A little bit there. And so it goes.
SIL socks have another inch added to the foot (5.5 inches now) not
quite half way. More to be done today, (there will be several bus
rides and a hope of lots of knitting today and the next few days.
But no photo's today.
Potholder 1 for me, black and white
stripes, is now half done –with 6 and bit inches. And potholder
2, red and white stripes, is still short of being half done, but it
too has another inch.
I will need some more black and red
cotton to finish the 4 potholders I plan to knit as a group-all
variations on striped patterns Do you think I am stuck on striped
patterns? I do, but each pattern is different—and stripes offer so
many possibilities! Vertical, horizontal, diagonal, mitered, thick,
thin, all knits, or knits and purls, multi colors (that is more than
2 colors); stripes are complex.
I think want some gingham
potholders, for me and one for DD, too!
I also have some red linen yarn, so I
think I might end up making a towel too. (That is what i bought the linen for in the first place!) I have made several hand
towels, for my bathroom, a red linen towel might be nice for
kitchen. I have some gingham towels, and some striped towel (when I
like something, I like it in lots of different forms) but both are
cotton. Linen towels are special though they last for ever--(one
favorite is some 30 year old, and it hasn't match my kitchen in years!)
But I keep it- linen towels get softer and lovelier with each washing.
I still plan to make another potholder
for my DD, (even though she complained she had too many already)—but
she is still holding onto 2 potholder that were damaged.
After the potholders, UFO's and hats..
(as for which UFO, well, there are still a few of them.
