What Kind Of Fool Am I?

It's October (and boy, it does feel like autumn). Not only is it getting darker, earlier but my magnolia is starting to shed its leaves. I can always tell when autumn really arrives... I have to spend weekends raking!

It's also the start of the elfin(or whatever sweater you want to do) knit-along, hosted by Lis. I have decided to start a little later (8th Oct) , since I have recently been affliected with a very bad case of startitis. While knitters like Kristine, Ann, Becky have been finishing things off, I have been casting things on. Surrounded UFO's, I've decided to start my knit-along project only after 2 things have been completed. (There, I've said it publicly, so I can't go back on my words.)

So once Fleur, (only the sleeves to go, before I start the finishing)



A tribute to the prettyposies girl

and something else is done, I'll start my swatching for daisy.... and socks don't count.


Gullwing


This is Lang Jawoll. It's a lovely cotton wool blend in this vivid blue. I got it from the UK stockist, May at YarnWorld. May is also a fellow Rowanette, who's also recently started an internet Yarn shop, stocking Rowan, Debbie Bliss, Noro and Lang.

Famous last words... I will finish 'n' things before starting 'x'. If you think I'm nuts, please tell me so, I would rather hear it from a friend than find out on my own in a week's time ;-). Self-realisation is over-rated.

I am doing socks on 2 circs because somehow I managed to lose 40% of my 2mm needles. I *suspect* it was been *tidied* (a nice way of saying, taken to the Townmead dump accidentally, of course) away by someone (with a hankering for an x-large, x-long 4 ply sweater.)

Polly, how come your doing socks on 2 circs? I thought you were a dpn kind of gal? The Lang looks lovely from here, is the screen colour true to the real thing? I'd love to start some socks (all that Lang in 'stock') but what with no commuting time and having signed up with Lis to knit Merlanna I'd better not....
