I very rarely buy magazines, maybe once or twice a year ... today was
one of those times ... and this time it was a knitting one ~ KNIT TODAY February issue ~ and I am actually going to make one of the projects they have in it! A lovely chunky jumper ...
So I popped into town this afternoon and picked some lovely chunky wool
in a soft rusty red colour and some size 15mm needles (thats VERY THICK
needles for all you non-knitters out there .... size 10mm is the biggest
I have used before, and I thought they were big!) It should grow
quickly though being on such large needles!
There was a free gift with the magazine too ... as set of double pointed
needles, for knitting socks ... now I have fancied making some socks
since watching a lady knitting some on a train journey once, so now I
have no excuse and I also bought a ball of lovely wool that I will
either use for some socks or include in my Sunday Sampler blanket.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend and have some fun projects to look forward to.
looking through my phone this week ...

ReplyDeleteOoh looks lovely! My mum has knit today on subscription so I'll have a real look at the pattern when I get a mo. The new wool looks lovely and maybe you'll have enough wool left over after finishing the socks to do a Sunday Sampler square as it doesn't take much does it?
