My Mum and Dad bought me a new Laptop!! It's my first wholly owned PC! I'm very excited about everything I'm going to be able to do with it. One of those things is update this blog more often!
I have started knitting Geno from Rowan 43. I have finished the back and started the first sleeve. The fronts have a lace pattern and I'm looking forward to tackling them. I'm using Rowan 4 ply cotton which should be lovely and cool to wear during the warmer weather.
I keep being distracted from Geno however by Ysolda's toy patterns! I've made two Elijah elephants which went to new babies but I made the polar bear for myself. I've named him Iorek Byrnison after the polar bear in the Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' novels. My little Iorek Byrnison however is not as fierce as an armoured bear from Svalbard! Teddy loves her new friend.
Have you seen the new online magazine Twist Collective? It is such a great idea and the patterns are wonderful. There are patterns by a few of my favourite designers; Ysolda, Anne Hanson and Kate Gilbert. I've so far bought Ysolda's Little Birds cardigan and hope to knit this in time for wearing at Christmas.
