I have 3 projects on the go at the moment, a shrug in Rowan Damask, I bought the wool from a charity shop 2 years ago, I've knitted the back & started one side. I can only knit this when my eyes decide to focus properly & the light levels are high as there is a lot of counting involved. For taking out & about I have some dishcloths I'm knitting as these are small & portable & for when I sat at home I'm knitting a bathmat out of old tea shirts.

oh hester i would love to see that, anything that doesnt involve buying wool is a definite look into for me. plus can i be really cheeky hester and ask if you could take a look at the problem i am having trying to add a sleeve to a waistcoat that i have made for my mum, thanks

in Noro Silk Garden sock, just cast on second (but thumb is sore so might not knit much more!).

I'm really in awe of you lot that can knit socks. They are brilliant!

I've just finished lining my Knitting Bag. Loath to post this after the beautiful bag the other day, but her goes..

Cuddles that's lovely, I love that you've used knitting needles as part of the bag, what a brilliant idea! Great choice of colours too. Is it moss stitch?

Orkney, lovely socks (as usual!) loving the cables. Don't you wish you could afford to knit with Noro all the time? I do, it's beautiful stuff.

I love that bag, and the socks are great, if i could use dpn's i would love to make them, luckily i found a 2 needle sock pattern a few years back (hoping i can find it)

this afternoon i will make a start on something or another, im not sure what yet because i have no WIP's

Think it's called Blackberry Stitch?
Involves P3tog which is not easy if you're a tight knitter like me!

Oh, and I made the needles out of dowel and a couple of beads. Very MSE as I had them in the house :money:

Re the Noro, I do like it, but tbh I also love Regia, Opal etc for socks too. I have seen some peoples Noro Stash....probably worth more than my house lol!!!!!

Mmm, maybe I'll give it a go, I'm quite a loose knitter and it does look lovely.

Very frugal - I'm impressed!

I went to the CBS very early on Saturday and there was a lady selling off her stash. Most of it wasn't to my taste BUT I did get 9 balls of Regia, 3 balls of Katia and a ball of Online for *squeaks with excitement* £6 !!!
