Nerdy Knitting Update

 I’ve been knitting a lot lately, partly after being inspired by the Perth Yarn Festival and partly as I have covid and am bored staying in.

I’ve been trying some new kit and techniques.

I really like circular needles with interchangeable tips so you can knit in the round using fat needles for things like sleeves. Current project: a pastel 80s inspired jumper.

I made some pink fuzzy fingerless gloves using a strand of sock yarn and two strands of fluffy alpaca all held together. Three strands together is a record for me. So warm. 

I hate doing sock heels am making some simple turquoise tube socks which dont have a heel they are just a tube. Good for bedsocks and around the house.
