It has been a while, how are you all? Things have been rather hectic in the KSC household lately but I can assure you there will be a podcast coming soon with lots of exciting things to talk about :)<br />
<br />
This post is to discuss a crazy decision I made the other day, I made the rash decision to make a sock yarn blanket. I always vowed I was never mad enough to make one of these, I mean a blanket on 2.75mm needles?! Something in me has clearly changed...<br />
<br />
The problem came after looking at the lovely blanket KAL thread on the<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/imake/1442613/226-250#248"> iMake board</a> on Ravelry...Martine is currently working on a stunning blanket and it is her own recipe so I downloaded the pattern and cast a square on before I had a chance to think about it again!<br />
<br />
This is my approach to this blanket, like Martine I intend to make this a long term project and use it to eat up all my 4 ply and sock scraps over time. At the moment I am intending on knitting at least 1 square a day, this shouldn't be too much of a challenge as they take me under 30 mins and I am sure I will get quicker :)<br />
<br />
I'll try to keep blogging about it as it progresses to see if I can convince anyone else to join in :D<br />
<br />
Here is where I am today, day 2 and 2 squares in...<br />

<br />
How are things?<br />
<br />
There will be a podcast soon, I promise but not at the moment as I have a cold and no one needs to listen to me sniffling!<br />
<br />
Hope you have all had a lovely festive period, we have and are very much enjoying the break from work. We celebrated Christmas in the south of England with Mr M's family and then again upon our return to the North East, all in all it has been very lovely.<br />
<br />
Part of my Christmas treat was a new camera so I am hoping to get a lot more photographs on to the blog in the New Year. I may try and get to a photo a day but if this is the case I may set up a new blog and link to this one so you do not all get bombarded by photographs of rabbits and degus!<br />
<br />
Today we have had a lazy day but decided we needed some fresh air so went for a walk in the woods by the river...<br />
<br />

<p>As many of you may know we have recently moved house but will be without the internet until the end of August due to the Olympics *grumble grumble*.</p>
<p>In the meantime i will try and keep the blog updated with what is going on, it will all be brief as i have to do it in my lunch hour or sitting in the car outside of our apartment! Oh yeah we have no phone signal either...what did people do before all this technology? </p>
<p>I am partaking in the ravellenic games and am knitting lots of socks so i will post update photos when possible :-) </p>
<p>In the meantime here is a wind farm i visited last week!</p>

<br />
As many of you may be aware the Tour de Fleece has commenced and spinners everywhere are digging out their fibre and fluff and deciding what their goals will be for this tour.<br />
<br />
It is the first year I have taken part and I have not yet discussed it on the podcast as I am trying to keep it a bit low key due to moving house etc...however I have taken part in the past 2 days and I have to say I m enjoying it immensely. I will discuss it in the next podcast and for ease (and solidarity to all podcasters) I joined Team Sasquatch.<br />
<br />
Day 1 was a busy day, knitting group, catching up with friends and packing up the house so I decided the best way to spin was on my drop spindle, I am not sure how much I got spun up but I did get some done which is all that matters plus I got to watch Harry Potter whilst doing so! Here is what I have so far:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr303/Nicha06/20120701_210957.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr303/Nicha06/20120701_210957.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a hand dyed shetland braid which has tones of oranges, yellows, browns and peaches. It is spinning up to look like an almost tweedy/marled yarn and I am really happy with how it is looking.</div>
<br />
<br />
Day 2 has been a little more sedate, except for the car boot sale this morning, so I managed to get my wheel out and work on some of the fleece I still have to spin for my Sheep Heid hat. This is what I had left to spin:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr303/Nicha06/20120630_203302.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr303/Nicha06/20120630_203302.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Clockwise from the top we have oatmeal bluefaced leicester, Black Welsh Mountain, Masham and Moorit Shetland. At the moment I am trying to spin up just enough to make the hat (I am too impatient) and I am keeping the rest to spin and make the blanket at a later date.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I managed to spin up the Masham so now I only have 3 different breeds left to spin before I can cast on the hat :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I spun 22g and plied the singles into a 2ply yarn which had a yardage of around 64m, just enough and the perfect weight I need for the hat. Masham is nice to spin with, it feels nice in the skein and I think will work well with the rest of the yarns I have spun up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here it is:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I am ever the optimist I also hope to get some of this lot spun up too:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is a mix of Polwarth, Polwarth/Seacell and Merino/silk in that colourful bunch and it is calling me but not until I finish the natural fluff!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will put a thread on the Ravelry group for anyone interested in sharing their progress on the tour and I better leave it at that as there is a mischievous looking bunny hopping around my feet.</div>

