I have completed lots of projects, many of which I have sadly neglected to blog about and the last couple of months were taken up completely by sock knitting to fulfill Christmas orders. Unfortunately I didn't get them all done on time as Father in Laws were completed at 8.30pm on Christmas day and Hubby finally got his first ever pair of hand knit socks yesterday afternoon.
In order to start 2011 with some degree of optimism I have mulled for some time over a BIG project, and inspired by my dear friend Kelly and her lovely Tech Square Afghan, I have settled on The Great American Aran Afghan as my challenge. The pattern book arrived a few days before Christmas and I have perused blogs, Ravelry and Google images ever since.
Today I ordered yarn, lots of yarn.......and settled on a completely different set of colours to what I had planned or even imagined, the lure of a lambswool/silk blend was too much to resist and I look forward to a large delivery of yarn sometime next week. I may have to artfully arrange my choice and just post a photograph when it arrives. In the meantime I leave you with one of my favourite pictures of the completed afghan and my best wishes to you all for the coming New Year.
May all your tinks be little ones.........
