Cozy
I never did get anywhere with Clapotis. Couldn't work out what to do with all those stitch markers and the pattern did require some concentration and I've now accepted that I'm a knitter of small and shiny things. Concentration and focus are beyond me. Lately I have been entertaining myself with Cozy. A very forgiving pattern, luckily, as there are quite a few too-many-glasses-of-wine or distracted-by-CSI-Miami moments immortalised in this piece. The pattern is perfect for me, very very simple but produces something that looks just a bit more complicated than it is.
I'm knitting it in Rowan's Summer Tweed Oats, which I already had, on 5mm circular needles. I was thinking it would then be a nice weight for those cooler summer evenings sitting in my Mum's backyard in Melbourne sipping my chardonnay.
And I'm hoping to get to Coco & Pearls which sounds a bit more fun than the average crafty expo. It does coincide with our nephew's birthday though so I will have to be creative in working out a way to fit in the two events!
