Despite this I have managed to make some progress on Lauriel, not as much as I would have liked or thought I would have by now, but it's certainly not to be scoffed at. So I thought I'd pop on and share with you all, seeing as once again, already, it's WIP Wednesday!

As you can see I have cast off the whole body section, hurrah! I'm going to knit the border next, and then I can use the rest of the yarn left to knit the sleeves, hopefully as long as I like them. I'm a bit nervous about knitting the border and sleeves, as picking up stitches and knitting in the round is not my best skill, and I really don't want to muck this up (again). At least I wouldn't have to frog back the body this time I guess. I think I might wait until I can get a quick pointer from my friends at knitting group, although it's likely I won't be able to go until October because of my long work hours. :(
So in the meantime, to keep me busy and out of trouble, I have cast on my Tembo. This is a gorgeous autumn winter cardigan that I hope will knit up a bit quicker than Lauriel, seeing as it calls for aran yarn. It's so blumming cold here in the UK already, I actually neeeeeed it right now!
So that's me, I better get ready for another 10-hour shift at work, groan. Can't say when I'll be back with more updates, but hopefully I'll have something more to show you soon. Thanks for stopping by as always.

P.S. I finally remembered to randomly pick a winner for the lovely Olivia Rubin scarf I promised to give away for my birthday - sorry for the delay. And here's the winner... (drum roll please!)...
Sarah (Crafts From The Cwtch) said...Lovely FO! It would work with a long sleeved t-shirt in the cold too - very nice!
My favourite fragrance..? The smell of rain on a hot day!
