Charleston

Just to prove that I am actually working on Charleston here she is in all her glory! I have to wind the remaining skeins now - boring job!

Back to reality

So I am back! What a fabulous holiday we had. The weather was as wonderful as you would expect from Greece in July. Really hot but with that sea breeze that stops it becoming too humid.

Here's the view from our balcony







And the beach:






I also managed to get some projects finished while I was there (well one actually finished).



Forest Canopy Shawl in Posh Yarn Emily

Quick to knit and in the Stormy Sea colour way will be great for the winter as a scarf. I did cause a bit of a kerfuffle around the pool though when I got my needles out. It seems people are intrigued by someone under the age of sixty knitting! I got to educate a few people on the "hipness" of knitting!

Also started and finished one of these Embossed Leaves socks in Vixen Lucia.

Problem was that the first sock took alot more yarn than 50g. Maybe my gauge was completly off. I finished the first sock in any case just to see the pattern emerge.

Next up I am finally going to finish Sadie and the Charleston. But not until after I've been to the shops. Procrastinate? Moi?!
