I have completely missed out on World Wide Knitting in Public day ! I didn't even realised it until today. I guess i have missed the fun.
But i can still knit on the tram, can't i?
Back to projects, I am knitting Baltic Socks by Clementine's Shoes. It has an uncanny resemblance of Ebossed leaves socks of Interweave knits. As for Pomatomus, i am giving it a rest. There were just too many holes forming whenever i did the yo, k2tog tbl. I was sure i did it right. But after several rounds later, it just didn't make sense. It is a very beautiful intricate pattern. I feel really bad for not able to 'follow' instructions. So Baltic socks are a great pick me up after having my knitting ego crushed. It has the same complexity but this baby does not bite. ( It chews!)
The World Cup is a great way to get my socks going. After a marathon of 3 matches, i have completed almost half of the first sock. With my eyes darting from pattern to my knitting and back to the tv, I have cheated my way out of multitasking and also motivating myself to knit as fast as i can ( Eg. Finish the 10 row repeat* pattern by half time/ or 2 repeats by full 90 mins)
It is a fantastic way to entertain myself when the match gets boring. So, i am doing it again tonight.
Pictures of Baltic Socks will be up when the sun is out ! I realise that flashes do not do the yarns any justice.
By the way, I can't find any more copies of Rebecca no. 27 for my Apricot jacket. I am so depressed now. To all knitters out there, if you happen to own the pattern, i would love to buy it from you, even the photocopied version of the pattern.
Please contact me....:(

The Baltic socks are just as beautiful as the Pomatomus. So don't feel bad about it.
The baltic socks are pretty, and you're right, reminds me of embossed leaves. Good luck finding the jacket pattern.
I have to say that knitting & TV are perfect companions! ;)
