Still haven’t touched Summer Solstice. I blame the humidity. It puts you off handling larger projects. And wool. Instead I’ve been getting a bit more sock knitting done. One sock and one toe done. I love this yarn:

Once I worked out that I really didn’t want to be tackling big projects, I turned to my not-insubstantial queue of small ones and started this:

Which quickly became this:

The pattern is Bamboozled and the yarn is a test ball of Crystal Palace Cotton Twirl I bought a while back in the hopes it would be a good yarn for knitting Tubey. So far I’m thinking that it might be. The yarn is nice and springy and doesn’t feel at all ropey. It comes in a proper black black as well as a range of jewel hues.

Ah, Tubey. I see the pattern is dated 2005. I knew I’d been searching for a good stretchy yarn that isn’t wool for this one for a long time, but I hadn’t realised it was THAT long. Still, if I still want to knit it after all this time I must really like it.
