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....
Beautiful photograph. I love the way it looks so calm and yet I want to come running in to jump in those leaves!

Great photo! Looks like it was a beautiful fall day :) I'm glad you got to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love all the autumn moments today! I believe we will be raking this weekend. After the wind storm we had last night, I would say we should have a pretty big pile :)
