Babies! Lots of Babies!
Well, only two.
So I turned to my old standby Mary Lamb Baby Book Vol. 30 (twenty cents!) pattern 3006. I've done this pattern before a few times so I felt quite confident with it and it's going well. I'm about two/thirds of the way through the blanket in variegated wool: white, pale blue and pale green. I've got my next project lined up as well: 3013. It looks the easiest of two I thought would be quick knits. That one is in yellow because the nursery is yellow. I'm hoping to adapt 3027 to this pattern--should be simple, but these days I can never tell what's going to work for me and what isn't--as it's more of tuque style. Someday I'd like to be able to say I've knitted all the patterns in this book. It's one of my favorites. I think it was one of my grandmother's. That might be a goal for next year! I used to make baby blankets regularly and so had some in stock whenever a new little person arrived, but I haven't done that in years. Knitting sure is different for me these days. I love reading about all the beautiful things you all are making. I don't post a lot, but I lurk and always head straight for the new or finished project threads. Murielle |

Welcome out of Lurksville!
I always feel so inspired by what others are doing. It spurs me on to try a little harder, work on a project a little harder. Murielle "Linda Lee" wrote in message ... I'm a lurker here to.

I think I need to start keeping a craft-journal so I can keep track of what actually gets finished. It might keep me working on things, just to be able to see it completed in the journal. I know the group was talking about this last year some time and I thought it was such a great idea. Pot-holders! What a great idea! I've got a pattern for crochet one's somewhere. I know I saw it when I was going through my books and files to find the patterns for the baby blankets. I thought this year for the holidays I'd make little crochet angels or snowflakes: seasonal and simple; and I can work on them in waiting rooms, etc. Murielle |

I also have my first Girasole waiting to be blocked, and I have a couple sweaters that only need to be seamed together, but as I hate seaming these may be waiting a very long time...

I am not so keen on making pot holders but they make good presents i can use leftovers of all kinds , Ps i always knit/crochet/weave a piece and than sew it onto a cloth of sorts [ also a leftover ] ,this gives it a good thickness , and people tend to use the cloth side for the pot , !!!!! mirjam ps 2 , pot holders are great Swathces for trying out new patterns !!! |

The Other Kim kimmeratsoylentgreenfielddotcom Hi Kim! Wow, you're so industrious! What is a Girasole? Knitting a sweater a month! I can't even imagine that. What a sense of accomplishment you must have as you see them all lined up. Do you pick your own patterns or do they offer patterns--how does it work? I'm like you, the seaming and the weaving of loose ends is my least favorite part of knitting, though, I do love to see what I've been working on all finished and pretty. Did Liz go by a different name? My memory of the "old" ABSK days is waining. I do pop in from time to time and if I have something to say I post, otherwise I just lurk. Kind of like rcty. I think I'm getting old. ;-)) Murielle |
