I was going to start doing the Show and Tell Friday project, which this week is about addictions, but this,

Earl_grey

Home_books

was as far as I got, then an hour later I found myself sitting on the floor with an empty teacup and dreaming about the photographs in Andrew Bush’s Bonnettstown: A House in Ireland….

I thought I’d borrow an idea from Suse of Pea Soup and do a little interactive blogging (i.e., please post a comment with your answer to today’s question). What is the last piece of knitting you worked on before putting it down to read knitting blogs?

I’ll start —

the glacially-progressing but always-satisfying Ostrich Plume blanket.

Hi – technically 2 items – depends how you decide what knitting is…. the first a pair of socks in pink opal sock yarn that is for the daughter and is irritatingly too skinny to work on 20cm needles so is on dble pins and I picked up, sighed and put down again. Or, a sweater designed by Solveig Hisdal in the round in terracottas/reds etc which is gorgeous beyond belief and I knitted 3 rows before being stuck down by the gastric bug again. So, it depends – if moving the yarn is knitting or just thinking about it counts!!! That is one pretty, pretty blanket.

I’ve been half heartedly working on a pair of socks for xmas. And I’ve recently picked up Jesse’s Flames from SnB for my brother. Oddly enough the 6×1 body ribbing is holding my interest more than the socks. But reading the blogs always wins out. 🙂

I was knitting another pair of these:

for a Christmas gift. But blogs distracted me. So too did the fact that I have lost (read: packed away in effort to clean the house) the pattern and can’t remember how many rows to knit before decreasing.
Love your blanket. And thanks for your comments on my blog recently. Hugh Laurie … sigh. (Although I saw him on an ad for a tv show recently where he plays a doctor, and my lord he needed a shave).
