New Year Knitting

Since finishing my green cotton top on Boxing Day, I have been knitting a tea cosy for the Kiama Show at the end of January, I did run out of wool with about 10 rows or so to do, I went out in the rain today and got some more wool today to finish it off.

You can see by the photo how close to finishing the second side I got, it is using double yarn. I will finish this in the next few days as I have started the baby set for Kiama Show and I am enjoying knitting it in a 3ply pure Australia wool.

In the meantime I have knitted another cotton top, again in Bendigo 8ply Cotton in the colour "Flax", it is softer to knit than the green cotton top.
Pattern: Jo Sharp Book Knit issue 2.
Bolero Version 1 with short sleeves. (page 9)
Yarn used: Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply Cotton
Colour: Flax
Amount: 350g
Needles: 3.25mm; 4mm; & 3.25 x 80cm Circular for band.
Started: Wednesday 27 December 2006
Finished: Monday 1 January 2007


For Christmas I got the Stitch N Bitch desk Calendar for 2007, I have been looking ahead a few pages and it looks like it is going to be full of good information and tips.
