KnitKits Sock Blockers

When did you start knitting? I've been knitting for ever and I've never stopped
What has been your favourite project? Definitely my 'coat of many colours' which I did before I came to Kangaroo. It was knitted in Log Cabin patchwork. I like it because I am really into the construction of the garments and the technical side of knitting.
Favourite yarn? Anything expensive - especially silk! I also like the Fleece Artist and Hand Maiden yarns - they are such beautiful colours and each skein is slightly different, which makes it interesting to knit with.
What have you just completed? I've just finished a shawl in Crystal Palace Mini Mochi (Strawberry and Lime). In fact, I ended up doing it twice as I didn't like the first pattern - I changed it to the Forest Canopy Shawl which I got from Ravelry. It has beads and has turned out really nicely. I did find the Mini Mochi a bit stick to work with though.
What is your current project? I'm knitting a Silken Smoke Ring using Rowan Pure Silk DK. It's a pattern I downloaded from the internet by Angela Ho and Flora Young - a sort of cowl.
Favourite needles? KnitPro for straights and Addi Turbos and Addi Lace needles for circulars.
Why do you knit? My kids think I'm obsessed, but if I didn't knit I think I'd go ever so slightly mad! I'm very determined despite my limited vision (I'm registered as partially sighted) and will tackle anything, however complicated. The only thing that limits me a bit are the very dark yarns, but otherwise the world is my oyster!

Mini Mochi
We have a very exciting delivery arriving this week with more shades of this gorgeous sock yarn. There are four new rainbow shades, Beach Scene (see above), Blueberry Pancakes, Lake Trail and Fireworks, plus six solid shades for the more conservative choice. Don't forget the FREE patterns that are available to download for all the Crystal Palace yarns. Mini Mochi will also knit to most standard 4 ply patterns and is too lovely to just use for socks!

Debbie Bliss magazine
Well done Amanda! she has managed to get out all the back orders for the new Debbie Bliss mag on her own today. We have also had a top up delivery of a few of the Amalfi and Ecobaby shades, but they are selling much faster than we can order them in......, plus a few more Mini Mochi shades.
