Day errrrrr: call it 20!
What did I say? I said, “I will take a pic everyday (as long as I can) and post them here.”
This I have not done. However, I have been knitting! Which is the point… Been a crazy couple of weeks, including a football tour to Florence where we beat the Italians on penalties in the final. Then a week working from the MSF office in Brussels (great people, great beers, a lot of fun). Then a final football competition in Belgium, which we got knocked out of in the final on golden goal. Hence, not much photo taking and blogging, but………………………….
………………… lots of knitting (for me anyway). The only days I knitted nothing were the three days of football in which I was either playing, celebrating, commiserating or sleeping. Change of colour wasn’t too hard, although I have a funny line of white running through the red. Something to improve on I guess. Suggestions of what went wrong welcome…
Not sure how this happened....
And, unfortunately, my first hole. At least it’s a good one. I lulled myself into a false sense of security thinking I could watch Che at the same time as knit. Wrong!
Blame Che Guevara
Now things have settled down, I will begin charting progress again. I’m getting there though. Soon be time to get your cheque book out Steve!

That’s not a funny line of white, it’s the way it ought to look on the purl side… I have just realised that you are doing knit AND Purl… you know what this means, don’t you?
It means sweaters.
It means socks.
It means hats.
I am very proud of you!

Thanks Natalie! Not sure what purling is, but I am very glad I am doing it…. For the first time the other day, a jumper crossed my mind – must be careful!

Don’t worry – the line should be there – it is the wrong side. However it does look like you’ve got some loose stitches around the hole. You might want to put anything unattached onto a safety pin before it unravels!

Cheers for the tip. I’ll get the other half to identify where the pin must go. She’s still the expert out of the two of us….
