February 2017

I watched Yarnhoarder's podcast at the beginning of the month
and she has a KAL going on that I would quite like to participate in, which is a shawl KAL, I only have one shawl on the go at the moment (Find your Fade) but I plan on entering that into her KAL. The other KAL I am going to enter is the Find your Fade KAL which until today I did not realize ran until the end of March, so I am very pleased to have learnt that. 
I may even enter in the box of sox's KAL that Yarngasm hosts, but do I really want to be committed to knitting 12 pairs of socks in a year? Maybe it will happen, I will keep you posted. 

I have uploaded my very first podcast episode which you can find here: https://youtu.be/H4CZN_dZ9M8
And the second one here: https://youtu.be/5K5a5eOSlTk

Also this month we have chosen the bridesmaids dresses for Danielle's wedding, that was a slight ordeal, but we did it, I am fairly pleased with the dress that came out of the decision, and you never know once it gets here and I see it on in the right size I will probably be even happier with it. Thus far I have lost 8 lbs so I am hoping to see if by the time it comes I will have lost quite a bit more than that. Who knows, but I would be very happy if 40 lbs had just walked away (Doctor Who joke in there). 

My knitting this month has been rather prolific, on new cast on's, but not quite so much with the languishing WIPS. I did complete a couple of rows on the Hue Shift. Now that Find Your Fade is off the needles I am hoping to get to business on the languishing pile. This pile will shrink. Also lets hope the knitting mojo comes back, as I have made no progress in that department.














FO's:

1. Find Your Fade Shawl
2. Blue, White, Pink Stripe - Be Loving Hat By: Melissa Simpson

5. Blue, White, Pink Edition 2
6. Purple, Lime Green
7. Watermelon the second
8. DinoTeal Socks

WIPS:

1. Merrow Mitts - Sweet Georgia Hummingbird - I think I am going to frog this one, as the pattern is doing too much to the yarn, and you lose the beauty of the yarn. 
2. Vortex Socks

Sadly no books have been read, nor any colouring book pages completed. What a sad state of affairs. But then again these are my hobbies and putting too much pressure on myself regarding my hobbies seems rather pointless. 

Happy February all!
