finished Kiri


Well, I finished Kiri last night and it was a close thing, had 18" of yarn left at the end. Can't block yet as mum is visiting so no spare floor space as kids are sleeping there so here's an unblocked piccy. Hope to get it blocked next week, along with a scarf and stole.

My first foray into Blogging

Well after reading many knitting related posts I've finally bit the bullet and started a blog, busy on a stashalong at themoment so hopefully I should have finished knitting to show soon, here's the stuff I finished this week
