The blanket is progressing wonderfully except for the feline foundation weighing it down!
(No, I am not stabbed with the crochet hook;
I merely set it in the blanket so I could take the selfie! lol
Look what is finished! T
The vest was such a garter stitch pleasure to knit-
side to side so the shaping was very easy and with the help of stitch markers,
very easy to replicate the shaping on the second half!
(Worsted weight yarn on #8 needles.)
And it is done before the birthday next week!
(I do need to pick up some buttons, though!)
Speaking of birthdays, I worked on these Wool-Free Socks on the machine-
one sock done on one day and another on the second --and voila,
I would buy the yarn again--it is soft.
The only thing I wonder about is how well they will keep their shape.
Sometimes, yarn lacking wool get baggy.
And I leave you with these flowers-
angel trumpets are doing their thing.
And so are the tiger lilies!
(these are the seeds I brought back from NY from my parents' plants!)
Lena looks so comfy! I agree with Dee. It's her blanket now!
ReplyDeleteThe vest looks fabulous and so do the socks
The only non-wool socks I've had luck with are cotton/elastic ones. I can't remember what the yarn was. It was horrible to knit with so I gave it to mom to put through her sock machine. They are great socks now!
All of your projects look fabulous, I especially like the socks.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow....that vest!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust look at sweet Lena. What a sweetheart who obviously loves that blanket. That vest is wonderful. Did you tell us the pattern and I forget? And those socks are wonderful and happy.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday week!
Blessings,
Betsy
Love the vest! love the flowers!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome vest! I've never tried knitting anything side to side. Was that difficult? Your other projects are nice, too. Looks like Miss Kitty has claimed one though.
ReplyDeleteThe vest is amazing, love the stripes and the socks are just perfect.
