WOYWW Spring knitting Down Under

It is not Autumn here, or even Fall. It is Spring. And fast heading towards Summer, but there's still time for some knitting, right? Recently, I came across a lovely blog hosting a knitting get together called Yarn Along. Of course the main purpose of posting on Wednesday is to meet up with all the WOYWWers and their desks. And you can do this via Julia at The Stamping Ground.  And last week I met with (for the first time), a group of ladies at my local library for their fortnightly knitting group. I'll probably go again, and who knows, this may be the incentive I need to work my way through an unseemly amount of wool. So hence, my preoccupation with knitting this week.

At the moment I am having another attempt at a snug fitting neck warmer (suitable for snow cold). You can see the original attempt behind. Yes, it's pretty, but useless for it's intended purpose. I won't pull it apart, at the moment, but may very well later. (Although I'm thinking about felting it. We'll see.)  I kept the pattern simple on this attempt and I think it is going to fit properly this time.

I can't tell you much about the novel. I have only just started it. I think it will be good.
And I really, really, really want to knit socks. Soon.
