Dear Laura:
Well, I think I'm getting organized enough for a post. I haven't been slow to post because of lack of material - just lack of a coherent brain!
First of all, I was amazed by the amount of knitting I got done while my computer was off for repair. I found out that I spend a lot of prime knitting time on the computer, browsing, reading blogs, playing games, etc. And that's not all bad - sometimes after a day of work, card games or sudoku "feel better" to my brain. Engages a different area than knitting, I guess. LOL - now that I'm watching baseball most nights (GO CARDS!!) I find that I can knit during the inning and still watch the game. Then during the commercials, I take a knitting break and play on the computer. You want to talk multi-tasking????
Anyway, since last I posted a finished object, I have finished the following items…
1. Wow, I see that I haven't posted a final picture of the blocked afghan with border....that was finished back on 9/19/06 - so here's a long overdue picture which includes the "bonus" felted fuzzy feet!
2. Blue striped socks that I started back in the spring. I finished the first sock and then whipped through the second sock.
3. Orange "loopy" scarf.
4. Purple/multi reversible hat for my Goddaughter Maggie.
5. A worsted-weight crimson "criss-cross" scarf for my niece Kelly's birthday.
6. Finishing work on Lydia's sweater.
7. A Lizard-Ridge block for Grandmother Purl.
8. A fingering-weight Koigu "criss-cross" scarf.
Plus I'm working on a pair of dark red Trekking socks. I've started the second sock, and cast on another reversible hat (sshhh, it's a gift) which is about 3/4 done. I'll finish that tonight, while hopefully watching the last game of the World Series.....Go Cards!!
Keep knitting!!

ReplyDeleteGreat new look!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! The more I stay away from my computer, the more knitting I get done. Why is that?
