Taking Time Out

Hi everyone,

Just a short note to let you know that I'm taking some time out from the blog to work on some new ideas.  I know it has been a while since the last update so I'm working on new designs.

I've also just found a new tool to use which is a lucet tool.  This works in a similar way to the french knitters except this one only has two pegs (prongs) instead of four.

It is great for making i-cords as it does them quickly.  I've used the resulting cord to make a chunky scarf and also a coffee cup cozy for when you buy a takeaway cup of coffee and it is too hot to hold.

Time to get back to the thinking and designing and working out what patterns I'd like to make.

Thank you for reading and catch you all again soon.
