It’s overcast & rain is looming, again! I don’t want to do housework or cleaning of any kind. The kids are finally back at school & it’s quiet….sssshhhhh……
See? Isn’t that nice? Coffee is good, knitting is not so bad.
I am about 3″ away from being finished with the back of Jefferson. Then I will cast on the sleeves & work both at once. I like doing that with any cabled or lace sleeves. I like my increases to match row for row.
The new Knitty came out today. I am not so thrilled. Only pattern that got printed was the nauties. The boys will love to play with them all through the summer! I would like to make them water friendly but I am not sure what I should use for stuffing that would dry quickly. Huh, that’s a question!
I also worked on the homespun granny square blanket a little bit last night.
It’s now 45″ across.
This is a project that will use most of the homespun in my stash (plus 4 balls that I bought this last week on sale at Michaels). It’s not a gorgeous piece of work, well I think it’s fantastic, but it’s going to be so useful! I love homespun for blankets! Yummy soft. Who knows how big it will be at the end! It already takes me over 20 minutes to do one round!
I also went through all my stash yarn & have a crapload to take Thursday to the swap/sale at Java Station knitting. Most will be free but there will be a few that I ask some $$ for. Not much mind you. I didn’t spend that much on them. Most I have made something with and it’s what is left over that will be free. It’s George’s birthday on Thursday so I won’t be there for the whole night but we’ll pop in at some point to see what’s swappin’.
