100 fois sur le métier...

No pictures this time, I've missed the right daylight window to snap up the new yarn I bought in Nantes. I was away for a weekend of professional networking, which I am unused to, and it made me feel strangely afloat and vulnerable. Obviously the way to regain my footing and manage some semblance of control over my surroundings was to buy yarn! And needles - I needed big circs for some of the more bulky threads I'd bought recently, and I managed to acquire both 6mm and 7mm circulars. Too short, yet useful anyway.

I used them already, knitting a sort of shoulderette thing from the blue 100% wool I bought at Le Comptoir in October. It's inspired from the Noro Hat from Saartje de Bruijn (Ravelry link). I knitted two of those last year, one in Kureyon #165 for me and one in Iro for Mom, and I love the effect of the horizontal faux-rib so much, I used it for this shruglet-noname blue experiment. It stope right after covering my shoulders so far, and I think I'll go back to the shop for a second skein and lengthen it some.

I might even manage to take a picture of it, too! I'm wearing it right now, it's nice and warm.
