Grab a cup of tea ...
It's been a fortnight and quite a bit has been happening. There's been a trip up north to see the relatives - above; we went to Loch Ruthven to see the Slavonian Grebes . You'll just have to trust me that they were there, we don't have the equipment to photograph them as well as Springwatch can. (If you select the 3rd video down on the Springwatch page "A Farewell to Speyside" you can see them near the end of the video) We also took my sister, who managed to spot an Osprey on her 1st time! I think she was unimpresed with the whole birdwatching malarky though ... oh well. Then we went to Boat of Garten, a regular stop on the way back to Glasgow. The boy took this shot using the telescopes at the hide - you can just see one of the Osprey chicks if you look carefully. One day we'll get there a daybreak to try and catch a Capercaillie. Anyway, enough birdwatching - onto knitting! I finally stopped procrastinating, and blocked the button band. Finding the butt...
Hiya, love your scarf, that's the yarn from Uruguay or something, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOkay, as for your sock, would you like the fit better if you pulled the heel gusset down at the back till it touches the floor, then see if you need to unwind a couple of inches at the toe and redo the toe decreases sooner?
I know it would involve a wee bit of frogging, but only so far, and it might make you enjoy the fit better and feel more up to tackling the second sock. x K
