The blanket is finally all in one piece and there is only the edging to pick up. I sewed it together with mattress stitch and am now picking up and knitting the border as instructed. I am just not used to following someone else’s instructions for doing stuff like this but have decided to do so because it is good practise.
I need to get it finished so that I can finish all the other unfinished projects in my stash, and so that I can knit all the yarn I have spun plus the yarn I have bought, and the yarn I have dyed; and spin all the fibre I have bought…
crocheted reverse treble motifs. A summer top? |
My knitting group are knitting things for the Christmas stall we are having. I meanwhile have a summer top to finish after this blanket…and I really want to finish my shawl. Am I really going to knit Chrismas presents AND do stuff for a fundraising stall??? Well I did do two squash flower book marks, only I can’t find one of them.
I spent half of the knitting group tonight eating crisps and cucumber as a kind of belated dinner and choosing library books – very handy this meeting in the library. I am so impressed with our young knitters – we have quite a few and tonight there were four in attendance, all knitting busily whilst I was eating, choosing books and definitely doing more nattering than knitting!
