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!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful weekend :)
So beautiful! I tried commenting on yesterday's post but through my phone since I wasn't at a computer all day. The phone doesn't like commenting on blogs though. I love your table! We have a few pieces of furniture that I don't think I'll ever be able to get rid of for the same reasons. Once memories become attached the piece of furniture is a part of the family!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty Karen. I am enjoying seeing all the butterflies here too. Have fun this weekend.

Beautiful shot. The amount of times I've tried to photo a butterfly and failed miserably. Have a great weekend xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely picture, Karen! My oldest loves butterflies...will have to show her this one :)

ReplyDeleteI spent most of a day earlier in the week trying to photograph butterflies, and as you can see there are no butterfly photos on my blog. Beautiful!
ReplyDeletewonder-full. have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteDifficult moment to catch!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image...love the detail.
ReplyDeleteExquisite. I wonder what the butterfly would be thinking if she knew that her photo had been taken and people were looking at her in admiration? All love, Katie xxx
