first time in English

So, this is quite scary! English is not my native language, so I’ll excuse myself for mistakes. It has been a long time since I last posted a blog. The main reason is I started my own business while finishing my old job, so I had a lot to do! Of course I have been knitting and crafting in this period, because what’s life without it, right?

The last thing I showed you was wool I dyed with natural dyes. I love the colours I got, but I don’t like the process. I really prefer acid dyes to work with. Maybe I’ll try again somtime, but I don’t think so.

Knitting wise I have finished another pair of socks!

And I have finished a cardigan. I did something wrong with de button bands. One of them is much looser than the other. I think I used the wrong needle size for one of the sides. I’m thinking about doing the wider one again, to make it more wearable.

Right now I’m finishing another pair of socks.

These are the Fred and George socks by Rachel Coopey. I hope to get them off my needles today, so I can enter them in the June socks knit along hosted by the grocery girls.

My other projects did not get as much love as they should have. No need to show them now. I hope that I’ll get more project done now my old job is coming to an end.

After posting this I’m going to have a look at a lovely kitten that we may want to buy.

Have a nice weekend!
Irma
