font size

well today I was showing my blog to a friend. I had logged in through her computer.

To my surprise the font size was so small that it was verydifficult to read anything!!! :(

I was worried as the blog opens in my PC with a regular font size. So i wondered, may be this is
happening with others too..... ie the visitors are not able to read a word


all the visitors u r requested to let me know if you cant read any word

shopping

well went for shopping but not for shawl pins!!!!!

I bought some wool

its a new wool type called "chinar" form vardhman (of course) and the colors are also nice




also started "cobweb" by Emma Crew. Its one of the free patterns from mag knits
its a easy pattern and I wanted to make something which finishes fast :) and I felt its goona finish by next week started it yesterday and I have completed till the last increase. But I realized that somewhere I have made a mistake and there are more number of stitches than specified in the pattern. So I counted them and divided them by 8 (as the edging pattern is of 8 rows) and to my delight it was competely divisible by eight only that it will take me more time to finish the edging but its okay I feel.




the pic is not so good as the cobweb is on the needles. i think the real shawl will be better when blocked

my new shawl pins

i did some shopping lately, went out searching for shawl pins. and it was a difficult task as no one is aware of this here. so i bought hair (judda) pins and i now use it for my shawls.

everyone liked them. i am also happy as this leaves my hands free.









same pins in a different back ground look so different. i guess i am not much of a photographer

more of my shawl


so finally its blocked and i am dying to model in it.
it weighs about 600grams and is made from pure wool by Vardhaman ( a wool company which makes great wool and is a leader here in India). its a pity that getting pure wool is a little difficult as not every one keeps it in their stores / shops. Acrylic sells more as it is easy to manage.



This is gonna be great week end. i am now starting socks. i have found some easy patterns and will start with them so that i cn knit them fast and satisfy kids and the more complex ones will come next.

i am dying to make those lovely designs i have in my hard disc!!!

gotta wait a little bit i guess

my first circular shawl !!!



this is a photo before i started the blocking.

well finally its done, started on 15th August, and i didnt get time to touch it for a month in between. then i thought i have to use this shawl in this winter otherwise i will not be able to wear it till next winter which will be toooooo long a wait.
i still have to model it by wearing it, which i guess would be tomorrow as it will take time to dry.




this is what is the end result, after blocking!!!! i am so happy finally its done and blocked too!!! :)))

i am so happy, i would like to thank Sarah as the pattern is from her website and also KR members who have been an inspiration for me to gather courage to pick this project and finish it. i think its a new begining for me to work on new patterns asd projects...
