"I am not the weather. I am the wide and open sky, and so I can let pain move through me and out of me." - Josie George
Let's get it started....
I have not been feeling so hot lately but I am doing my best to do life. I haven't been able to knit or read much for a while until last night. I picked up the baby blanket I'm working on and got some done. I've been knitting on it today in between household chores. I have finally gotten the groove of this pattern. I made so many mistakes when I first started and took it out several times but then I looked at the pattern repeat and counted the stitches. I put in markers between where each repeat should be and that has helped a lot. If I have extra or too few stitches I'll notice before I move on. At first I was counting after each repeat to make sure I hadn't missed a yarn over or something. Now I don't have to do that anymore. There are 16 rows to the pattern but the even rows are easy (just knit the knits and purl the purls & yo's). I think this will be a very pretty baby blanket and the yarn is so very soft. I like that it is a light weight yarn because it can get hot in Alabama.- The pattern is Bernat #778 Cable and lace Blanket (intermediate level)
- The yarn is Loops & Threads Soft Ombre in Plum/Periwinkle/White (light 3 weight)
