I have returned to the blanket for my newest grandchild that arrives in September. I must persevere on this blanket! There are so many yarns and projects calling my name, but this is my priority.
If I continue straight through until Aug 9th, it should be ready for the shower on the 11th. :)
There is frustration on the reading front. I checked out a stack at the library yesterday, so hopefully something will capture my interest.
What are you knitting and reading? Join Ginny at Yarn Along!
i know that reading frustration....especially when you just finish a great read!! hope something grabs you! love the cabled blanket...what an heirloom!!! the pattern reminds me just a bit of the leaves of grass i'm working on.
ReplyDeleteOh you so understand! I am going to check our LOG!
DeleteI must tell you that I started knitting when my sister was newly pregnant. I wanted to make my first niece/nephew something special. I started a blanket. As a new knitter, the challenge was formidable. When my niece turned five, I gave her a scarf which is all the further I got on her blanket. Fortunately I now am able to finish blankets and much more! Good luck on both the blanket and finding a good read.
ReplyDeleteI have done my share of blankets and I really love them, but I have done so many I am ready for a break!
DeleteBeautiful blanket! That will make a lovely gift. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletehow lovely! you can do more on blankets than I can at this point! Persevere!! :) I am having to prioritize my knitting too!
ReplyDeleteAll your knitting is lovely!
DeleteThe blanket is beautiful! Congratulations on a new Grandchild!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! How did yesterday go?
DeleteI love me some cables and that looks like it's going to be a beauty.
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on the reading front. I just finished an amazing book and have no idea what I want to read next.
The nice thing about this blanket is it is really not cables. Just the way the knits and pulls make it look so!
DeleteWhat a lovely blanket pattern, it looks really cosy already!
ReplyDeleteI hope so! Thank yo
DeleteThat blanket is going to be really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYour blanket looks lovely and warm. Sometimes I have several books here from the library and can't settle into one of them. Sometimes I think it's more to do with my frame of mind at the time, rather than the books! I hope you find something to spark your interest soon.
ReplyDeleteYou may be very right! Coming here on Wednesdays gives me ideas and inspiration!
DeleteOh! Your blanket is so pretty. You will finish it and it will be such a treasured keepsake! :)
ReplyDeleteI just finished The Glass Castle and it was wonderful! :)
