Mid-June Update

Sorry for the lack of knitting over the last few weeks. I don't have anything to show you today, but does it help that I have 3 FO's blocking and one OTN which is almost finished? Should have some photos and reports for you very soon. Watch this space...

In the meantime, I leave you with Summer raspberries.

Weekend Progress

Curlicue's finally finished:

I really enjoyed it, and as my first experience of lace, it wasn't too difficult. However, it took a long time to knit up and I'm definitely having a break from lace for now! Here it is being blocked. It looks a bit wonky, but take it from me, that's just the camera angle. The colour is pure oatmeal:

As soon as I'd got that blocked, I whipped up a Ripples Beret in navy-blue (my own design) for my friend Jo. It also looks much better on that off!:

And I got started on a bear (from Lovable Toys in Last Minute Hand-knitted Gifts) to match the blanket, both of which are potentially for a friend of my friend Alex, but if she doesn't like it, I'll make her a different blanket.

I'll leave you with some Spring daffodils:
