Whilst in New York for my birthday, we visited a store called Purl Soho. I've been following their blog for a good while and once I realised they had a store I was dying to go. I purchased the bag with the hot neon pink lettering (pictured below) and some yarn for Patrick's Mom, who I refreshed on how to knit over Christmas. I also bought a ball of hot pink yarn for me, as well as a blue and red merino yarn to make the Purl Bee Garter Gaiter pattern.
It took me a while to get this project started. I attempted it using the magic loop method but realised that wasn't going to work so had to buy more knitting needles. I could open a shop with the amount of needles I now have! It's a beautiful pattern and the yarn was $20 a ball, so there was no way I was going to mess this up. I got Theo to model the working progress, and I think he quite liked it.
I have yet to finish it. I have a habit of starting a project and moving onto another before finishing. Currently I have four projects on the go including this one, and a list as long as my arm of things I'd like to knit :)
