Today was the day for sewing the charity blankets. Tracy, Erin and Jayme came over for coffee & sewing on my living room floor. Below are the photos of the first finished blanket. Unfortunately I didn’t think of actually taking pictures of us all hunched over while sewing them together.
We had enough squares for one blanket & only 4 short for the second blanket. So tonight or tomorrow I will get the others done so that we have enough to complete the second blanket. Anyone else for a sewing circle??? Coffee & snacks on me!! Any takers let me know. I am hoping maybe Monday morning, the 20th? Great…
On other knitting fronts, last night at Good Cup was fun…Laura was finally there! Woohoo for Laura! She was making the cutest little fish that I have ever seen! Of course I have no picture. Someday I may actually think to take pictures of what I may post about. Duh!
I have one bag for a teacher almost done, I only need to make the handle and then felt it. I am thinking I will just make it an open tote bag. I wanted to do a messenger bag but I think I will like it better once it is felted, the size of the bag that is, without the flap. So that is that. I will get that done tonight & get the other bag started. Hopefully I won’t fall asleep while knitting. That has been happening a bit lately. I think I may be fighting off that cold that has knocked out two thirds of Santa Barbara County.
I am excited about the charity blankets….I am thinking that a 30″x30″ square blanket isn’t so difficult to make so maybe I will just make one here & there, in between projects. Also caps for the babes. My daughter, Sadie, has been so into crocheting but frustrated because she isn’t actually finishing her first project (she wanted to make a round rug for her cousin Allie’s room). Tiny baby caps are perfect little projects to make yourself feel accomplished! I think that is a great idea! Pat myself on the back for that one, crochet & charity all in one lesson! Good girl!
