Look what I done for my Mum

Mum rang me Sunday morning, she has taken up lawn bowls, and she had a knitted fingerless glove another lady made to wear while playing bowls to protect her hands from sunburn, and you guessed it Mum wanted me to work out the pattern and make her some. My mum is very capable of doing this herself, after all she taught me to knit.

I wrote down a few notes, and Sunday afternoon after doing some work around the yard, I sat down and worked out what to knit, and here are the finished things.














This is what Mum brought down and showed me. I think I got pretty close or even exactly the pattern.(see below). That is my Mum in the background beside my thumb.


These are some other things I have been knitting (see previous post), this is a part of my Stash Reduction Kick I am on at the moment. Now I can get back to the baby jumper I was doing, OMG, I had two things on the needles at once, and you know what, when I finished the gloves tonight, I cast on for a pattern square I am doing (but that is a secret).

I had a great day on my SEx trip on Saturday, more to come later.


A few feathers yarn scarfs, they look pretty good.

These scarfs below were in a book I bought at Knitting Camp last year, it is too late and two many wines and a beer in the night to remember the name and as my study is above my son's bedroom I had better not go sliding too much around on my chair, it won't make for a very happy boy, otherwise I would get up and walk to the next room and check out the name of the book. They are knitted sideways with mohair and train track yarn, pretty nice effect. All this stash reduction I am doing at the moment is for the Annual Kiama Knitters Guild Exhibition and Sale in May.


I have joined the "Stashalong" knitalong starting 1 April. That will help me to reduce some stash and not buy anymore yarn for a month minimum up to however many months I can cope with it. I am going to try for 3 months, but I will just start with a month at a time. I have enough yarn to keep my going for years probably, and I just got more on the weekend for a jumper I want to make myself this winter, more on that next post or so.

Boy wine and beer don't really mix well do they, I had better get myself ready for bed. Nite all.
