Joining in with Ginny<\/a> from Small Things for yarn along.<\/p>\n

I’ve been knitting Jairah’s Aksel<\/a> vest this week. \u00c2\u00a0It is knitting up really quickly, thanks to using magic loop. \u00c2\u00a0I wrote a post earlier this week on how I feel so silly for not learning this method earlier. \u00c2\u00a0I didn’t have the required yarn size the pattern called for, so I have used different sized needles and following the size 2 pattern instructions, I’m hoping for a size 4 outcome. \u00c2\u00a0The pattern isn’t fantastically written . \u00c2\u00a0There are a few typos and some of the instructions are a little vague. \u00c2\u00a0May have to make a few etra notes on my Ravelry page once the vest is finished.<\/p>\n

I’ve knitted a lot more since I took the picture this morning, but the sun sets now about 5.30pm, so I didn’t bother taking another picture, as the lighting will be wrong.<\/p>\n

I’ve finally ordered some\u00c2\u00a0yarn<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(Ruby colour) for my next project, Tea Leaves cardigan, fingers crossed it will arrive before the weekend, as I want to make a start.<\/p>\n

As for reading, I finished my kindle book, Growing Up Country:<\/a> Memories of an Iowa Farm Girl, by Carol Bodensteiner. \u00c2\u00a0It was a lovely read and I could relate to a lot of things she wrote about. \u00c2\u00a0I can highly recommend it as a light, entertaining read.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to seeing all your lovely creations. \u00c2\u00a0Jacinta x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
