My creative space over the last few weeks has been mostly about the sticks. Especially sticks with points at both ends!
I'm finally beginning to make what feels like progress again on my Ishbel hat (this attempt has been a WIP since February!!), but I'm very slow to learn that trying to knit a lacy pattern after 9.30 at night is a recipe for disaster... Three rows forward, two rows back, argh! Moving from circs to dpns should help progress a bit I think. It was taking almost as long to move the next group of stitches into knitting position as it was to knit them!
If you'd like to see some genuinely productive creative spaces, head over to Kirsty's for a visit.

It's beautiful and I hear ya on the circs switch. A must, I forgot the dpns one day when I traveled to my moms with a project and only had the circs tried to do sleeves with them..NO GO...
Keep on keeping on.
It's a beautiful colour. I don't know what circs and dpns are, so it sounds impressive to me!
I'm a circs girl here, dpns only get used in a dire emergency. As for the lace after 9.30pm I'm so with you on that. Not enough continuous sleep occurs in this house to make lace anything happen very often.
Beautiful colour you've chosen too btw.
Well done on knitting lace. I dont think I could do it either after dinner! I hear you on the circs, not my favourite needles to knit with, much prefer the dpns anytime! Sometimes though I wish they were just a tad longer!
Really? I adore my circ's, although I must admit I've never knitted lace. I am knitting a scarf on cics at the moment I'm that obsessed.
Love the colour yarn.
I only use circulars now - cant even get gauge with straights (how sad is that:)
Love the colour and you have not choosen an easy lace pattern for your first.
Looking gorgeous, love Posie
Oh you're doing so well, don't get discouraged! What you've got there is QUALITY, not... quantity... yet. ;)
looks very very complicated- way out of my league. good for you for persevering! xo m.
As a knitter of TWO ishbel scarflet thingies (the second because the first was a DISASTER) I know where you are coming from. My rule became Never in The Presence of a Kid Under Five.
It looks fantastic... but I am a non-knitter so the very fact that you can hold sticks impresses me.
i am also i new knitter or at least it's been for ever!!! and i am running for the slow knitter award!!! keep going you'll love it when it's done xx
