~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. ~
On my needles is the Quick Knit 1940's Style Sweater. It actually is a very quick to knit pattern- but read the starting instructions carefully :) I had to frog it a couple of times!
No book this week, but rather a magazine. I had been hoping to get hold of the latest Country Living UK, but it wasn't there. Instead, I had English Home- the December/Christmas edition. I could not resist the allure of traditional Christmas eats and stuff :)
I do beg pardon for the quality of lighting in the photo- but apparently night-time is not the best time to take the photos ;) Oh well, it does at least give a great look at the twisted stitch of my top!
Underneath, is a very bad picture of the skirt I am making the top for- my circle skirt. I was too late for the initial circle skirt sew along- but Casey says she'll be hosting another party, so I shall try and get the petticoat done so I can participate :)
The skirt is finished though!

That sweater looks so impressive! Is it cable knitted?
ReplyDeleteIt IS a cable stitch- but a small one that you use a tricky twist to make :) But very simple to do :)
ReplyDeleteBasically every other row I am just twisting two stitches.
I LOVE the fabric for your skirt and it goes beautifully with the top. Go to look for that English Home. I love that magazine.
ReplyDeleteI have one magazine that I have to hunt down every year too. It's the Canadian Living Christmas mag. One year I bought it and two other people bought it for me too!!!
ReplyDeleteJill- thanks :) Mine was in Barnes and Noble...
ReplyDeleteKeri- sounds like a great time to share :) There are just some magazines worth the trouble ;)
The start to your sweater looks lovely :) Knitting cables is on my list of things to try this winter :) Happy knitting!
