WaterAid


I thought I would post my contributions to knit a river, partly prompted by the rain and a letter I received today from WaterAid to follow up on the postcard campaign that I filled in recently. Last week water aid handed over 21,000 of the campaign postcards to the Commissioner for Development calling for a radical change to the structure of EU Water Initiative. Right on!
Pictured above...
No.1 is simple garter in Dk - No.2 is two different 4ply yarns knit together in garter alternating with an elongated stitch to show off the yarn combination. I spotted a cable stitch contribution by Puddock and will attempt my first cable for knit a river after my hols.

Great job on those. I really love No.2
I must get more creative now instead of just simple garter and stockinette swatches.
Love your elf name.

The elongated stitch is really easy - I picked it up from the knitting help video. I will attempt a more ambitious version for a scarf I plan to make out of Wendy Melody.

of course...

I have two bits waiting for me to send. I was thinking I'd knit another one or two so they've been waiting but I don't really have any more blue yarn so probably not
