As usual with my holidays, I packed at least four projects and a selection of needles in the hope of coming across new techniques or patterns in the French magazines. Alas, did not get the selection right this year, and the magazines are no longer inspiring.
Finished the Country Bumpkin gloves with the diagonal wrist I wanted - but on 2.25mm needles and failed to twist the pattern to the opposite diagonal on the second glove.
Then used those needles on a Lakritz sock pattern which called for 2.5mm but 2.75mm might have been better.
Made a DK glove in Wrigglefingers anonymous pink on 3.25 for wrist, 3/75 for hand, which came out too big. Going to weigh remainder of ball at home to see if enough to make a proper pair on slightly smaller needles (not that I like knitting titchy glove fingers on four dpns......)
I did make progress on my net curtain, ran out of thread, got more in supermarket but it needs re-winding as I don't like using it from the outside of a cardboard tube. I did get onto the second ball of yarn for the Pink Dreams Poncho though.
