All done! And gifted. It's gone!
The baby it will cover is not due until the very end of November ... but I have a small house, so I figured, hey, let them store it for 7 months! This is their third baby, and they don't know yet what flavor they're getting.
I warned the baby daddy, very apologetically, that it was hand-wash only ... he said, "That's okay, babies hardly ever spit up!" Heh.
I also finished the Zauberball socks, but didn't take a picture. I figured there were enough pictures of them in progress. I'm working a little on the Angry Eye Scarf from a couple of posts ago, and girding myself for the most fabulous, most wonderful time of the year ... the Sheep and Wool Festival! Now a mere 40 hours away! I've got my picnic lunch all planned out, and I hope to restrain myself to purchasing sundries and pattern books and not any more yarn, and hopefully no roving. I have made almost no progress on the stuff I bought last year, because I buy yarn and fiber with no plan in mind. Then when I want to make something, I find that I have absolutely nothing to wear/spin, so off I go to buy more.
And if you're wondering how I did in last Sunday's race, you can check it out here. I had a wonderful time, and I am so glad I went ... and I'm even happier that I didn't know about that hill before I was chugging up it. That hill was a major --
Happy face!
Don't forget to stop by the Wonder Why farm for Fiber Arts Friday!
I am so impressed by you who has the patience to knit all those little squares and make blankets. And this one came out beautifully. And perfect for a nonspitting baby. ;). I hope you'll get a wonderful weekend with lots and lots and lots of yarn.
ReplyDeletePlease! Please! Please! Take lots of photos of the festival. I am so envious that you get to go. Hooray for looking great too! You are an inspiration. Finally, that blanket really is great! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on both the race and the FO! That blanket is just lovely, I had to check it out in more detail. You did a fantastic job on it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty blanket! That is a lucky family that you made it for. Hope the festival is a blast.
ReplyDeleteBeth it is beautiful! What a lovely gift for a baby!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on an FO AND the race! The Sheep and Wool should be your reward. Zauberball seems to be very popular for Wingspan, the color stripes come out nicely.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous blanket! That is one lucky baby. And now you have more time for Christmas knitting in November ;)
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is beautiful and I wanna see those socks! Congratulations on your finishing the race.
ReplyDeleteThat blanket turned out awesome!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at MDS&W. I've decided I need to go... one day... As I type that, I realize that today is Cinco de Mayo, The Kentucky Derby, The Great Western Alpaca Show (GWAS), Shearing Day and MD Sheep and Wool... I'm going to have to plan my trip very carefully, when I do make it happen. ;-)
