When I last posted about the .......... (insert your own swear word) sequin square it seems I completely overlooked the fact that a few days later I am off on holiday for a week to Boston in the States. No reason why you should care much however, firstly this lead to the camera being packed early - I'm not in charge of camera packing - hence no picture! Secondly what am I going to knit on the plane and the week away? Anyone know this one? So I think, lovely I can knit with the exquisite green silk yarn from Fyberspates and make another shawl like the Prairie Rose Shawl. All was going well until my good knitting Buddie pointed out that this yarn was not doing to give me a lovely cosy shawl like my other one (see Jane13 Ravelry page). She is absolutely right and consequently this lead to further panic and a dash to Loop my favourite London Knitting Store to buy some cashmere yarn. But who knew they no longer open on Mondays!!! The disappointment was huge especially as half the purpose of all this knitting stuff stops me thinking about the journey to Boston which is not my favourite part.
So what am I going to do on the plane? I'm still not sure, I am taking some bright pink Madeline Tosh Yarn but when I get an idea fixed in my mind it is very hard to budge it so hey ho I'm guessing my first stop in Boston will be the highly recommended Windsor Button to seek that elusive Cashmere yarn.
Catch up soon
Jane
