Take Along Knitting

 

It turns out that the cardigan I was asked to knit is a good take along knitting project. It's very easy, consisting of oblongs of garter stitch, and is knitted on big needles. The yarn was a bit thin for the needles, so to get the correct gauge I combined it with a 3 ply grey yarn that was also in the stash. I've done the back and two fronts, I have the sleeves to knit and then the selvages to do.  That may be a stay at home job. 

I'm in a bit of a whirl at the moment though. The jewelry lady wants 50 bags this month instead of the usual 30, in anticipation of Christmas sales. Someone has ordered 8 puppets. I have them in stock, but will need to replace them before the market on the 7th December. And someone else wants 5kgs of spun wool. I said I'd give it a go, but I'm struggling to find the time to spin. It doesn't help that this is the time of the year for Christmas lunches, pantomimes, et cetera!
