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....
Ah, my favourite spot in the world, a warm fire with a hot cuppa. Enjoy! The weather here is still cold enough for a woodfire, but we cheat and use the gas heaters mostly! Happy weekend. Jacinta x

Is it really cool enough for a fire? I'm very jealous. Fall is my very favorite time of the year, and we usually vacation in new england. This year we are in Sanibel and while the shelling is fine, the temps are HOT. Enjoy that wonderful fireplace!!!!! I wish I was sitting with you in front of it knitting!
