..young and sweet, only seventeee-ee-en". Ear worm - read it on City Knitter this morning, can't stop singing it....
After a week (or more?) of technology problems, we appear to have things almost back to normal. Amazing how tetchy a person can get when you can't get online. Still, the lack of internet has led to more knitting time which means that I can show you my Noro sock - past the heel and definitely on the home run now:
Isn't she colourful? I'm a little glad she's going on my foot (inside my boot!), not sure if I'd could pull off this colourway in a sweater. The knitting is fast and easy though. Great little pattern and the weight of the wool are conspiring to knit up very quickly. I reinforced the heel using some leftovers from this sock project, it's already a boot sock, maybe now something more of a hiking-boot sock but it's soft and warm - they'll be useful in the cold weather.
Also hot off the needles this week is the front (or back) of Ava. This is fun knitting:
I haven't blocked it yet so it's a little curly round the edges. It is asymetrical, seamed to just above the elbows so hopefully should be a useful item when finished.
Any other knitting news? Well, there's always Birch, currently in her twelfth pattern repeat. What was it that Winston Churchill used to say - "K.B.O."? I am, I am...

I like the assymetrical line of Ava, makes it more interesting. Is knitting with ribbon difficult? Does it twist around or do you have to keep it flat?
Posted by: MJ at August 30, 2004 05:50 PMSocks are looking great Anita ! Although I haven't had computer problems (famous last words !) I've recently tried to limit my time online because I was just getting nothing done - not just knitting but washing and ironing and boring things like that too .... come to think of it, being online a lot isn't so bad is it ??
