Oh, cringe.
I’ve been spelling stockinette with a “g” for ages. On knitter’s web forums. In patterns. I hate it when I spell things incorrectly. I urge you to point out to me anything I get wrong. Please.
Thanks.

Knit You Next Tuesday
Mature Content Warning!
Have been reading Benjamin Wilson’s blog KnitYouNextTuesday avidly when I should have been writing my cardi pattern up. I had the pleasure of meeting him on Saturday at Knitting Rocks. Love his “Wolfsbait Hat” description: “Wolfsbait is fairytale hat inspired by all things “off the path”. Stylised syringes and subtly sculptural female genitalia adorn the hat below a crown of ballbags and erect phalli. The colours suggest Fly Agaric and the shaping suggests a Liberty Cap.”
He’s reminded me that knitting doesn’t have to be suburban-mum-nice. Def need to make something naughty when I get a free minute! Now, let me think…
Knitting in the sunshine
Bliss!
Knitting in the sunshine on a Sunday morning while Daddy has a lie-in. Kids having a tea party and offering me their choicest dishes. Was also handed an orange plastic cup of “wine”. And it’s not even 10am! Shocking! Although there was a slight mishap with the cast-off. I’m blaming the synthahol. Life is good. <Anti-jinx and three Hail Mary’s.>
Also, we had a most eggcellent breakfast.

I’ve knit so much with circs lately I’ve forgotten what to do with sticks. Been using some DPNs for a quick swatch. Keep throwing away the left needle at the end of every row.
