A whole week passed without a stitch being knitted.
Today was the day to remedy that.
I selected these two stash yarns - cream Bendigo woollen mills luxury and this very old Patons yarn in a deep burgundy colour to make the Sanquhar Socks from 'Knitting socks from around the world'.
These are knit from the cuff, so far I have completed the band. The coming Easter break, which is promising to be considerably cooler, should see good progress on these. I am eager to see this pattern grow in the fabric.
I recently started reading 'The Necessary Aptitude - A Memoir' by Pam Ayres. The title refers to the reason for being dismissed from her first job - as in 'lacks the necessary aptitude'. Guess her superiors didn't appreciate her humour?
While the book includes a lot of detail it is written in her easy to read style and is quite entertaining.
Joining all the talented participants who yarn along.
Hope there's some time to create in your week.

They are going to be lovely, but the pattern looks quite complicated!
I haven't had much time to crochet this week. Last nite started bunny parts as a friend here saw my blog and immediately sent me a message saying she wanted a bunny because it was so fricking cute! Ha! Don't know if I will be able to get it done in time for when we get together Saturday as a friend will be visiting from out of country and arrives tomorrow. So great how you are able to knit such pretty patterns. That is way beyond my skill level. Best wishes, Tammy
Oh, my - those look like complicated socks!
These should be lovely socks. I just love burgundy. As you're reading Pam's book, do you read it with her accent? LOL! Every time I hear her name, I can always hear that accent!
these are going to be gorgeous socks.
After your recent monumental efforts Im not surprised you needed a breather.
