Back to The Knitting

I have one month of unemployment in front of me and I am going to enjoy every bit of it. I have started the month off by knitting a baby bog for my nephew. This an Elizabeth Zimmerman pattern from her Knitting Around book.



The yarn is Schachenmayr nomotta Extra Merino Big that I bought from Webs during the Atlanta Stitches event. This is some fantastic yarn. The stitch definition is beautiful and it really have a nice feel to it. It has enough structure to ensure the two year old I’m making it for doesn’t destroy it but soft enough that he should enjoy wearing it.

​

Best of all, this yarn is machine washable. I’ve got to get back to the knitting. I hope all you employed people have a great working week.

Update

It’s been a rough couple of weeks here at Casa de Sunny, but things are starting to calm down a bit. There are a few of you that I need to get in touch with for various reasons and I hope to make that happen this week. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I’m at the start of some major life changes and you will hear about all of them as soon as I make some key decisions.

I trust you all are doing well and are dealing well with whatever life-happenings you are facing. Keep crafting, blogging and smiling in the meantime. There are bound to be some calm days ahead.

Still Knitting

​
Since I won’t be able to join you all for WWKIP day, I am posting my current project to encourage you all to sit out tomorrow and knit. I’m going to try and get some public knitting done, but it’s going to be a crazy weekend for me. I’m continuing on with my little footie sock. I keep sliding it on my foot to really make sure it fits because it looks so tiny, but I won’t be able to tell if it will truly stay on my foot until it’s finished. I’m afraid it will slide off of my foot while wearing it, but I’m hopeful.

I was cleaning some of my windows today and once again, I was wishing I had more knitted or crocheted washcloths as they are my window washing tool of choice so I’ll get back to some of my cotton crafting this weekend.

I’ll be heading to Maryland for a client meeting next week but I doubt I’ll be able to do any knitting while on the trip. I just may stick to reading this go round. And writing of course. I’m still ramping up on my writing time.
