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....
Oh my, a little salamander [?]! How did you ever see that? It's wonderful! Have a great weekend Karen.xx

What a cool shot.... too funny the little salamander swimming in the mushroom.
ReplyDeleteI love that shot! At first I thought it was just the fungi you had taken a picture of, but then saw the itty bitty lizard. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteUm, wow! That is quite a nature shot! Impressive! We had giant mushrooms, I even used one for a {this moment} not too long ago but ours certainly did not have a crawly swimming in it! lol!
ReplyDeleteOurs was a moment taken on a sick day; a sick day that I surprisingly felt grateful for...
