I finally finished T's scarf! Yay!! Now that it's getting warmer, however. I hope she doesn't mind saving it until next winter.
My two major projects right now are my afghan and my Mom's prayershawl (which I broke down and told her I was making it for her-she said it made her feel loved! :) )
I'm used to the pattern for the afghan, now-I don't have it memorized 100%, but I can work on a row without double checking the instructions every 4 or 5 stitches. However, since the afghan is being made in one big piece, instead of several different panels-each row takes forever to knit. I think I get one or two-sometimes 3 rows done before I have to set my needles down and give my hands a rest.
My mom's prayershawl is a different story-sometimes I can only knit one row-maybe two, if the first row hasn't frustrated me to the point of dropping my needles on the ground. I was able to make a swatch of the snowflake pattern without any trouble-but I went from 24 stitches per row to 125 stitches-and sometimes even the slightest distraction will make me loose my place in the pattern. I"m constantly counting my stitches to make sure I can knit the next row without a problem. *sigh* I'm determined to finish it though-it just may take a while.
Speaking of the prayershawl-Peresph and I attended our second crochet club meeting a couple of weeks ago. This time it was held at Yarn Knits by Sue over on the West Side. They had some balls of the yarn I'm using for the prayershawl, so I picked up a couple more (I was afraid I might not have enough) Well, I know I took a chance-as soon as I got home I checked the dye lot-and it was the same as the yarn I bought over a year ago from a catalog! Talk about luck! ;) While we were there I also picked up a couple of balls of Sisik by Dale of Norway. Oooh, wool and mohair...I'm thinking of making a couple of hats with it. :)
Now, the question of the day: Will Ro ever post pics again? Time will tell! LOL.
(I have every intention to-reallly I do...) ;)
