ANOTHER BLOCK!

 I really enjoyed working on the cables-what was nice was that the return row was just purl back which was just the rest I needed! lol  I changed the cable-crossing a bit from the pattern so that it looked a bit more like lattice.  A very good knit!  

KNITTING AND STITCHING

I finished the caramel colored block and started the third block of the  sampler blanket.  I had a little trouble telling my front from the back but after a nap, I had that figured out!  I will be taking it for waiting room knitting today when I wait for an eye appointment!  Sometimes I get right in and others....well, let's say I am always glad to have some knitting with me!

When I get home, I will be heading in to our Quilting Group--I haven't been to a meeting in a long time and will look forward to see what everyone is working on!  I began stitching this one together;  it is very slow.  I can't remember how I stitched the last one-whether it is easier to sew from the bottom up  or not.  I think it will get easier on the third row because it will be established.  That's my hope, anyway!  At group, I will be working on the star blocks because it won't be so demanding to work on!

 

FOR PLEASURE

I cast on for Block #1 from this book. 

I have been enjoying making one large block for each of the Tunisian Crochet patterns so I wanted to do something similar in knitting.  I am going to work my way through the book just for the pleasure of it!  The first chapter is called Knits and Purls and again, I thought this pattern would work for a dishcloth because it is reversible!   The yarn is soft, the 8 row repeat easy to remember and the size of the work comfortable to hold after hauling the Casablanca afghan around on my lap 

which adds up to a relaxing few hours! 

 I hope to finish the block today!

 Look at the texture! 

 I am using DK weight yarn and #7 needles.
