I currently have only two things on my needles.
AND
I put the two ends together, so you can see where I’m headed with this one. I should have made border scarves a LONG time ago! It’s soo simple, yet, so striking! I will put some sort of star motif in the middle, but it’s mindless enough that I don’t have to really think about anything.
I started the Helm’s Deep scarf, because the yarn wanted to be used, and I wasn’t going to be able to get back to the hat any time soon (stranded colorwork requires thought). Plus- I had a baby shower to attend after my knitting class this past Saturday, and needed something to occupy my hands.
So what happened to the hat, you ask? I frogged it. (It’s okay!!!)
And if you’ll remember- the hat was a part of a hat/scarf/fingerless mittens SET, so I’m just doing the longest project of the set first. Plus- I kept thinking that fabulous corrogated ribbing should be longer. So I would have had to at least frog back to the ribbing part of it, ANYWAY.
Also, a by-product of knitting at a baby shower is that someone will inevitably volunteer you to make something for the baby. So guess what happened?
That’s right! Someone volunteered me to make a baby blanket.
I may do a generic blanket, but I kind of want to do alphabet blocks. I’m still in thought, but here’s my first pass at a rough color design:
TXT is the baby’s initials.
Your lace scarf has not grown much. Ah lace! The beautiful tedium of it.
I’m feeling like I want to start a WIP post. Would you mind? I’ll ping back to you!
No it hasn’t. 24 row repeat, and you have to pay attention the whole time. No fun. But it will eventually get done.
And go right ahead! I love seeing what’s on people’s needles. 🙂
I LOVE that orange. Have I already said that? Well, I do.
It’s brighter than it looks in pictures. I think my phone turned down the brightness because it loves my readers and doesn’t want to blind them. 🙂
