Well, we have had our May Bank Holiday here in the UK. As usual a rather damp weekend, but apart from a few showers, not too bad today.
The cats have spent the day indoors, making themselves very comfortable. This photo was taken a little while ago. Things do not change............
During the week, some yarn I ordered arrived. This was in a sale - and I need it for a top I plan to knit soon. I have promised myself that I will not buy any more yarn until my yarn stash is rather smaller than it is at present. I have also promised myself not to buy any more fabric either. I shall try to use as much of it as I can to make any new projects.
My dear husband was rather amused to find a note I had written to myself saying "no new fabric". He knows me rather well..........
This is the Mystery Blanket project I am knitting with the Elizabeth's Year group. I am rather out of step with the group at present since this was the project for April! Never mind, I am enjoying myself. The original pattern for this design comes from "The Knitter's Almanac" by Elizabeth Zimmerman. It does not have a curving line of increases or the lacy insert.
I went to a celebration yesterday with my husband. A dear friend of ours has just remarried. It was so nice to go, celebrate his wedding and meet some friends we had not seen for a number of years. A number had travelled some distance to come for the event. We all had a lot of fun chatting, dancing and laughing together. Plans were made to meet again soon.

It has been great to watch the progress of your knitting. Everything looks wonderful and the new yarn looks to be a lovely colour. Maybe you are the person I should consult about lace knitting - have you done any with really fine silk?

Ah, Margaret, now I haven't yet done any lace-work using silk. What a gorgeous thought though. Silk has such a wonderful texture.
Thanks for the kind comments on my knitting.
The new yarn feels as nice as it looks. I'm itching to get on with the top I plan to knit with it.
I love your blanket variations! That looks wonderful. I am so far out of touch with the group that the Pi shawl is the only thing I've actually completed, and I made it over the winter. Maybe 2009 I'll make it straight through.....
I wouldn't worry about it Toni, you probably have a lot of your own projects to work on. I find myself only working on those projects I know I shall use.
Thanks for the comments on my variations. I'm glad you like them.
Is there anyone on the Elizabeth's Year group that is on track? Your blanket is coming along beautifully. It may take a few years to get through EZ's one year plan anyway. Enjoy the journey!
