I have gotten very little done this week in the way of yarny stuff or reading (zero on the reading). Between Grandma visiting, cleaning this house with Eddie and planning Livie’s birthday party, there has been little time for anything else so I have only been knitting in bed late at night.
Do you recall this yarn I got when I visited the Purl Soho?
I woke up two weeks ago with the idea of making the girls some spats to wear over their boots. I wanted a fun color and in keeping with my Stash Bashing resolution I pulled out this wonderful wool. It is so hard for me to use yarn that I really like. For some reason I always feel like I will regret using it?? Am I crazy or does this happen to anyone else?
I keep putting away this project and twice when I pulled it out of the bag, I ripped out a bunch of stitches. I guess thats what those little stopper things are for.
I feel I finally have the hang of ribbing and can tell if a stitch is a purl or a knit. I know that sounds retarded but I was having a hard time getting confused when working on ribbing. I think I will have these done by the weekend so I hope to have pictures of them on the girls for next week. I can’t decide on buttons that would look good running down the side of the spats so we will see. I will try to put up the pattern on Rav next week which means I still need to learn to write a knitting pattern instead of crochet lol.
I am joining in for Keep Calm Craft On with the most talented Nicole at Frontier Dreams and yarning along again with Ginny of Small Things and all the amazing women who play along every week. See you here tomorrow for the Stash Bash.
