What do you like to pack for a holiday? Quite a bit of my holiday preparation includes yarn. Even a weekend away has some serious implications packing-wise. This week I have been dwelling the projects which will give me some rest and relaxation.
I am being a bit naughty and taking some ‘work’, a few cheeky Christmas commissions. I know, can you bear to think about it, but that is the world of the magazine designer. Then I have a ‘Work in Progress’ which has been my project basket far too long. It is a stash busting blanket. The colour combination was inspired by the front cover of Home and Antiques Magazine. When I have finished it I will reveal the final blanket. I am not totally sure of the colour combinations but there you go.
Finally I went and bought some yarn today – I know – ‘Heavens to Betsy’. I was telling a friend that I felt a bit frayed round the edges and wanted a complete de-stress. She said – ‘Go back to knitting!’
So I am. Debbie Bliss would be thrilled. She asked me recently, ‘Don’t you knit any more?!’ If I am honest – hardly at all. So there you go I have a knitting project needing to be cast on. It is a pattern from the Summer 2009 issue of Interweave Knits. I am revisiting a pattern which I made a few years ago and I am really looking forward to it. When I do eventually go on holiday I will share with you my progress.
