better than watching tv!

Well, rather than sprawling out on the lounge today with the knitting, I thought I might have a go at making a  top with some knitted fabric.
The basic idea was to make a top to go over a skivvy or high neck jumper, but something long enough to wear with leggings and boots...



the fabric was very difficult to work with...



the fabric itself was very difficult to work with as being knitted, it just wanted to pull and unravel. So there was a lot of overlocking of every edge and twin needles were necessary.

Pressing it also proved to be a nightmare as the cool setting on the iron wasn't hot enough to get rid of the pesky wrinkles, but any hotter and ....sizzle...sizzle...

thank goodness for a pressing cloth...

On another topic, I made (yet another) scarf on Thursday night. It is in lovely brown tones and amazingly matches the top I just made....hmmm... me accessorising !  who would have thought!

Now I think I will sprawl out in front of the idiot box with my next knitting project...to give you a hint, I am using 25mm needles, so expect something BIG...

Enjoy the rest of the long weekend xx
