Things we did over the Summer part one.

 I have been enjoying somewhat of a knitting frenzy over the Summer holidays just past. There were several successful Sunday nights over at Posh Yarns and even more amazingly, there were knitting completions. Lace and cables if you don't mind. Sometimes even on the same scarf!  

Princess C-W was quite taken with all of this finishing amazement and requested to knit some wristwarmers. I gave her some 10mm needles and we found some big ole yarn that she loved and she made a start.

destructoBoy then asked if he could knit something too. I had a ball of Sirdar super-chunky yarn in a blue he quite fancied and with a commitment that shamed we girls he knitted up a storm. However one ball of super-chunky yarn on 12mm needles doesn't really go very far so a couple of days after he started we went at bought another ball.  He decided a green would make an excellent contrast. Within two more days he was done. Finished. Completed.

Despite its blurriness I love this picture because it shows just how chuffed he is to have created his 'scarf of two halves'.


This picture lets you see the scarf in all its glory and him in all his dagginess.
