I can't believe I've not updated for nearly a week. I am a bad blogger. Then again I've not done a massive amount of bloggable things this week. To make up for it here's a picture heavy blog post of progress and pretty things:
 |
| Merino Tencel Laceweight in Flower Power from the Knitting Goddess |
|
This gorgeous butter soft yarn is from The Knitting Goddess and I bought it when she was giving 50% of her sales to the Disasters Emergency Committee (correction) for Pakistan Disaster Relief. Knitting seems to attract charity giving and lots of people on Ravelry have been giving money from pattern or yarn sales often to Medicins sans Frontieres or Doctors without Borders. MSF is supported by lots of knitters, crocheters and yarnies often via
p/hop which is a
very worthy cause to support.

| Peggy Sue |
This is an awful photo of Peggy Sue in progess (see there has been
some progress). That first sleeve needs about 8 more rows and then there's sleeve 2, buttons and blocking to go.
 |
| Iridescent beads | |
Some very pretty peacock shaded beads from Spellbound Beads. I was rummaging for the shawl pin seen holding Peggy Sue together above and found a tub of beads I'd forgotten about. And they're so pretty!

| John's Scarf |
John's scarf now has two repeats and I've finally remembered to print out the chart pattern so once Peggy Sue is finished this takes priority. In the meantime it's had a short trip outside to bask in most unusual sunshine. for someone who is afeared of cables I'm quite pleased with this.
And finally, for the non-knitters around some lovely purple clematis which is at it's best at the moment. Sadly this one might have to come out this year so the climbing roses can have more room so I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

Great photos - and one tiny correction. Our donation went to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal for Pakistan rather than via MSF.
