castless and completion

Today has been a brilliant day. My cast was taken off my arm and wrist, though I still have to wear wrist guards for heavy work and have to attend physiotherapy, I am hoping it will allow me to get more work done and help the project more. So far today I have chain stitiched cotton string  and finished the first ball and have also started chain stitching second ball of cotton string using a 5.5mm crochet hook. though again its a tighter stitch to what I'm use to I think it will work well to have various lengths and widths available to work with.

Full length of scarf

 I continued knitting the scarf/ beard using Brown (Robin Double Knit) 100% Acrylic and 7.5mm knitting needles and keeping the 40 stitches width. I am happy to report I finished knitting it and followed by sewing in the ends to give a professional finish. The length works well and hopefully on Wednesday when I see Kate, she will approve it so I can start on the weaving.



10 x Robin Chunky (Triple Colour) using  a 5mm crochet hook.  This was a lovely wool to crochet with as it didn't fray and though went a little fluffy at times, didn't break off like other wools I've worked with. within the near future I may try working with the wool over a structured cone more and see if this changes the fluffy texture it can take on.

Tomorrow I have to travel back to Bouremouth and get back to class. I have a lot to run by Kate and have also got to start on the builders collars. Within the next week I plan to finish the braiding for the builders costumes and start to look at brick patterns as well as draw a few up and sample them.
