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....
I like the prespective. I hope you had a wonderful time :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
{sigh} always hard to say goodbye to great vacations...
ReplyDeleteOh my! Look at all that driftwood?!? It would take too much will power not to fill up my trunk with it all. The beach we frequent is very busy with the locals (very active community) that I hardly ever see a bit of driftwood I can take home. :( I have gotten lucky once or twice though ;0
