January Challenges

Have decided to challenge my self each month in a knitting project.

In January it was "Judy's Magic Cast on"

The projects is Vestpa by Samantha Roshak. I use Tapestry in grey tones that I stashed 4-5 years ago......

Magic cast on is truly magical, so magical that I couldn't believe how easy it was - I looked up 3-4 instructional videos to make sure I did it right - it just seemed so simple! and it is! Really looking forward to try and knit socks toe - up - maybe a later challenge to my self??? :-)

Here is the instruction that was actually the one I started with and explained so simple. Go for it - try :-)

And it looks like this:

Another great thing in January - I discovered Handknitting by Slavi. A Danish on-line yarn store that has ALL my favorite yarns - without me having to fly to the States or pay 3 times the price in customs - I can get it right here..... Cascade 220, Malabrigo, Heaven's Hand, Misti Alpaca Handpaint sock yarn....... Have already ordered first batch - just waiting for the post man!

Better make them needles burn - have so many projects lined up - so many delightful challenges :-)
