I’m trapped in our flat because the boiler made horrible noises and expired this morning, spitting black water onto the kitchen wall in the process. One phone call to the plumber later and I am waiting for someone to turn up between the hours of 9 and 12.
Of course, I’ve already booked all my vac days up, so whoo, unpaid day at home!
It’s not all bad though. I’m huddling under a blanket and taking advantage of the extra time to knit! My WiP/Hogswatch knitting are breeding, I think. I now have five things on the needles, most of which I can’t talk about until after Hogswatch. But I can post pictures of a few things!
First up, a WiP I can talk about. The leftover vest is now up to the splitting point and I’m knitting the back at the moment.
It is far more further on than the photo but this at least shows the stripe pattern, which I pretty much generated on the fly as I knitted.
And a Finished Object!
It’s the baby hat from One Skein, which I knitted in an evening for a co-worker’s new baby. Not got any photos of baby in hat yet because daddy’s is on paternity leave + vacation until the new year but hopefully, it will keep the new addition to their family warm this winter. Plus once I’d got through the first two rows, the pattern clicked and off it went. I’ll definitely be knitting more of these in the future!
