I just looked back at my last post and I was startled to see that I have not posted anything new since last July! Life has been very busy and not left much time for playing unfortunately. There has been just too much going on to share with you here so I will try to go forward without bringing in the past.
My last post was about my newest blanket project. I bought extra yarn, I created six large squares knit in the round, and added the green border. I didn’t like the narrow border so frogged those and made it wider and there it sits. After trying out different ways of joining the squares with a panel knit in a lighter green, I just couldn’t find the right stitch. Frustration took over and I packed it away and haven’t touched it since. Such is the fate of projects that don’t cooperate! I still don’t have a clue what I want to do so this pretty blanket in the making will stay in time out a little longer.
I have been knitting socks! Some of these are hand knit and some machine and I am missing a couple of pair that were in the wash. I was only disappointed in one pair, the one with the purple, grey and orange. All of the other sock yarns washed and dried beautifully except that grey which shrunk and felted a bit making the sock just a tad too short in the foot. I plan to cut it and replace the grey with a different yarn to make it a nicer fit.
I have lots of other things on the go including another one hundred hats project. I am at seven and counting. I need to sort out my projects (and my thoughts) and am committed to posting more regularly. Until next time, happy crafting!
