Sew Dance

Baby blanket complete. A little wavy, not sure it's my tension or the pattern, possibly a combination of both. It's getting warmer here, to the point where I don't want to have blankets draping on my legs, even with AC. I started participating in the latest HAED challenge with a new start on Secret Carousel MC. Would post, but it's 18 lines of the same color. In fact the first two pages are all one color, so picture a small rectangle of DMC 939.

I've gotten a bit ambitious with the CAL. Started the top on Friday and have managed to make a part a day. And started the dress on Tuesday and am through part 3. Probably should've worked on it Monday rather than the baby blanket. Speaking of which, I have about 20 rows left. And here's Clyde looking cute in his tree while watching the rain hit the leaves of a bush.

Knit a baby blanket, it won't take that long and you can practice your knitting. That's what I thought 2 weeks ago. Now I'm on the 3rd skein of yarn, but on the last page of instructions. At least I can call myself an intermediate knitter.

So, I managed to make it to the 2nd length of circulars. I was going to switch again with the last increase, but now the stitches are gliding better and I still have some room. Also, not sure why I bought more yarn, I'm trying to reduce my stash, but I found this really pretty CAL on ravalry, and it's only free until May when the last part comes out... And I need to show my progress to the designer... So between that and needing to get a new K hook, I started putting things in my cart. Then I figure, I might as well make the shipment worth my while. So several pdf files of recently acquired patterns later, I had 13 different yarns for 8 projects... Oops. And let's not get into the shoes...

So, I finished the Annie's Lace throw tonight. Tada! And as my hands/wrists were starting to bother me, I switched crafts. Say hello to my new knitting project. Starting out with DPNs and using a cable needle... Still not enough stitches to transfer to my circulars... Anyway, thought this was cool while working on the throw. I know it was standing up, but I got pretty close to the end before the tunnel collapsed. And here are the other two kits from HAED. Soul Mate (aka Clyde) and It's Only Forever SSMC (aka Labyrinth). I love the little bag on the left and the green threader is my favorite of the three. Still haven't located my K hook....
