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. Dennis |

At the present, I am knitting for myself. There is a picture of the project here in the upper left corner of the page. http://www.knitrowan.com/whats-on/gallery.aspx Using size 2 needles and Rowan Cashcotton, so progress is slow. DA |

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! -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK http://claremont.islandblogging.co.uk- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Hi Dennis, I never stop crocheting, in the summer I just make smaller afghans. Done 34 so far this year. Hugs, Nora |

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! 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. |
