This isn't pretty!
My quarterly clubs arrived and I went to the Glasgow Yarn festival and then there was the Australia themed sock yarn ... so the grand total in was 1250g. It was another unproductive month knitting wise as I only managed to finish three things. So wool out was only 243 g which means a net increase for October of 1007, and the reduction for the year is down to 6769.
The projects I managed were
the last of the baby cardigans from who knows when - still awaiting transport to the charity shop.
Poppy's new blanket with the leftovers.
and this is a project for a Christmas swap. Since it was largely lace it gave me a lot of trouble but I managed in the end. It's a Victorian style muff and obviously I wouldn't knit one of those for just any random person but my swap partner is a regular attendee at Victorian/steam punk events so this seemed perfect. The yarn came from the cardigan kit that I disassembled, it was perfect, being the right weight for the pattern and also the right colours for my partner who loves autumnal shades.
Not entirely sure why productivity was so low this month although going away didn't help, and I did a non knitting thing that took ages and isn't quite finished and there was something else that I had a lot of trouble with which I mostly knitted in October but doesn't count because I didn't finish it until yesterday.
Numbers for November are looking a bit better so far, and I hope I might get more knitting done than I've managed recently. Certainly hope so!
Love that muff!
