I finally have a FO to show off! Stitch count is all over the place but have never worked with a fluffy yarn before so bound to be mistakes lol
2 WIPs are a hat which is the pink and grey, and a doorstop for my mum’s Christmas present. FO is a neck warmer for me, the yarn was just so gorgeous that I had to!
A lady was selling a job lot of used and unused balls of DK and chunky very cheaply so couldn’t say no
Also if you haven’t already seen it, check out this ball of King Cole shine, I can’t wait to do something with it - probably a head band and if I like it I’ll get enough to make some mittens to go with it.
So that’s all from me at the moment, have been a bit poorly and now have a friend down visiting so hence why I’ve been a bit quiet. Hope everyone else is well
Sorry to hear you’ve been poorly, sending you ‘get better soon’ wishes.
Love the doorstop, what will you use to weight it? I have lots of ‘Shine’ in my stash in Glacier and Volcano, love yours, such gorgeous colours. I made (an altered) Cancun Boxy Lace Top (rav pattern) with Glacier last year, it’s still looking good after much use and washing.
Who’s banned you from yarn buying ( you must surely be joking!!) If this photo is all of your stash then it seems quite modest in all honesty.
The room size kind of limits how much I can buy, my craft room is only 7’9" x 8’9"! Thanks for get well wishes, just a flare up of a long term condition so annoying more than anything
Doorstop will have ceramic baking beads in it I think, nice and cheap and easy.
Hope you’re feeling better soon. You’re certainly knitting up a storm! The doorstop is going to look wonderful as are the hat and neck warmer. Love the colors and also the Shine yarn. That’ll be fun to work with.
Ceramic Beads would never have thought of using these but what a great idea ( here was i thinking along the lines of half a brick or large pebbles ) It’ll be a fab for your mum.
Forgot to ask earlier, are those your new circulars you’re using for the hat?
