TDF day 5 catch up

 Day five was an 'at home' day, household chores and admin needed attention. I even put a few more rows on the scrap shawl.

I also had chance to glance at a book that I picked up at the guild at the weekend. Its instructions to knit a gansey but more importantly it also takes you through each step by knitting a sampler ie a miniature gansey. I may just have to have a go at this :-)


The six bobbins of ryeland are now plyed, another bobbin has also been spun.


and this may be as close as I have ever come to having the same amount of yarn on each bobbin.



Day six is just starting with me packing my backpack ready to head out to a couple of local museums one of which is only open two hours a week so fingers crossed.

I've got several gansey books and I've always meant to knit one but when I sit down to do the math it makes my head hurt.The construction looks so simple but those percentages do me in.
