On the needles...

Image from here

At the moment I am taking a few minutes break from the latest knitting adventure. The Baby Shrug by Debbie Bliss in Simply Baby.

I am not used to circular needles at all, and have found them clumsy (or I am clumsy using them!) but this has been a good knit, easy to navigate and turning out well. Instead of the suggested Cashmerino, I am using a Bamboo in a yummy apple green. Two reasons for this: I am using what I have, and also the baby for whom I am knitting is due in January in Canberra. Hot people. Very hot.

I am determined to complete this in the next day or so. I am knitting the 3-6 month version, which is tiny, but hopefully will be cute enough for a newborn or premmie.

I am trying to finish what I have started, however am as yet unable to locate my current knitting in the unpacking! Dreadful!

I am also interested to know if there are knitters out there who are interested in helping finish projects that have stalled. Suitable fees can be negotiated for an hourly rate - all needles and yarns have already been collected. It's such a shame to think of things left unfinished purely as I am a painfully SLOW knitter!
