Showing posts with the label stitch 'n bitch

*Blush*

I just realised I hadn't posted the pictures of the lovely socks Jose knitted for me for Sock Wars. While searching for them, I realised that big S has them on his computer. Mmm... Whenever he is available, I'll ask him to transfer them to mine, so that I can post them. I'm washing them tonight (hand wash... yeah, careful...) and will wear them tomorrow to the Stitch 'n' Bitch Day!!! Yeah!!!!

A few more days to go...

... until the Stitch 'n' Bitch Day in Rotterdam! I can't wait, getting more and more excited with every post on the forums, groups and blogs I read. I've got a ticket for Yvon's workshop on sideways knitting (oops, better get some more needles first), and am planning to just hover round and soak in the atmosphere, help out here and there and just enjoy chatting and knitting. I got a ride to Rotterdam, which is great, because however cosy travelling by train is, with my back in its current state, I was not looking forward to hard benches. Car journeys are bad enough as it is... Yes, this is coming from a healthy 33-year-old, although I feel like a 80-year-old granny at times... I'm having physio twice a week, when the muscles in my back get the knuckle treatment (ouch), and it seems to be working, because I'm getting a bit more 'flexible', although sitting down for long stretches is still a big problem. I'm also forcing myself to do more walking, ...

How being fickle can make you happy!

I looked at my Traveler's stocking last night and couldn't do it. I couldn't frog it... So, I knitted on and finished it! And... I'm really happy with it! Strange how a (bad) night's sleep and another fresh look at it can change your mind... I have a finished sock to show the SnB group tonight (yeah!!!) and, as I promised myself, I did start a new sock, I'm going to try the Wolhalla pattern with small heel this time. In a nice pastelly colour combo from ONline. What I did like about the TS was the different toe. Not sure if I'm going to use it often, but it saves me Kitchener stitching it all together. Not that I mind, but the less grafting, the better! All my yarn and WIPs have been stuffed in my new knitting bag *proud*, so I'm ready to go... Cafe Wolters, here I come!!!
