Did the set-up for the Harrogate K&S today, and though I says it myself, it looks rather good. Not that this has much to do with me, Nanny Ogg and Freyalyn did most of the work of arranging etc, but I suppose standing back and saying "left hand down a bit" from time to time has some value.
Now we must wait and see if "anyone" (you know who I mean!) comments, favourably or not! Pete and I will be there on Saturday. It's a fun deal, half a day's duty, the other half to socialise and wander round and er.......Shop. Not too much, if I can manage to be restrained, my latest credit card bill is appalling. Although quite a bit of the shocking total is for spindles and fibre for resale, so I suppose I shouldn't be too hard on myself.
Now - I have this dire thought constantly in my head. I should totally frog the strip waistcoat, and redo it in domino knitting. Is that grotesque, or what, after all the a: work; b: bleating on about it. Humph. But there is not getting away from the notion now it is implanted, and it is an idea with merit, for heaven's sake. I am far from convinced that the strip concept is working - I am not sure that the yarn is balanced enough, and I think the strips may be biasing a very little. This would not be a problem in most things, but this, with strips of varying length - it could be a disaster. Then I have some bits out of whack and need to alter them anyway....
I came up with this concept to accommodate the varying shades of purple in some yarn spun from some Rovings polwarth. Domino would do the same job, garter diamonds wouldn't bias....oh, shucks, I don't know. Watch this effing space.
