Re: Knitting

Congratulations @Eve7, your blanket looks fantastic! 32B27A4B-0874-44ED-8C89-7308B2F4BCE4.jpeg84683C9E-A933-477E-9A6A-97E41F640EC0.jpegB98F75D6-6E12-4A07-AFB9-97BCBEAA109B.jpeg

Re: Knitting

Hi @Eve7
I love your blanket! Thanks for sharing a photo of it! Are you using specific colours in your blanket? What colours are you going to use? Are you knitting them on the angle? I think I’ve seen blankets like these done but I’ve never been confident to try it. I’m more used to just casting on 40 stitches and knitting them long enough to make a square of 20cm for a blanket. I’m in the process of knitting a strip blanket of 6 strips at 1.10m long and sewing them up to make a baby blanket for charity. I’m actually at the local library working on it as a way of calming down after doing some leftover moving today. There’s a saying on the wall of the library that says ‘Time to unwind…’ and I’m trying to do that with my knitting. I just feel so stressed out right now with the move and everything else that’s going on!

Enjoy your knitting and keep up the great work!

Re: Knitting

Thank you @Judi9877 @Gwynn @Anastasia 

 

It’s in blue and gold which are the Titans colours for my grandson.

 

I start with one stitch and then increaseb1 stitch at the start of every row until there are 60 stitches, knit 1 row, decrease 1 every row until back at 1 and cast off. Too easy. 

 

I’m sorry you’ve been stressed today. I dislike moving with a passion so I quite understand your stress.

 

I’m still at work but nearly finished for the day so will be leaving soon.

 

Take care 💙💛💙

Re: Knitting

Hi there @Eve7 @Gwynn @Anastasia @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @Ripples and everyone here. Tonight, I'm choosing to relax by picking up my crochet hook and working on a blanket for charity in deep purple and red that I started on Saturday night for a change from knitting. It's on a 4mm crochet hook and I'm finding myself feeling quite relaxed whilst doing it which is a great feeling to be honest! Life is stressful but I'm lucky I have my craft hobbies to get involved in and relax with as they definitely help the situation. See below for the photo of my crochet blanket so far. I hope you like it!

@Eve7 So your grandson is a Titans fan in the NRL. That's great as I'm sure he'll love the blanket. I'm a Melbourne Storm fan- Billy Slater and Cameron Smith are 2 of my favourite players of the past era- and I've often had thoughts of crocheting a Storm blanket but just haven't got around to it! Keep up the great work!

 

Okay. Time to get back to my crochet blanket!

Re: Knitting

My h followed the Storm @Judi9877  and we buried him in his Storm shirt.

 

I don’t like Cameron Smith but that’s another story and we all have our flaws.

 

Enjoy your crocheting. I’m still waiting to see your picture.

Re: Knitting

Good evening @Eve7 @Gwynn @Anastasia @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Daisydreamer and all knitters here!
Tonight - Wednesday- I decided to get into the festive Christmas spirit by knitting myself a Christmas tree decoration from a pattern from the December issue of Simply Knitting magazine. It was meant to be knitted on 4.5mm knitting needles but as they were currently out of action due to having another beanie cast on them, I chose to knit the tree on 4mm knitting needles instead. The pattern was quite simple to do, all knit stitch and the odd increase and decrease stitches and the best news is, it was all completed in less than an hour! Now, I'm thinking of making some more as gifts for friends and as some more to hang up as decorations in our new unit in different bright colours. What do you think? See below for the photo. I hope you like it as much as I had fun knitting it.12986076-3EEE-4ECD-ADD3-865F026B4217.jpeg

Re: Knitting

Hi there @Anastasia @Eve7 @Gwynn @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @Paperdaisy and all knitters here. It's Sunday morning and I'm spending my day knitting the 5th strip section of a baby blanket for charity and hoping to get it completed soon along with starting the last section soon.  I have found some yarn in a package of 30 balls of yarn from Spotlight that I picked up months ago from doing the house move that I'm eager to start knitting another blanket which is why I want to complete this current blanket quickly! 

Last night, I finished yet another beanie for charity to add to my pile of donations which I'll send through in February when the charity opens up again. It reminds me of the cartoon kids character, Bluey, with the colours I chose to knit it in by random choice surprisingly! See below for the photo.

Okay! Time to go and knit whilst listening to Christmas music that I did a playlist for on my iPhone. Enjoy your Sunday!
