Quick - I've cast on again!(ᵔᴥᵔ)

Woah!
Having not had the urge to knit for quite some time, then under the pressure of a deadline,
I re-discovered my knitting mojo.
And how!
So, within half an hour of Youngest placing his hat on his head,
I was casting on.

 Two shades of deliciously blue and squadgy alpaca.
And now that I've knitted a few rows,
I know that I've missed knitting,
I'd just not realised how much.

The big reveal will happen soon xx



Now - for Eileen T - You asked how to get the twinkly effect from the cursor - open your layout, 'add a gadget' look for the HTML/JavaScript and insert this code     <script type="text/javascript" src="http://24work-new.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/24work-blogspot/snow-cursor/code/051_lavender_blush2_ebdde2_24work.blogspot.com.js"></script>

I did try several codes before I found this version, it was the first one that worked in blogger. There are many other varieties out there, takes a while to find ones that are compatible. Good luck hope it works for you too (ᵔᴥᵔ)

Edited to add

 PS - I'd knitted about 20 rows when I stumbled at the first hurdle....MRl and ML1 - yes yes I know what they mean - I just can't do them neatly enough and they look horrendous!! So back to the drawing board :(

    I don't know what they mean ... knitting patterns remain a complete mystery to me!

    Thanks for the code, I'll have a go later - need it for my new look (which I still have to finish sorting out).

    New knitting codes to me so cannot help! Seems a lot of yarn for a hat so am thinking it might not be a hat! A shawl perhaps....

    Off to the fields to pull up some thistles!

    Alpaca is delightfully squidgy isn't it? x

    It's lovely to find a renewed enthusiasm for something. The blue yarn is very appealing - I wonder what you'll make?
