Things are getting busy around here. The calendar is filling up with events supporting the grandkids. Alexis has a music program in two weeks and Carl has a play the same week. I will try to get to both, but it's going to be a bit crazy. They both also have sports competition season going; I'm sure Angie and JC feel like they are meeting themselves coming and going!
I will be doing a BUNCH of LOSY hats as good portable projects while waiting for things to start, etc. This one is well underway from the batch of random 'Halloween' colored yarns that I showed last week.
The other project this week has been the embroidery on Bob's Stocking. Got the first deer finished.
And the second one underway:
Thé deer really finish off the stocking nicely! Great to have a portable project to bring along and do while you are waiting Gail at the Cozy Quilter
ReplyDeleteKnitting is an amazing art to me, as I haven't a clue how to do it. This is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKnitting a hat on a circular needle like that looks like the way to go! I'd like to learn how to do that. The reindeer turned out beautifully! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour knitting is looking great. I like how the deer are coming along. I remember all those many school events. My children were in sports, band and other things. It was quite hectic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful knitting!
ReplyDeleteI've never used circular needles but I can see how it would work well with a hat. Are you embroidering on a commercially or hand knitted stocking for Christmas?
ReplyDeleteI use circular needles for a lot of my knitting. I will even knit back and forth on circs rather than use straight needles.
DeleteThe stocking is the one I knit last year for my brother in law - the poor guy got it with the knitting done, but only the stranded part of the colorwork. I didn't have time for either intarsia or Swiss darning, so he had a very plain stocking last year LOL. A few posts back "Bob's Stocking Redux" has a picture.