Everyone loves Owls, and who wouldn't it is a jumper with a yoke of cabled owls.<br />
<br />
I'm quite renowned for my Owls as I have 2 , the both have no eyes, but I love them dearly and here is why...<br />
<br />
I love my Owls (1) because it is warm and snuggly, yes its looking a little bobbly these days but it was my choice to knit it from a loosely plied wool/mohair blend. I can pull it on and feel instantly comforted and cosy, plus I think it is the only jumper I own which has sleeves long enough for my spider like arms.<br />
<br />
I love the shaping of the jumper, it is so pretty and helps give my impish frame a bit of shape.<br />
<br />
I love the way that every time I wear it and enter a wool shop people point and say 'Owls!' and this is great as it gives me the opportunity to talk about this fantastic pattern.<br />
<br />
I love my Owls (2) as I knit it in super chunky at a dense gauge so it keeps me really warm when I go skiing and when I am out on site with work. Yes it can stand up of its own accord and yes I made it in cream so when I wash the darn thing (all the time) it can take up to a week to dry but its my freakishly thick jumper of happiness.<br />
<br />
I love my Owls because they have no eyes. I admire everyone out there who has had the sheer willpower and determination to sew all those eyes on the little blighters, I admit I am not one of you so for that I salute you.<br />
<br />
I love how quick this jumper is to knit and how fabulous it can look in a variety of yarns and colours. I feel I need a grey one, my bank balance doesn't agree quite yet. It hasn't forgiven me over the recent Malabrigo purchases.<br />
<br />
So yes I love my Owls jumpers, I think they are my favourite makes so far in my knitting journey, thank you Kate for designing such a fabulous, wearable and cosy jumper. I am off to apologise to the rest of my knitted wardrobe for the lack of love...well maybe not just yet, I am cosy sat here all wrapped up in owls.<br />

<br />
I've been a bit meh on the old knitting front, not knowing what to knit and a lot of the time not wanting to knit anything I have on the needles. At times I have turned to spinning and this scratched my crafty itch a bit but I don't know, I have been a bit unsettled.<br />
<br />
I know other podcasters have also had a knitting funk so I think it may just be the time of year...we'll see.<br />
<br />
On a more positive note I was pondering whilst driving home this evening. I am not usually a fan of summer knitting, I don't love cotton as much as wool and well looking at the weather lately wool is more fitting for a British summer! I pondered designing a garment a while ago, I bought some yarn and had big prospects for it, yes I thought I will make another little tee and I will stripe the yarn and all will be well with the world.<br />
<br />
Well after knitting two rondeur tees the appeal seems to have worn off so I have reconsidered what this yarn will be when it grows up. The yarn in question is 'Aimee' by Louise Harding, perfect yeah? It is even spelt the same as my name and I always thought if I were to be a yarn I would have a little cashmere in the mix. It is a 90% cotton, 10% cashmere mix and it is an extremely soft yarn, our eyes met across the room and we knew it was meant to be.<br />
<br />
I have sat at my desk tonight with a little jotter and a smudgy pen and scribbled down some ideas. At the moment it looks like an A line summer top, with straps or without (haven't got that far yet), with a cabled rib hem at the top to keep it up and then a gradual A line flare. Predominantly pink but with a grey stripe here and there for good measure.<br />
<br />
The figures are working out at the moment, I have swatched with a number of needles and am settling on a 4.5mm for a nice loose gauge, floaty light for summer when I run through fields of corn with flowers in my hair and sometimes riding a horse....oh hold on that is the Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume advert....ahh<br />
<br />
I will keep you all posted regarding its progress....<br />
<br />
Oh and one final note, why did nobody tell me that the ribbing on Audrey in Unst takes FOREVER? It's pretty though<br />
<br />
Happy knitting everyone xAimshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16958441502798203737noreply@blogger.com2
