For Just Jussi, I wore the socks she gifted me, and now that she is back in NZ, she couldn't be with us girls from Wollongong SNB for the Knitting Retreat, so I wore the socks she gave me so we would know she was with us in spirit. I was still working on the blanket which I sat up (outside in the cold) with Ailsa until I finished it on Friday night (saturday morning 1am). Photo of socks taken by Tianne.
I ordered two books from Amazon not even two weeks ago and they arrived yesterday, #2son collected them from the Post Office today. The first book is Lace Style, it has so many beautiful lace designs to knit, and the second book is Artic Lace, which has the history of the Artic area, about the people and the knitting, it is going to be a great read along with some wonderful patterns.

Fingers crossed there is enough wool, or failing that, that there is more to be had. It's looking really great!!!
How many balls short Anne?
oh that arctic book looks great!
and thanks Annie - I feel a long way away - and your action was really sweet
I think it is looking great too. I hope that you can find more yarn.
Those books look a real treat.
Do you find you knit faster when you are worried you are short of wool?
Cheers Gillian
I have the Arctic book and I love the history it gives. I've been eyeing the lace book. Is it worth it to own or should I just borrow it from my local library?
