Yeah, it’s been forever. Be kind to me, it was just my birthday.

Frogged Projects:

My First Socks – frogged not because I don’t like the pattern but because I’m not someone God intended to knit socks. The needles are tiny, the yarn even more so. I’m going to try knitting socks again using DK or worsted weight yarn and see how that goes but I’m giving up my size 1 Addi Turbos and set of Susan Bates sock DPNs (anyone want either??).

Circular Baby Blanket – When you knit this, you’re knitting to gradually increase the circumference. Your needle has to be as large as the circumference of the blanket. Far as I know, circular needles only get as long as 47″ which gives you a blanket with a radius of not very much. I did a bind off as is and it’ll become a dish cloth or something. Not sure what I’m going to do with the extra yarn (about 150 yards) but I’ll think of something. Maybe more (this time, square shaped) dishcloths.

Pink Baby Blanket – Just couldn’t find a pattern that worked. Decided it was best to just put it aside for awhile. May wind up using it to make the baby kimono from Mason-Dixon (once I get the book back from the library).

WIPs with no updates:

Evening Bag – Ribbon yarn still drives me crazy plus I’m so used to doing long rows the 25 stitches seem so odd. Feel like I’m turning my work every five minutes. I really want to finish this but I think it’ll require a long car/airplane trip and me not taking a really fun project with me.

Ball Band Dishcloths – Really need to work on these for Matt. These also suffer from having short rows in them (rows of short length, not formal short rows). Will work on these during car/plane trips. Specifically our trip to Yosemite in a few weeks.

WIPs with progress, new yarn, and book purchases will be another entry. I get McDonald’s for breakfast and need to actually get dressed before doing that.
