The Cassidy cardigan is now on hold. It looked ok but it wasn't want the yarn wanted to be. It wanted to be the February Lady Sweater. That's what it's going to be. The only problem is the huge amounts of garter stitch to be done. It looks great so far but so very boring! Fourteen more rows to the end of this section and then on to the fun stuff!
I broke up the monotony of garter stitch knitting with a side project of knitting a pumpkin.
The pumpkin itself turned out well but can't say much for the leaves & stem. After the leaves & stem were knitted & had gone through the felting process, I noticed (as you can see in the picture) that they didn't felt at all. Took another look at the ball band and it said "superwash". D'oh!
I'll have to dig around some more for green wool tomorrow. It hasn't been a good knitting day.
I also made some little clay rabbits who looked more psychotic than cute. Not a good craft day either.
Thanksgiving
1. I know I've said many times how thankful I am for my friends and family but it bears repeating...over and over again. I didn't want to say the same thing every post but I really am thankful for them. I'm really lucky to have them. There's no rule that says I have to come up with something different everyday.
2. The use of my hands that I could make stuff on a whim.
3. Coffee - did you know coffee is good for you?
