Still knitting

Yes,I am still around and still knitting but "things" keep getting in the way. "Things" like, work, taking delivery of a camper van, gardening, and my son coming home with 5 months of washing. I have spent today doing washload after washload and in between , digging enough of the vegetable patch to plant some Jeruselum Artichokes. Knitting wise, I have a pair of socks just waiting for one toe to be closed and ends sewn in, the Mystic light shawl with one and a half clues to do, a modular jumper in beginning stages, a Rowan t shirt and another pair of socks. I also started the Mystery lace shawl but it seems there are problems there with selfish people so that is on hold at the moment.

Last week we went down to the south coast in our new (to us ) camper van, and I walked to Hurst castle from Keyhaven. We had tea and sandwiches in the van which was lovely because it was a really windy day. Tomorrow we are going to Wales and will be sleeping overnight in it. This is so that we can go to the Wonderwool Wales Show.

It will then be back to work Sunday untill Thursday when I fly to the Channel Islands for a cricket tour. - At least my life is never dull!!!

Mystic Light 2

Not a very good photo but I have finished Clue 2 of Mystic Light. This is a lovely pattern but I am still not sure about my choice of wool. It knits up quite quickly and so far I have not had to "Tink or Frog". The clue only came out Wednesday and I finished it last night. Today the new clue for Secret of Bad Nauheim came out so this afternoon I will be working on that before my night shift.

This is another project I have just started and it is very easy knitting for the car trips. It is going to be a modular sweater and the design is taken from "Second Thoughts" by Pat Ashforth and Steve Plummer. (One day I will be able to do links to these mentions! ) The idea is that you knit 4 of these squares and then do some finishing bits. I will keep you updated on my progress and it will all become clear! I am using two large cones of natural coloured wool that I bought in a charity shop.

Not sure how much knitting will be accomplished next week as I am working 6 shifts, we are collecting our camper van, and as the weather is getting better I need to start work on my greenhouses and vegetable garden. Never mind, at least I never have time to get bored!
