Spring cleaning has begun and I am finding many unfinished projects, fallen by the wayside. These photographs are from my neglected knitting. I love to knit but haven't made time for any this year. The balls of wool are from Norway and the chunky purple wool is from Iceland. I like to buy wool and needles on holiday, making fine souvenirs and great to see how craft shops vary in different places. I have a few scarves on the go, all needing attention.
Thinking about knitting today, I remembered an inspiring lecture day on knitting I went to with my Mum at the V&A Museum. From looking today I've found the website contains great knitting resources. Information on Regional Knitting in the British Isles & Ireland. Even 1940s Patterns to Knit and so many links.
This sounds good, I Knit London shop, not heard of this before. A visit to Loop is long over due. Last time I bought a ball of Be Sweet Boucle Mohair, so soft and made a gorgeous little cream scarf.
Lovely blogs suggested by the V&A are Vintage Knitting and My Fashionable Life. Last year I found Knitting Iris, full of textiles, along with these beauties.
