s books whimsical little knits 1 & 2. Addi lace needles 2.5 mm, Addi Premium 6 mm.  2 x 100g cygnet wool rich aran weight in shade – Pine.  2 x 50g King Cole Merino Blend DK shade- 703 Red. 2 x 25g Jamiesons Shetland spin drift shade- sand. Colinette Jitterbug sock yarn 110g shade – 101. And an extra ball of King Cole baby alpaca DK so i can finish my mittens.

We met Ysolda for our book signing which was cool and also got too talk with her for a little while.

And she also bought with her a lot for her finished pieces to display so we could feel and try them on. They were beautiful, and I’m now casting on the peak island hooded cowl.

Unfortunately didn’t get a photo with Ysolda but The night was great and I also got recognized for my Patterns which was rather awesome i felt rather proud of myself.

Happy Christmas Nautical Cowl

I started a new cowl which i today you about in my last post and today i have finished it. I’m loving it and am thinking of writing out the pattern for Ravelry. I prefer this one to my Hooded cowl.

I used King Cole Magnum Light weight Chunky just 2 100g balls each in a different colour. Mine was cream and red. I used the 2 inch buttons which i used on the hooded cowl.

I love the fact it’s higher up so if it’s cold i can cover up my nose!

Tomorrow I’m meeting up with my knitting group friend Lisa for an awesome night out at Baa Ram Ewe to meet Ysolda Teague and get a signed copy of her new book Whimsical little knits 2. Which also means I’ll be purchasing more wool.

We found out yesterday somebody got the house before us and unfortunately we are now searching again. It’s as though we may have to share a flat or house to make sure we are out for Christmas since there isn’t much in our price range and we don’t have enough time.

We are keeping our chin up.

So i Went to Headingley in Leeds to the Baa Ram Ewes store for the thursday knit night and to purchase some more yarn, yes thats right some more, it was a great night and packed to the nines with people. I managed to purchase some Colinette Point 5 yarn i bought 2 skeins and i’ve already knit it up into a scarf. Also i bought some twilleys freedom spirit 100% wool which i have no idea what to do with know i have it lol!!

I also came across i book i have been wanting for a while called ‘Intertwined’ it’s a hardback book about the art of handspun yarn, modern patterns and creative spinning which i very much like. It makes my creatives juices flow.  You may have seen the lexi boeger website.

Terrible as it may seem i am still hand winding my silk into a ball. I think a ball winder needs to be added to my Christmas  list this year.

Thats Right i have photo’s of my newly started shawl, i knew you wouldn’t forget so here goes

And thats all your getting for the minute lol!!

The pattern is working wonderfully and i spent ages at work today doing it, it’s getting quite big now. I’ve planned to watch A bugs life while doing some more.

I’m Rather annoyed i didn’t get to go to Baa ram ewe‘s knit night tonight as i planned i ended up having to cover at work :( , But next i’m going no matter what.

I’ve also started some socks with my purchased opal sock yarn from baa ram ewe’s and they’re looking rather carzy and eye boggling

Off now for a shower, dinner and some bugs life with knitting

Cu soon peeps
