{Yarn Along}



I so enjoyed knitting up a Pickles Plain vest for Seraphina I made one for Nola too and have already cast on another for Matilda by enlarging the pattern. It is a lovely quick, satisfying knit with a lovely garter stitched yoke. Perfect for those breezier Autumn days.
The pattern was simple. I was only flummoxed once when trying to work out what kind of technique I should use for making the sleeve stitches. In the end I was able to figure it out pretty quickly.

I'm currently reading Kaleidoscope City - a Year in Varanasi by Piers Moor Ede.
I have only just started it but his descriptions of  the city have already immersed me in the sights, sounds and smells of this extraordinary place.
