Still struggling.


The picture didn't arrive where I expected it to, and I shall have to consult my IT adviser, Vivienne on that subject! However, this is the first of the threatened WIP's - Jaywalker socks by Grumperina. Very pleased with them; the yarn shows the pattern nicely. I have just cast on another pair of socks using my Knitpicks Harmony wooden sock needles, just to see how they feel. I find them disconcertingly light after using the Knitpicks metal ones, but they have just the right lack-of-slip which will make them perfect for two-colour work, which I do intend to do. They certainly are BEAUTIFULLY pointy. And pretty.


The chest infection, or whatever it is, is still making life less than beautiful, however, these little darlings are blooming bravely outside the front door, reminding me that I should get out more often!
