What I've Been Doing Lately

Hello again. Two blog posts in two day? I know, shocking!

I've been knitting and crocheting, of course, so I thought I would share a few of my latest projects.

Yesterday I finished up a wool hat using Lamb's Pride that I started about a week ago. It's a charity knit of course, as are most things I make!

It is called Turquoise Sideways HDC Hat, it is child sized and I am pretty happy with it.

I also made three scarves, sideways in double crochet with double stranded worsted and a size M/N crochet hook. Super fast, 4 to 5 rows and you're done! :) Two of these, along with a hat to match one of them and another hat I made ages and ages ago, are packed up and ready to go to the Reservation when I get the chance to mail the package. I found the recipient on the Okini List. I sent another hat I made, along with a little sweater Tiri outgrew and a new board book, a few weeks ago. :)

I've also made a few more things for Freddy. The most impressive is this:






Isn't it neat?? I did cables. :) :) It's called Owlie Sleep Sack for Freddy. This yarn came from Yarnology last July, before I knew what we were having, and the two skeins bought at 30% off were *just* enough to make the sleep sack. I literally has a golf-ball sized ball of yarn left, which had me a wee bit nervous for a while since I didn't want to run out before I finished.

I also made a slipped stitch hat, and when I finished it Tiri claimed it as hers. I am flattered. :)

Well, this is nowhere near all I've done lately but I think it's enough for now. It's nearly 5am and I'm getting hungry. The cat woke me up at about 3 by dousing me with a cup of milk I had by the bed that I didn't get finished last night. :( It was a heavy cup too, to get hit on the head with. Guess that'll teach me. *sigh*

  1. The hat is lovely. My daughter would have wanted it as well when she was that age. Isn't is flattering when they claim things they like?

    1. Yes it is! It's extra nice right now since last winter she would have nothing to do with hats. Her winter hat was one I made, it had ear flaps so she *couldn't* pull it off! :) The fact that she wants to wear one this year makes me very happy!

Nine Lines Washcloth

Hello again. How is everyone? It's going about the same here, Jerek's still in the same shape. I did have a nice weekend. It was the circuit assembly, which is a two day series of Bible talks that takes place every year, along with the District Convention (three days) and the Special Assembly Day (one day.) There were many upbuilding Bible-based talks, and it was good to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. As you can tell by the title of the post, though, the assembly isn't the main point of my writing to you this time. I made a washcloth last week. I used a stitch pattern that I learned last fall from a afghan block. It was called Plowed Rows, but I didn't think that name fit the washcloth. Instead I am calling it Nine Lines, because it has nine lines. (I know, ain't I creative? (-:) Here is the cloth. Not a great photo, but as good as I can do right now. And on to the pattern. I think this would be a great pattern to learn how to slip
