I have 3 new knitting patterns that are close enough to be finished but need some more testing: a headband, a cowl and a beanie hat . These all have a similar design that I love because the stitch gives them a great texture: it's a mix of moss stitch, cable knitting and twisted stitches, and I'm keeping the first test knits for myself.
I've also finished my summer top, which took me 3 weeks to knit: I found the pattern on Ravelry and I thought some of my latest purchased yarn would be ideal for it: the yarn is called Linello from Lang yarns and I bought it on my last trip to France last February. I bought 4 balls and only used a little over 2: what will I knit with the other 1.5? I'm thinking a nice lacy knitted summer scarf 😍.
Apart from knitting, because I work in an office sitting down all day, (and then some more when I knit or crochet in the evenings), I decided to get into the habit of walking at least 2-3 times a week, weather allowing. I have actually decided to participate in a charity walk in Aid of the Irish Cancer Society, : it's the Tochar Phadraig Walk, a 35 km walk that takes place on April 30th in the beautiful county of Mayo and anyone who would like to help me raise funds is welcome to donate here.
