Knitting adventures 2016

This year I decided to get back to knitting. My first mission was to look for a place to buy wool other than Spotlight and Lincraft. I took a drive to Bendigo Woolen Mills. Being at the Woollen Mills felt like a  child in a candy store. There was a wide variety of wool, in different colours and thickness.The back room was even more interesting because that is where the wool on special is kept. I bought 100% wool for the first time and was excited to work with it. I found it to be very soft and easy to work with.

My first project was a jumper  in stocking stitch with cable pockets. This was a simple project to get me back into the swing of knitting after many years. I had not knitted a jumper for 12years. The jumper was easy to make and I was pleased with the outcome.


To take a break from big project, I made finger less mittens for a coworker, my first attempt at using leftover wool..See the outcome below.

Next up was my new project , which is a waitress' vest.I started the project , the ran out of wool. I started all over again and found that I had made errors....

PS: That project remains incomplete.
