I’ve found a broomstick lace pattern I want to do
10.30.09
I got the yarn today as well. Knitting and Stitching show: much walking around the RDS. much feeling shattered by 2pm. How did I ever manage to work a waitress shift.
Bought one set of cardigan patterns which, if I am honest, there is no chance I’ll touch until I finish the cardigan that I recently started and am doing no work on because I’m just not motivated. But I saw some really nice Lang silk/mohair mix and picked up four balls of it for a project which shouldn’t talk more than about 10 hours if I get a rhythm going.
Lots of craft stuff. Lots of cardmaking stuff. Not so much crochet stuff. Some yarn but very little I couldn’t live without. The fact that I am swimming in the stuff – my mother says she has three boxes. I must have at least that and more too. I like the Lang stuff though; wish someone in Ireland would sell it. I prefer it to the Noro plus it’s half the price of the Noro and a good deal more regular – that’s the sound of frustration in the voice of someone whose household project with the Noro is going Nowhere.
The scarf though…I could go to the IBL in DCU to take photographs tomorrow (I will, probably, for a little while, just to see), and then go climbing myself and then spend the evening trying to get the broomstick lace to work. In some respects it’s easier without the broomstick lace than with. Could do with a slightly larger hook, however. Never happy.
I was hoping for more crochet books, or knitting lace books. I didn’t really find any I liked of either apart from the pattern book with 4 cardigans in it. I still have a yen to make a dress or a skirt but I didn’t see any yarn I liked for that (oh wait, maybe I might siphon off the Noro that I do have into a project there….hmmm….evil thoughts).
Anyway, have a new work in project and a deep desire to do some work on it this evening so time to go.
