I finished my first ever knitted thing, this ribbed scarf:
I
made it for Ben (the husband-to-be) and the pattern gave me loads of practice
doing the knit and purl stitches. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out for
a first attempt, although it took me about six weeks to finish. It was done
just in time for his 30th birthday and he drunkenly told all of his friends he saw that night that I'd made it for him. We went to a seafood restaurant
for his birthday since it’s somewhere neither of us had been before. We played
it safe and had fish and chips to eat but both tried something new for our
starters. I had whitebait which were very nice but I had to ask whether I was
supposed to eat the heads or not, and on the whole I’m not sure I’m comfortable
with my food having faces!
Another very exciting thing happened today... I chose my
wedding dress. Obviously I can’t post photos since it’s Top Secret from Ben
until our wedding day. I’m going to have to choose a shawl pattern to go with
it now so that I can get knitting. I’ve now got a set of metal knitting needles
in every size I could possibly want, sent to me by my grandma, so I can make
lots of lovely things.
