March 2019. Day 2

Early post today because I'm not sure I'll be able to get to the computer in the evening.

Here is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!

May the magic be with us all!

I have really been quite productive today - I've bought a new tablet and tried on lots of waterproof shoes and posted a parcel, and I've cast on and started off a new knitting project which has six colours all joined on at once. But what I have not done so far is written a single word...

I am quite pleased to get these things off my list!

Very cool! There are times when writing isn't always the best way to express yourself. It sounds like you had a great day!

This is true, but sadly I can't snippet any of these things, so I went off and wrote 100 words of next week's blog post (we will ignore the fact that I haven't written any of this week's yet).

The one there now is a later replacement - several places online had told me that, and so I was quite amused to discover when I actually got to the stone that the replacement itself was more than 200 years old

What shoes did you buy?
And I have no idea how you can work with six colors and keep them from tangling!

I don't either! By the time I'd got two rows in it was all a bit like a colourful spider's web :-)

I didn't buy any shoes in the end, but knowing that none of the things in either shop's sale were any use is kind of a step forward...

Six colours sounds like a lot of keeping track and stranding! I am currently being lazy and using self-patterning wool for a couple of projects!

It's intarsia in broad stripes, so the knitting itself isn't so bad, it's just keeping all the balls from winding round each other while they're waiting....
Pattern here (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rainbow-waves).

I do love knitting things that make their own patterns as they go, though :-)
