Just quickly...

Blogger is doing strange things this morning. I usually have to add my pictures one at a time, as my broadband connection isn't all that it might be. This morning it won't let me add any pictures at all. It may just be this connection, but I don't think so. Anyway, I will try again later.

I finished the Regia Banner socks last night. I'll post a picture when Blogger lets me, but no surprises there of course.

I've also started another pair, in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock, which is one of my favourite yarns - colourway is Lilac. I'm working these with a picot edge, and I've used the lifeline provisional cast one, which I really like. It is so much easier not to have to release the stitches from the crochet chain one at a time - with this you can just unzip the whole thing and the stitches sit there waiting for you on the lifeline.

And wouldn't it be good if I could post some photos of that?! Later, perhaps.


I am in some doubt as to the future of the Mesh Scarf. It really is not easy to work with this soft yarn and a fine hook - with cotton (for which the pattern was written, of course) it would be much easier.

But I want something to use up this lovely alpaca. I shall have to think about it. What can I do with 400 metres of beautiful fine black alpaca 4 ply?
