New - sort of - project

Well, when I finished the first clapotis, I had a bunch of yarn leftover. So, I went through a number of possibilities to see what I could make with the yarn.

But, I always came back to the same thing - another clapotis. It's a nice, non-fussy, moderatly adaptable pattern that takes a minimum of thought.

So, after knitting lots of swatches and finally deciding on a colour pattern - I started it.
I originally wanted a simple scarf, and planned on only 4 increase sections, but, after adding on the sixth repeat of the increase rows, and looking over the pattern, I noticed that if I did one more set of the increase section, I'd be following the original pattern exactly - something I didn't do on the first clapotis.

I'm taking a break from it at the moment (since I've got 6 other knitting projects that are all clamouring for my attention) but when I did, I'd just started on the third section (the length repeats).

The picture is what it looked like just after I made the choice to add the final set of increases and the odd striping is the colours (Fushia, Green, Aqua, Royal blue and Pale blue) done in a fibonacci striping pattern.
Hopefully I'll take a better photo of it when it's longer.

Until later.

Trying to post pictures and. . .

Well, I set up a post that needed a picture. Again, I'm having trouble with putting in the picture. Luckily, I saved the post as a draft, so I'll try again tomorrow.

But, in other news, I've been working on the purple wrap, my prayer shawl, an knitted kitty (nore news on that in few days) and a scarf for a dog. Not that a dog needs a scarf, but his owner says he uses her scarf (the one I knitted her and that she'd like to wear) as a toy. I had some eyelash yarn (ugly varigated colours) leftover from the scarf I knitted her (the colours looked nice as an accent), so I'm using up the yarn by knitting it into a scarf for the dog.

The things I do for a friend. *sigh*

Until tomorrow (cross fingers)

Back Home and posting at LAST!

Well, been in Lichfield again - I actually got home on the 29th of December. This time it was mainly for Christmas, but Christmas was sort of a damp squib.
The kids got lots of presents, but for us adults, it was great when the clock hit midnight on that particular day and the children were finally asleep.

Craft-wise, I worked on a prayer shawl and did quite a few squares for the blanket.

But no photos are available yet, since I'm at the tail-end of a miserable cold I got from my god-daughter.
*sigh*

New Year's Eve was wonderfully free of any drama.
I watched some TV and went to bed early. SO good.

I'm off to bed to see if the last of the dreaded lurgy will go.

Night.
