The Olympics have been going on for a week now, so I figure it's time for an update on my project for the Ravelympics. I will admit that I am spending most of my knitting time on my Shoshie shawlette. It is the project I was most nervous about finishing, but I now think I can have it finished today and blocking tomorrow!
I broke my crochet hook that I use to put the beads on my loops, and that slowed me down a little bit - so much for steel huh?
I did work on my felted bowl at lunchtime Mon-Wed I am on the sides (doubling the yarn there since I am making them higher than the original pattern.) I want to be finished by Monday so that I can felt it when I go do laundry on Monday. I figure I can finish it up tomorrow while watching the race at Fontana- it's nice and circular so mindless knit stitches.
After I broke my hook, I worked on my second snowflake mitt to get it started until I got a new hook. I'm not worried about finishing, mitts go fast even when there is colorwork involved!
I was going to comment on how could you possibly break a crochet hook but guess what I did the same thing this afternoon, luckily I have bunches of them
ReplyDeleteGood for you on finishing SHOSHIE I wish I could get Tom to block but he has been doing so much else around here I have to be quiet about it!!!
