I finished my Charity hat and have begun a new one. I wanted to cast on a new project, not quite sure what yet, but held myself back from starting a real project (only working on Charity knits because I need to be knitting on something) because I need to finish spinning the yarn I’m working on for a hat for a family member, I promised so I couldn’t very well let it go anymore. I was very sick last week with a horrible head cold. Feeling much better, just a little cough now. So starting tomorrow I will begin to spin on that project again. I have one bobbin done just need to start and finish the 2nd bobbin and ply them together, then dye the yarn and knit a hat :). More on that as I get there.
I have had a Christmas cactus, that was given to me by a friend, for about 6 years. It had never bloomed so I just kept it around because I like plants and a friend gave it to me. I was so surprised to see blooms on it two weeks ago!!!! Guess it isn’t sure yet when Christmas is :P, but that is ok, it looks beautiful anyway :).
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the fact that Spring will be here in about 6 weeks!! Woot Woot!!
I started these leg warmers just before Christmas and didn’t get them finished in time. So they are my first FO of 2020. This is a pattern from Creative Knitting Magazine Autumn 2013, the pattern is called Colorfully Comfortable Leg Warmers by Kathy North. The pattern has a different cable running down the front but I decided not to add them, they are for a teenager and felt the busy color was enough going on. I used a size 10 12″ circular (because I didn’t have a size 9 😦 , I can’t remember what the maker of the needle is because I can’t find the package it came in, so unlike me) and a size 9 16″ Knitters Pride Karbonz circular (love Karbonz). She loves them, hope they help keep her warm on her walks to and from school this winter, we get very cold in Jan and Feb. Actually it is snowing right now! Weather said between 1 and 3 inches, I think it will be closer to 1.
Thought this knitting humor would be perfect to start the new year. 🙂
