I'm still knitting my weird version of sea coral. So far the pieces are quite small so I want to scale up and make some bigger versions. Can't find any patterns for coral or sea anemones online, knitted ones at least, there are lots of crochet forms, so I'm just coming up with my own.
Really lovely wool - those sumptuous Rowan silks and mohairs are so expensive, but luckily a lot of charity shops have odd balls of interesting colours and textures. I might also try some genteel begging at my next book group meeting and see if any donations can be found!
Apart from knitting, I've been doing my usual internet browsing, and have something weird to
recommend. If you go to www.tinyurl.com/mnharb you get the strangest thing. It's a mash-up of Nirvana 'Smells like teen spirit' and Rick Astley singing 'Never gonna give you up'. It's so funny. Bizarre but oddly compelling.
Finally ... yesterday I checked on a couple of yarn cozies I stuck up a week or two ago. (Losing track of time!!) One I'd attached to some railings has gone, so whether a council cleaner disposed of it or a knitting collector nabbed it I don't know. But the other cozy was still there, sitting proudly on top of a fence post. It looks really good with the rusty colour of the post and the greenery in the background. I'm so happy it's still in place!
