Holy Colourwork Batman!!

“I'll have a 'P' please Bob!” - I have always wanted to say that!!
To give me some knitted joy today I’m using a handknit phone sock that was gifted to me! It’s a FO but not my FO so I can’t take any of the credit for this super-dooper little project – I was only on stand-by for the two-handed colourwork (and might be responsible for it finishing up too small for his phone, hence is being gifted to me!) Isn’t this the lushest?! Even though I spend way too much time knitting being given a handknit gift is simply the best! And this is a fine example – fab colours, mega soft yarn – it even has a P for phone on it! I love, love, love it!
I was hoping that after a weekend knitting marathon that the secret lace project would be in the final stages and the Bold & Bulky Mini Cardi would be finished. It’s close but no cigar, so here’s my progress report…
I have had to lay off the lace due to a sustaining an injury – seriously I have a small but oh-so painful puncture wound to my left hand pointy finger caused by the silly small and super sharp needles!! Lace knitting is all about making holes, I just don’t think they should be in me as well! While I believe in suffering for ones art this is going a little too far even for me, so it’s in hibernation till I’m back to match fitness.
The Bold & Bulky Mini Cardi is definitely at the final furlong! With only one sleeve and the neck band to go I think I could be on a winner. The shaping is divine beyond belief – I simply can’t wait to wear it with the Paris dress this weekend!
