Knitting and sewing and baking and love and a son and happiness

Knitting in Seattle

I'm over in Seattle to see my wonderful and strikingly handsome Chuck. Sneaked the knitting needles on board two flights with the intention of knitting something while Chuck is teaching and I'm snuggled up on the sofa.

My cousin gave birth to a beautiful little girl last week; Isobel Rose, so pink socks are on the needles currently. I also brought some wonderful cotton yarn with me with the sole intention of knitting something for me - what a refreshing change! Unfortunately, I find metal ended circular needles an utter chore to use when I am so used to bamboo. As we say in England, "I simply can't get away with them." So, 239 stitches have been removed from the needles and a quest for bamboo ended circular needles is on.

Seattle appears to have some amazing yarn shops so I intend to drag Chuck kicking and screaming to a couple or seven over the next week. Who knows, I might find bamboo ended circulars.... or at least some gorgeous yarn....!
