New WIP, New Tee!

The project is the Brick Work Baby Blanket , it’s a free Ravelry download. Have a new little one due from a friend at Church. It’s too warm for a sweater and sweaters really only fit for a few months so I chose a blanket again, takes longer but I was more in the mood to knit a blanket than a sweater. I chose yellow in the Crafter’s Secret Big Idea 16 ozs 810 Yards. It’s acrylic for easier washing. It should hopefully be plenty, it calls for 700 yards but I’m using the needle it calls for US size 8, 29″ cable, and I would normally, because of the gauge I get with my style of knitting (combined continental) I knit a little loose and generally go down 1 size needle, hope I’m not going to be playing yarn chicken. If I think I am I’ll end it early :P. I’m still on the top border (yeah they are starting on the top border instead of the bottom – tho I can’t think with this pattern it will make any difference which is top and which is bottom) and again this one starts row one on the wrong side of the work, so it won’t confuse me this time!!

I did buy another shirt, I just love these funny shirts (this was a picture on Etsy). Honestly I could cross off the ignore part and it would still work :P. One more shirt and an another pair of jeans and I should be good to go with clothes for a couple of years. The shirt and jeans will be next month’s purchase, clothes are expensive!!

    • Yeah I like a brand Target has for jeans but you have to order the petite on line, they don’t carry petite sizes in the store and unfortunately I need petite sizes as well because I hate shortening the leg length. Sigh. I might go to Kohls and check out their jeans. Targets are only 36 dollars I bet Kohls is more expensive.

      Finished the baby blanket border for the top today, now I can start on the brick background for the middle of the blanket :), lots of markers to keep the pattern :P. She’s due in July so I got my work cut out for me, plus I need a handspun skein for my ophthalmologist next month, who is a knitter and I bring her a handspun skein of yarn every year. I should have had it done already but I’ve been arguing with my double drive wheel which keeps throwing it’s drive band off, I’ll figure it out.

  1. Love the yarn color, it looks like it’ll be a lovely blanket. Happy knitting, and I too hope there’s no yarn chicken involved. Clothes are definitely expensive, and so is everything else. 🙂
