Just a quick update on what some of us have got on the go at the moment.
Casting on:
Sarah‘s overcome the demons of trying to cast on at KC and has made a good start on a cute little summer cardi.
On the needles:
True to form Jo T‘s started about 17 projects at once because she can’t decide what to do. Favourites so far are a cabled beret in lovely mossy green Rowan 100% wool and a triangular shawl in the yummy purpley 100% merino from the knit expo in Exeter.
Jo L snapped up a scrummy ball of Noro in ‘sludgy green’ (it’s beautiful really) and has started on a scarf as a present.
Bee‘s started what seems like the 100th little elephant, but in fact is only the 4th. They really are very cute though. Photos definitely needed.
Emmett‘s picked up the Christmas jumper again after a gap to concentrate on knitted animals. It’s going to be epic when it’s finished.
Casting off:
Sally‘s finally finished the brown cabled hat for her husband after many, many months of willing it to be finished. The pic here shows it almost done, but we’ve been assured it IS finished and Paul is thrilled with it… just in time for summer!
Ann‘s very happy with her finished jumper, very quick knitting indeed. Well done!

Nice to read an update
I wish I could join you, but it is a bit far from Oxford (and it’s getting worse in September, moving to the Netherlands…)
