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....
Looks like my house! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteBooks, music and coffee...that's what special moments are about!

Coffee and books and twinkling lights. Ah! Have a quiet New Year. How is your son faring? My oldest had his wisdom teeth removed a few years ago. Once over the pain and swelling, it was smooth sailing...except he got sick of eating mashed potatoes, apple sauce, yogurts and smoothies. I did offer to make him some baby food, but it was a no-go!
ReplyDeleteLooks like my home too!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you & I have matching table tops this week! I don't have the heart to put away all the new goodies. Wishing you a lovely new years!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas things are so nice and contained. Maybe some day! LOL Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI have a big old coffee table in the living room, too! Wish mine looked like yours--there's a lot of living and loving displayed there!!!! (We pretty much didn't have much family around this holiday--what family was here, took all their stuff with them. I miss it!!!!)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! This is what our coffee table looks like most of the time, only usually it's a combo of toys, crayons, knitting and books!
