Well, it will be knitting pictures (I hope) if I can figure out how to insert images! Wish me luck!

I'm A Knit!

Been relaxing, watching the new series of Primeval (which is pretty good so far, although I've taken an instant dislike to Philip!) - I thought it had been canceled after the last series, so it was a nice surprise to find I was wrong!
While I watched, I knitted - not the red jumper I started last year (which I've only done the front and half a sleeve of - I will get back to that one day), but something else I'd forgotten I'd started.
I knew I had a black lacy jumper I was working on, but I've lost the pattern for that and it's a complicated design. In clearing the box room where I store all my wool, I've discovered several other part done projects - a pink baby jumper, which just needs making up, a white sleeveless top, and the one I've been knitting tonight - I'm assuming it's going to be a jumper, though I have no idea what pattern I was using, but it's stocking stitch and only just started, so I should easily be able to find a pattern to work from. The downside is, I only have the ball of wool I'm using, I haven't found the rest yet! It's fluffy and white, with fluffy blobs of black and grey in it. So far, it looks like I'm trying to knit a slightly lumpy dalmatian. Should be interesting when it's done, assuming I can find the rest of the wool. I don't remember packing it for storage, so in theory it should still be in the box room. Maybe it'll turn up tomorrow!

Utterly Pointless News!

I have decided I'm going to knit myself a new jumper - and it will be red! Not that wishy washy orangey red of British post boxes, but a rich, glowing blood red (it would look great on Ianto).
I was attempting to clear some of the junk out of the box room and found myself staring at all the lovely colours of wool, so I dug out some patterns and eventually picked a fairly simple one with cable panels down the front and sleeves (not sure about the back) bordered by plain stocking stitch. Now I just need to find my needles.
I really need a new red jumper as my other two have gone really saggy (they were knitted with budget wool that turned out to be rather poor quality - usually, I find it's just as good as more expensive yarns, but this stuff wasn't) and the washing machine bit a hole in one =(
My arthritic fingers will probably hate me at first, but they'll get used to it.
Wish me luck =)
