Thought I'd better show you how the wool I dyed is knitting up...I am knitting a soaker called
"Vanilla". It's such an easy pattern, although I was a little daunted by some of the techniques when I first read the pattern, especially the PCO (Provisional Cast On), but I did a practice and it wasn't as scary as I first thought.
I love how the red & yellow is knitting up together. Now I am up to the bands and realised I don't have the right circular needle for them, so...I have started another one!!
This one is in 12ply Bendigo Woolen mills 'Rustic' & the colour is 'Midnight Tweed', it's a very nice wool to knit with and is knitting up quite quickly...only catch...I don't have the correct circs to do the body for this one...so...when I finish doing the bit on straight needles, I will just have to...
...start another one!!
Yes, I have ordered the needles I need and hopefully will have them this week.
On another subject completely now...
I made a new nappy for my tractor mad little boy the other day and took some pics.
Pity it needs a cover to go over it though...not to worry, I do have some John Deere fleece sitting here too waiting to be made into a cover, they'll make a good pair!
Look closely at the second photo and you can just see some of Hubby's model tractors in the cabinet behind!
How's this? I love this pattern and I'm impressed how my dyeing job worked. I think I may have done an extra couple of rows in the body of it...oops...doesn't matter. And I also knitted less rows on the leg bands than the pattern says (I meant that). I will get a pic of them on a bum, they look much better on a 'model'.
