Knitting This Week
5:00 AM
It's Wednesday again and that means it is time for the weekly yarn along. I'm joining with Ginny and everyone to share yarn and books. I have worked a little bit on a lot of projects. This project is a crochet project. It is a scrap yarn basketweave baby blanket for a cousin who is due in October. The pattern is really simple. Three strands of yarn (any size) and a size P crochet hook. Change colors when you run out of yarn. It uses A LOT of yarn. I'm hoping to use all of my baby yarn scraps.
I have worked on my Hitofude and my KAL Stitch Block Cowl (that I"m the only one still knitting in our group). I have also worked on another washcloth for a baby that is also coming in October. And while on a layover last week I worked on a square for a scrap yarn blanket. I always have yarn in my tote bag just in case.
I just finished Patterns in the Sand by Sally Goldenbaum. I really liked it. It's a knitting mystery series that takes place by Gloucester, Massachusetts. This book is actually the second in the series. I've broken my cardinal rule to read series books in order. What I really like about this book is that up until the end I had no idea whodunit. To me that makes it a good book. I had an idea whodunit, but I was wrong! If anyone wants to read it, let me know, I'll send it to you. It was a thrift store book but it's in good shape. I've just started reading Point Blank, so no opinion yet.

This is such a lovely and interesting pattern you have shared. I hope you're having a great day :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of doing a square blanket and may have to cast on one too, it would be perfect for traveling since you don't have to take along a huge blanket.
ReplyDeleteI will have to read Patterns in the Sand, I love a book where I can't guess the villain. I read In a dark, dark Wood and guessed the villain right away, it was a bummer.
I love the colors in your scrap blanket. Combining three yarns makes for a very interesting effect.
ReplyDeletethat blanket will be so lovely!
ReplyDeletesounds like my kind of mystery....somehow, when I think I've figured out the murderer early on, i keep waiting for the big twist to prove me wrong, and then am SOOO disappointed if it doesn't happen. :) great take-along-projects. :)
ReplyDeletelike you I have lots of spare projects in my bag for just in case knitting. Love the square you whipped up!
ReplyDeleteI love your comments. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
