Last year we started a craft group at work. It meets once a week alternately on Wednesdays and Tuesdays (as two people work with us part time). There are 7 of us, but with holidays, committee meetings, meetings out of the office, forgetting to bring stuff, it is sometimes only 2 of us and rarely more than 3. This is a shame as it is much more fun when there is a little group of us.
I am knitting a bolero. I have a velvet bolero as my "patrtern" and am knitting rectangles and triangles to sew together. I am using mohair wool I got from a charity shop. It is two stranded - a green mohair and a black thread with pink and blue bits everynow and then. This is impossible to knit with and not knit twice into the same stitch by accident, so as I knit I am winding away the thread bit. This presumably was why the wool was given to the charity shop in the first place!
I had some wool from a charity sale in work ad by the time I finished knitting I was the same colour as the scarf!!! Your bolero, though hardwork sometimes by the sound of it!!, will be lovely when you finally finish it!!! good luck and have fun
