Selfish Knitting

I’ve decided (inspired by a bunch of the lovely TNN ladies) that this year is going to be the year of knitting for me! Enough of the longies and soakers and baby hats. It’s all about lovely, pretty (warm!) things for the mama. So I decided I’d start nice and easy. I had a lovely ball of Bendigo Woolen Mills  Rustic 12ply, in Spice Plum and found a lovely little pattern for a caplet that I *had* to try. It has turned out pretty well ….

Except that it’s a tiny bit on the small side…despite all of my complicated mathematical type jiggering of the pattern… and I’m not *in love* with it. So, sleeves still incomplete… tonight it will be frogged.

I’m planning to knit a wicked but need something quick and in 12ply to do first so I can use this lovely BWM first… so I think an easy, quick top down raglan sweater will be first on my to do list. I’m thinking of making some alterations to the pattern, maybe a ribbed neckline and I like the YO sleeve detail of the caplet … I’ll have a play around and see what I can come up with.

In the meantime everything is going well here. Kids are cute and enjoying summer … Rhiannon is crawling, and becoming more scrumptious by the day…
