Knitting, as promised

As I said in my last post, here is some knitting. Some FO's and a WIP!

Spinningfishwife sent me a link to a website with a pattern for a sock bookmark, so knowing my love for sox and my continued search for what to do with the odd bits of sock yarn, I just had to knit one!

I knitted the tiny sox and then crochet a chain to join them together.(yes the dreaded "C" word).

Here they are insitu in my current book "A breath of snow and ashes" by Diana Gabaldon






I have just finished knitting a scarf in Rowan Tapestry yarn, shade 171 rainbow. I really like the colours in this yarn, and it works really well (I think) with this short row pattern from "Scarves - a knitter's dozen".




However I did find that there was a problem with the yarn, it was really easy to tangle and get "stuck" together and had a tendency to do this when I was knitting!!! Has anyone else found this a problem?


This is my current WIP, scarf number 4 in my xmas knitting! It is being knitted in Lana Grossa Meilenweit 100 Multieffekt sock yarn. Yes I did say sock yarn!!!! I picked up a pattern for scarves knitted with Opal sock yarn when I was in Kelso a few weeks ago. There are 3 patterns, one done in rib, a simple wave lace pattern (looks like feather and fan!) and a frilly lace pattern (that's the one I'm doing). I'm not too sure about the colours, but it looks better in a scarf than it did in sox! I had started sox with it, but didn't like it so frogged it.

OK I'd better get going as I'm meeting Spinningfishwife for a BBQ in the next 30 mins or so and I still have to buy the burgers!
