Knitting News
Good morning! How are you and how is your crafting coming along? I continue to work feverishly on the christening blanket and am now mulling over how to finish it off without doing all of the remaining charts. I do not have much yarn left with the second skein. I do have a third optional color (similar to the first one) but I'm not sure if I want that and most of all I don't know if 500 yards will give me an additional inch of pattern based on how many inches I obtained with the second skein. If I could get the blanket to be 36 inches wide and long (it's a square!) I feel that would be enough of a blanket. So my wonderings are: how many add inches in blocking will I get? Definitely one inch per quadrant but would I get two inches? Three inches might be right out! Also, how do I finish it off? I am going to flip through some of my other knitting books for some ideas. Overall, I have loved knitting this and I'm excited to get it off the needles and give it a blocking....
Someone needs to play with Frodo! :)
ReplyDeleteHey, are you ready for Irene? Stay safe
this weekend.
PS- Drooling over the yarn in your header!xx
If only Cardamon and Frodo could meet, I think they would be instant friends! Have a gorgeous weekend. Jacinta
ReplyDeleteWhat a face! So cute. I do have to admit that when I first saw your avatar photo (I think that's what it's called) - the one on the top right of your blog - I kept thinking it was a picture of a fisherman with a full beard & a woolen cap. I know...bad eyes. Love the new header btw.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie!
