Start blogging

Right, so. About me:

I'm always doing handicrafts of some sort. I knit, sew, and do embroidery of various sorts. This is my handicrafts blog, created in an effort to actually encourage myself to finish things.

At the moment on the needles:

Lacy Rib socks (easiest thing ever. Cast on Thursday, up to turning the heel on Sunday night.)
Endpaper mitts (I think the needles are too small for my deathgrip on the wool. One day I will learn to knit gauge swatches before I start.)
Haruha scarf. Must finish to send away.
Blanket for Mal (Get some more possum yarn. Trouble is, this is the most boring project ever)
Cardigan of Doom (thigh length cardigan in 5 ply. I don't know what I was thinking. Still, one sleeve, collar and bands to go)

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

This week I will: Finish one Lacy Rib sock and start the other.

I tend to knit only in winter as I can't stand my hands getting sweaty. Also, I will take photos of each project. And I will reward myself for a project by getting some new accessories.

On the list so far:
Lace blocking wires
Blocking mats
Sock blockers
