baby blankets

I have made over half a dozen baby blankets this year already. I have
just heard about one more relative having another baby. So, two more
are on the way.

Is any one else knitting this summer?

Hope to here from a few on our sight.

There is always something on the needles here. Summer is when I do most of
my Christmas knitting.
At the present, I am knitting for myself. There is a picture of the project
here in the upper left corner of the page.

Using size 2 needles and Rowan Cashcotton, so progress is slow.

About twenty years ago my cousin knitted a christening shawl using very
thin needles and very, very fine wool from the sheep's neck. The
completed item is about 4 feet square and, according to Shetland
tradition, must be able to be drawn through a wedding ring. My cousin's
shawl passed this test but she says she won't ever do one again, neither
her eyesight, her concentration or her patience are up to it anymore!

Hi Dennis,

I never stop crocheting, in the summer I just make smaller afghans.
Done 34 so far this year.

Hugs,

Nora

A decade or so ago when I was on the Knit List that had a HUUUUGE
traffic, there was a lady who told a story about buying a fleece from a
baby lamb who either was stillborn or only lived a few days, and the
lady selling the fleece was very sad at the thought of selling the
fleece of that poor baby lamb (although this was her business -- she
raised sheep to sell their fleeces), and the lady who bought the fleece
spun it super-thin and made one of these types of shawls, and the next
time she was going to be in the vicinity of the fleece-seller, she took
the shawl she had made to show the lady so she could rejoice in the
marvel of beauty that had been created. That was the best true story I
ever heard on my few years on the list, and I was sorry that I didn't
keep a copy of it.

Thank Mirjam,

It is very pleasant.

I do a lot of fishing in the summer but I still knit and crochet.

was fun.
