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....
You got roses, too! Beautiful.

So pretty! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteOur moment this week comes from the Valentine Tea that my daughters and I attended this past Saturday along with my mom. There was Valentine crafting, delicious food (English tea style) and some singing at the end! The minute I saw this picture of my mom at the Valentine table I knew it was "the one"!

ReplyDeletegorgeous rose--or flowers I should say from the last couple posts!!! And I think I would sit like a wide-eyed girl waiting to hear about the knit and crochet show!! oogle oogle drooool....Glad you had such a wonderful time with your family too :).
ReplyDeleteand to answer your question about new book vs. new notebook and pen...I'd say they are an even tie :).
ps. I stalled on my sweater with all the packing, not to mention I snapped one of my needles in half while pushing the stitches down! aaagggh!!! It took me an hour to save it, but I did. I found one mistake that I think I can fix when I start decreasing, but I tell ya, I don't think I can handle any more snapping needles lol!!
xoxo
What a beautiful rose. Jacinta
