Tunic no two is finished, I have gone ahead and stitched some 4mm ribbon around the neck edge before attempting to wash this garment, the last one stretched after washing and will need to be sorted out. To avoid any problems with washing the ribbon should support the neckline nicely. It is an effect of knitting top down with this particular design, nothing that can not be overcome but to be aware of it is a good thing seeing I am now onto tunic No 3.
We have a new yarn at work and I am loving it, kakadu is stunning, just so nice to knit and as I am working on a design on the needles, I have ripped it out so many times yet the yarn has held it's integrity and has not fluffed or balled up or seperated or done anything it really should have under the duress I have made it suffer. Love, love, love, gonna buy a cone of it for sure.
Beautiful quilt quilted, finally I have finished a quilt that has been worrying me a lot, it is so lovely that I was worried that my quilting would spoil it in some way. I am pleased to say it has worked out fine and the swirly curls has done it justice and it is now completed. I have about 5 quilts to finish off before Christmas and then the frame will be up for sale.
Mamre house again this weekend, doesn't the year go fast, it felt like only the other day, and in that time we have lost dear Brian, Christine's dad. He will be missed, and I am anticipating it being a difficult time for Chris. Let's hope she manages and accepts everyone's support.
