I completed this lovely green beauty before the beach, and then forgot to share it all with you! I loved how the scarf turned out. Simple, easy and a somewhat quick knit. Ravelry notes are here.
My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn . Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy . Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter. Than...
Good morning! How are you doing? How are your projects coming along this week? I have made steady progress on two projects. First up is the christening blanket , I am on the second chart out of five charts (some are repeated...). Yay! As you can see in the photo I found another lace weight yarn in my basket that I completely forgot that I had and I believe when I run out of my first yarn I can use this second skein of wool and it will look nice. I am hoping it will be the edging, but I won't know until I run out. Next up is the green baby blanket , I am over half way and it's very very exciting to know that. I keep working on this at night while watching tv shows. I will see you all on Monday morning, I am going to relax and enjoy some days off from my space here. So what are you working on this week?
Good morning! How are you doing? How are your projects coming along? I continue to work on the christening blanket and have moved up another needle length. I'm on the third chart (of five) and am doing the second repeat of the third chart. I then have to go back to the second chart and repeat that one another four times. I am focusing on yardage instead of chart completion because of the repeating charts and returning to charts I've finished. Each row now takes over 20 minutes! I am enjoying the knitting process and watching the patterns emerge. The grand baby is due at the end of September and I have high hopes that this will be done by then. What are you working on this week?
Great job! I love that you knit year round. Someday for me. So happy to find you on Instagram!
ReplyDeleteThat is really beautiful! Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of a zucchini or is that because I am having to eat them every ....single...day! ?

ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a scarf person, but I do really like that one!
ReplyDeleteooh lovely.
ReplyDeletemy favorite colors! Is it a difficult pattern? It looks like something a beginner could do. But then I am still on the purl stitch! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you know how to knit and how to purl then I think you might be able to do it!
DeleteWhen did you find time to whip up this beauty?
ReplyDeleteAwesome colours!
