The Start of a New Knitting Blog.....

Hi!
I promised myself that when my college course was finished I would award myself a blog so that I could keep a diary of my knitting progress and projects. The college course has finished, work has been handed in and here I am writing the first entry into the Melody Yarns Knits blog.

I've got a lot to learn about blogging, but hopefully my blog friends Denver Jon of Colorado Knits and blueadt will be able to offer me friendly advice if I blog horribly wrongly! My typing is abysmal so the first thing I have to find is spell check I guess......

Stashing Along.....
I didn't do very well in the last Stashalong :-( but I'm putting it all down to the pressure of assignment deadlines. My knitting friend Liverbird on the Angel Yarns forum has suggested that we all start another Stashlong on 1st July for another three months and I've agreed to join in again. I haven't managed a yarn splurge from the previous one yet though, although the other day I did buy myself some Patons 100% cotton DK in navy to knit the Louisa Harding beach cardi and some Patons 100% cotton 4 ply in Redwood to knit Candy from Rowan mag 33. I'm doing the Candy cardi plain and without the intarsia bobbles - I don't 'do' colourwork!!

So I guess I have five days to spend, spend, spend!!
