From Ginny
~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading?
The last yarn post was dated 2/3 (how cool that is the opposite of today's date - it's the little things, people, the little things!)
So - a four week update.....
I finished Isabel's patchwork dog.

| I think she likes it! |
I have been working on baby blankets.
Completed:
This one for our new Godson, Zachary:
This one for the new baby boy the wife of one of Frank's contractors is expecting this month:
In the works:
these two blankets for the older sister and brother of the new baby due mentioned above.
I am hoping to complete some WIP's once these blankets are finished
As far as reading: the pile is just to daunting to actually record: some of note: A collection of short stories to keep up Nathaniel for High School Am Lit, Introduction of the Devout Life (always), Lent Reflections by Bishop Robert Barron, A Wrinkle in Time, a children's biography on John Adams (for history with Julianne and Lucas), The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey (audio in the car), Wildly Affordable Organic, Frugavore: How to Grow Organic, Buy Local and Waste Nothing, and East Well. A very eclectic mix to be sure.
head on over to Ginny's to see what everyone else is doing!
Oh my goodness that dog is the cutest and most unique thing I have seen in a while! What a great idea! I wish I could crochet, but alas, two needles seem to be the only thing that works for me.
ReplyDeletethank you - I feel the same way about 2 needles. It is a struggle!. I would think making knit squares would work as well.
Deleteoh my that dog is adorable!!! And you must be the Blanket making Queen!!! All of those blankets are really gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethank you. Baby/small blankets are nice for me to work on at all the practices I get to sit through! lol
Deletewhat a great way to use patchwork.....i'm stuck on blankets for mine, but i'm keeping that dog idea filed! cute!
ReplyDeleteI was not too sure, buy Isabel saw the pattern at my mom's and asked for it. It was nice and portable.
DeleteThe dog is wonderful and so are the blankets!
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteSo many cool projects. The dog is so sweet! I have been on a blanket making binge lately myself. Especially with scrap yarn.
ReplyDeletethank you. Am looking forward to seeing all your projects - can always use good ideas!
DeleteOh my goodness! The crochet dog is crazy cute!!! Such beautiful projects!
ReplyDeleteThat dog is adorable, I need one! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThe dog is absolutely adorable!!! I really need to learn to crochet so I can make things like that. Did you use a pattern? Those blankets are lovely too. :)
ReplyDeleteI found the pattern on Ravelry! Bookmarked for the future.
DeleteHi! Thank you!
DeleteMy mom had found the pattern and I googled patchwork dog and found the blog. I would think if you knit you could do the same thing. The squares are about 2.5 inches square.
good luck and have fun with that!
I've never seen anything like that puppy...too cute!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa!
DeleteOh gosh that dog is darling!
