Shawls, Socks and all things Small

When I first started knitting, aged 6, I mainly knitted small things. Then I moved onto making jumpers and cardigans, however over the last few years I have found that many of the garments I made, didn't fit me properly or looked as good on me as they did the model in the knitting magazine. I still love knitting and always have something on the needles or crochet hook.

Last year I made 15 hats in 2015 a KAL hosted by the Stash and Burn podcast.

This year I am all about shawls and socks. Quick (ish) one skein projects often using lovely hand dyed yarns acquired on holidays, business trips to NYC (husband) and late night internet shopping.  They bring joy to the soul in their colour and textures.

As you can see most of my current choices are garter stitch projects as I struggle to get an even stitch on circular needles when I purl. I have a feeling I need to switch to continental style knitting.
