Throw Me a Lifeline

This is just a quickie extra post to report on the knitting weekend!

Well, Mum started off okay. Ignored the dusting, did cook (mainly because then she could spend money on yarn, see post below, rather than takeaway) and also did a few (6 actually) loads of washing.

Then she settled down to knit.

Enter little Knitting Gremlin (so Mum says) who decided to help with a row, making Mum end up with less stitches than she should have had. A bit of tinking and no luck later she had to frog it all....................................................................................................................
back to the LIFELINE that she had put in!

Hooray for lifelines! (Mum interrupting MY blog again!)

Obviously she has learnt her lesson (see earlier post The House of Flying Knitting Needles for those of you who are unaware of my brush with death) and was very relieved as the lifeline wasn't that far back and it saved her the disaster of the Forest Canopy incident.

However due to this incident Mum didn't get quite as much done as she would have liked but is being philosophical about it and realising it could have been worse!

I never did find that Knitting Gremlin and that is bothering me!
How did he get past security!

lifeline, brilliant!

ah yes, the addictive qualities of noro. silk garden and kureyon are very similar, and would work as a substitute. i'm using 4 balls to make the large counterpane bag with size 10.5 needles. it's such a fun knit, i hope you make it!
