Skywatch Friday

Another boring overcast sky I'm afraid this Friday for Skywatch Friday. Most of the week we have had lovely sunsets/sunrises/blue skies/rain skies but today nothing interesting at all.

I took a pic through the trees when I took Charlie to the park this morning. I tried to get dog, tree and sky but it didn't work too well so we have the combined pic, followed by a tree and sky shot and lastly a dog shot.

and last but by no means least I went to the football with the family earlier in the week. I haven't been for a very long time and it made a nice change.

Cabletini

Cabletini socks knitted with Socks That Rock Pepe La Plume yarn finished yesterday.

These are the beginnings of Jeannie Cartmel mystery socks. I may or may not be back with an update on the progress of these in the next month of so. Hopefully yes but maybe no depending on how they go. This is the yarn I tried to dye with beetroot and coffee a few weeks ago but most of the colour fell out so I overdyed it with kool aid.

Lessons Over

Learn Something New Everyday ended with September. I didn't manage to do as I had planned and scrap a page a day so instead I have combined it all onto one page. I hate the pink hand cut LESSONS letters but I couldn't find any alphabet stickers where I had enough s's left and I wanted to get it finished. Alphabets must be on my 'to buy' list soon and then I can replace them.





I have a monthly challenge running on my shop blog where you can win two sets of Prima Say It In Pearls & Crystals and a big bag of flowers. All you have to do is to upload via My Linky on the blog a craft project, scrapbook layout, card with flowers to enter before the end of October.

Skywatch Friday

This Skywatch Friday the sky is producing some of the wet stuff that we haven't seen for a while.

A Knitting Royalty Kit

This year I joined Socks That Rock - a sock knitting kit club and the September one has just arrived.

The designers of the socks in the kits are all very well known but this month it is Cat Bordhi who I would consider part of knitting royalty. There is only one kit left for this year but 2 designers on the list so hopefully in November there will be 2 patterns. One of those designers is my absolute favourite sock designer - Cookie A who also has a lot of free patterns available in the online knitting magazine Knitty

Anyway this is the September kit. Yarn is called River Rocked and it is gorgeous autumnal shades of browns and teal.

and this is the pattern. Hopefully work will start on these very soon.

and as for that sari silk yarn. It is going in the bin. I have done about 12 inches of the scarf and it looks a complete mess. Even holding it very gently there are lots of sections where one slight tug and it is broken so I am admitting defeat.
