October?? How did that happen? This year is really flying by. On the domestic front not a lot has got done but I have looked at lots and lots of sofas and then looked at 2 houses on Saturday. The first, a cheaper one, was not quite right for us and then the second one was right at the top of my budget. Well the search will continue.
This week I have only managed 12 squares for my blanket but I have knitted a hat. Yes, you did read that right, I knitted a hat. Super easy garter stitch on circular needles. garter stitch is all I can do but I really want to extend my knitting skills and make some clothes. I order some Amy Butler yarn and have knitted the choke for a cardigan over the weekend. All these crochet blankets are great but I think I am at getting quite close to the upper limits of how many a family of three could ever possibly need.
Here are my squares for this week:
This makes my total to 174 squares. I think I may need about 500 for the finished blanket, maybe more. Pop on over to Carole to take a look at some more one a day projects.
I can't choose between crochet and knitting either.. and why should we?
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to see your blanket with the little squares, and for the hat.. it's getting cold here, so that's a sensible knit, isn't it? :-)
Oh...more knitting! I just love to admire someone's knitting. And it is the season to knit a hat since it is getting colder. Great job on the extra squares.
ReplyDeleteI too cannot believe how fast this year has been going. It has just slipped by!

174 squares, it soon adds up doing a few a week. I love the colour of your new yarn, don't forget to show us your hat. Where are you thinking of moving to ? Thank you for the advice, the majority think I should carry on. Have a good week. Deb x
ReplyDeleteI love the colour of the cardigan. I seem to be getting more and more into pink the older I get.
ReplyDeleteYou'll soon have those squares done. Only another..... no, on second thoughts don't think of how many you have to do :)
Yes, knitting is perfectly for autumn too. I consider to knit too. My mother wants to have a bandeau to warm her ears. Your cardigan has a lovely colour. Greetings from Germany. Sabine.
ReplyDeleteI love that purple yarn - great colour. And I had to smile at your comment re there being a limit as to how many blankets a family can have!! Judy x
