Finish, going round the bend

All the colour stitching is finished

I love the texture

 They are so neat

 How they will look on my bag.

 It was wet again this week so out came the needles

I loves these shapers, they are so smooth 

 I'm really pleased with the heal, it's my first time

Well it fits

In the end I loved the French knots in the three berries, the colours just zing out, and the raised texture is perfect. On Sunday I will get my sewing machine out, I have three bags to make.
Wednesday/Thursday, I was home all day, it was wet, so I got out the needles to do the heal of my 1st sock, because I have knowledge and experience of knitting, I found the process easy to follow. I did struggle again with the 4 double ended needles, they slipped everywhere, I do knit loose, so dropped stitches all over the place, I will get a small circular needle, because I am going to knit more. I am not happy with the leg section, I think I would prefer a longer rib or another design to hold it tighter. I am going to finish this sock, but I won't make it into a pair, once I have done the whole design and understand the workings, I can then adjust my next attempt, so I have a pair of socks I am happy with. I got the yarn below at half price, last weekend when back home in Somerset and I will use it for my next attempt.

Chelsea Flower show was brilliant, I love watching it each year, so full of inspiration and ideas, but it's a lot of hours for a non watching TV person. Having said that, the last episode of The Split was also brillant, can't wait for it to come back. 

We are now looking forward to another weekend together, with a promise of less rain and more sun.
