Done some more stash reducing.
* Started with a green sweater for the older brother of the boy that got the first green one - by machine except for the ribbing.
* Then I knitted the yellow one. I used a Drops design pattern, but instead of colour work I used an purl stitch - knitted by hand during my Hurtigruten trip in February.
* Then I knitted the red one - same pattern - now in colour. Did the yoke and ribbing by hand, rest was done on the knitting machine.
* Did a quicky, a hat, by hand. And a yellow one by machine, which meant a seam at the back, which I don't like; but it was a 20 min job, which was a bonus.
* After that it was time to finish the C2C crochet blanket.
* And last week did the short sleeved sweater, a slub cotton and acrylic mix. Also a Drops design, named Lucky Ducky; and like the other one I had to recalculate for the yarn I used.
I just gave my fine gauge machine away. Still hanging on to the bulky. I just enjoy hand knitting so much more.
I still have to try out the ribber, but for now I am quite happy to have the k2 p2 to do by hand. Machine is to noisy to use when watching TV (or rather when my husband is).
Hugs, Lidia
