Nothing to report today! I had a nice evening over at Astrids, I did a bit of continental knitting, its not quite as bad as learning to knit all over again. I really just need to keep practicing until it comes naturally.
I've decided I'm going to frog the scarf, I've only completed a couple of rows anyway but I've had this book on loan from the library for ages and I've decided that it would look nicer if I use a 'ripple stitch' pattern. It won't really slow me down as long as I choose a simple 2 row pattern!
In honour of the purples and because I haven't got any other photos for you today I dragged this little doodle out of my archive, its just a watercolour abstract painting, I've got a whole series of these, but they're really are just doodles to get me playing with colours or to be developed into larger designs. I havent found the time or inclination for much drawing or painting lately, but that's all going to change when I start my hand-knitting design course in January.
Its nice to look at this and wonder what kind of knitted garment it could inspire!

Watch out knitting world, she's on her way......I think you're going to be an amazing designer!
Oh yeah, the ripple thing with the purples? Great idea!
7 for 7! You're good...
Oh, I meant to write this the other day on a different post...about the knitterly items you use...
I also don't use a 'stitch/row-counter', I use a pen and I have these bitty notepads...that's how I keep track of my rows...and stitches...
