Wot!

I'm busy working on my leg warmers, inspired by this: http://theknittinggarden.com/gallery-march/mar-free-1.htm, although I've made some adjustments in the pattern, and am using a lovely Rowan Chunky Print (which is called Deep End: see picture), instead of the different colours. I've finished the first one and am now working on the second. It was a bit tricky to stitch the leg warmer together into a leg-like shape, but I got it to fit in the end. It looks quite bulky, but it keeps my feet really warm and that's what matters :)

And... since all that remains of this project is to repeat what I've already done, I'm already starting a new one. Inspired by Gracie's Endpaper Mitts I've decided to try and make a pair of my own. That is, as soon as I master the Fair Isle and the new needles.

I love bamboo.

Hurrah! My dear dear computer is working again, so I can finally see our lovely blog. I do like the owl (is that Hedwig?).
In other good news: after finishing my exam I spent a very productive evening yesterday, knitting. I'm officially in love with the new bamboo knitting needles, I may make a shrine to sacrifice small animals to it :) When I get to my parents house tomorrow I'll try and nick their digital camera so that I can show you my progress: my scarf is now about as long as my upper arm. I actually got so carried away that I decided that I needed more yarn and went back to the store today to get more of the Soft Tweed.
hugs,
Pippa
ps. I'm getting really curious about my birthday present...
