Of Mum's scarf, that is - I've really got stuck into it today, and it's not far off completion. I got Richard to take a photo of me working on it to go in my profile, but I haven't uploaded it from the camera yet. Watch this space!
Although working on large needles makes my arms quite tired - I can't seem to find a good way to rest my arms while I knit with them, unlike with my circular needles - I find the rhythm of working with them extraordinarily soothing. I think it's to do with the fact that they are wooden, and slide through my hands without being actually slippery. Most of my needles are of bamboo or various synthetic materials.
Maybe I need to get more wooden needles.....
I feel a Christmas present to myself coming on!

Hi Heather, Vicki again. Hope you finish all your Christmas projects on time.
When you get a minute I'd love details of your fractal pattern.
No rush, I'm past my eyes in unfinished things at the moment, but maybe when we meet up in January, could you jot down the system you worked to for me?
Yes! treat yourself to some lovely bamboo needles. I love mine. Better still were my Ivore casein needles. I had two sets, 8s and 10s. I say 'had' because one awful week I broke one kneedle of each set! I have no idea why, I don't knit tightly, but suddenly - snap!
Must rush, I'm in work this morning.
Lots of love,
Vicki
