It is so nice to wake up and see this guy each morning! This is a pipe Bill drove in the ground ages ago to hold up a hanging pot and this guy (or one of his predecesors!) moved right in!
I bought this book for Mom a while ago and had fun looking through it with her on the visit; I like it so much, I bought one for myself! I think it is a great springboard for sample blocks, one large afghan or for making dishcloths! I bought it on Amazon. The yarn recommended in the book is Cascade 220 Merino Superwash which is a DK yarn. I am going to use the new yarn I bought for the crochet afghan but I am going to use it for this instead!
Simply because I want to!
And this pair of socks.....I ripped out what I had done because it just didn't fit well. The cable made it draw in uncomfortably and the length just eluded me. I am now knitting it as a vanilla sock and I did the math again for the sock cheat sheet--I can't find the one I have used for years anywhere! I didn't hesitate to rip out; that sock has given me fits and now I have purged myself of the irritation! lol
Nothing like a good rip out. It seems like yesterday was rip out day around here for sewing projects. Nothing was behaving. I'll have to start fresh today.
ReplyDeletePurging irritations is ALWAYS a good idea!
ReplyDeleteFrogging is one of the benefits of knitting!
ReplyDeleteSometimes we just need to give up on a project and forge a new path. Much easier with knitting than sewing. LOL!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't enjoy ripping out something I've spent time knitting, it's better than never being able to use the finished project.
ReplyDeleteI like the looks of that book. I think it would be fun to check out all of those blocks. I'm glad we're both home and ready to begin fall, aren't you?
Blessings,
Betsy
What a cute little visitor. I wish we had lizards here.
