One step forward - two steps back

Another sample piece for Unwind.


I LOVE the yarn.


As for the pattern, it is easy to remember and navigate, but I swear it's mocking me.


I measure it at 10", knit another two pattern repeats (20 rows), measure again and suddenly it's 9".

Someone please explain that to me.


Oooh! And see the beyond pretty crystal stitch markers I got from Connie? She's carrying them both online and at her new shop.

I don't actually need them for this pattern, but they're just too sparkly not to use.

Yes, I accessorize my knitting.

Spinning wheel

So, I loved my spinning class so much, I've decided I need a wheel.

I don't suppose anyone has a second hand one for sale?

Ethno

Look at me with the serial posting.

I must be trying to make up for lost time.

shopping

I caught the end of a sale today at Fabricland.

I picked up a bunch of new fabric combinations for the dpn holders.

I'm in love with all of them.
