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....
Is the cover off the pool? It looks like Frodo is ready!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Karen.
Ahh! Frodo and son...your son that is. I hope you are enjoying the visit! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask if that was a pool area or an airing out of camping stuff. I think the pool? Love the striped socks outside...
ReplyDeleteDogs and swings. We tried to get our small dog in the swing with us once. Didn't go so well. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying a little time together... so nice! Thanks for sharing this moment. I hope you have a fun weekend!
