Thank you for sharing @maddison ! The bracelets look awesome! Now I can see how relaxing it can be making them - wow.

Hello @maddison @Gwynn @tyme @Eve7 @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Former-Member @hanami @Daisydreamer @Ellie4 and all forumites here. 

Iā€™m posting a photo of another beanie Iā€™ve just completed for charity. This is beanie 29 for the donation pile for the Salvation Army Iā€™m working on with 2 more to go until I reach my goal of 31 beanies that Iā€™ve decided to do.

Re: Knitting

Good afternoon @hanami @Gwynn @Former-Member @tyme @maddison @Daisydreamer @Former-Member and all crafty people here. Thanks for all the great comments about my beanies- much appreciated! See below for a photo of beanie 30 I completed on Thursday at my sisters house whilst waiting around for my housemate to have an appointment in the city. Iā€™m sorry itā€™s upside down! Iā€™m now working on beanie 31 as we speak.

This afternoon, Iā€™ve decided that Iā€™m going to spend some time working on my crochet granny square blanket as I lost my crochet hook on Thursday only to find out today that my housemate had brought a crochet kit for me to teach her how to crochet and it had the hook size (4.25mm) that I lost so Iā€™m now borrowing it off her until my new one arrives in the mail that I ordered on Thursday night. I have a real need to crochet right now for some reason and Iā€™m do ding that itā€™s making me feel calm, relaxed and centred if thatā€™s the right word to use. Thereā€™s something about crocheting thatā€™s different to knitting and I know I need to take a break from knitting my current adult charity blanket as Iā€™m getting a little bored of it to be honest. Crocheting is calming and I like the process of moving the hook through the yarn (I only use acrylic as itā€™s all I can afford with the exemption of a cable scarf that Iā€™m currently in the process of knitting for my housemateā€™s mother for the endless time after losing the wool in the last house move and that wool was purchased from Bendigo Woollen Mills as my housemateā€™s mother picked out the colour and the wool for me to knit for her) in order to make a blanket. Itā€™s just something special and therapeutic that I enjoy and love if thatā€™s possible. Iā€™ll post a photo of my blanket later when Iā€™m finished the section I want to complete- currently using orange wool in that section right now. Iā€™m hoping to make the blanket big enough for me with the additional colour of lilac and then maybe white to add to my blanket. 

Take care!

Re: Knitting

Good evening @Judi9877 @Eve7 @Gwynn @hanami @Former-Member 

 

It has been a while since I visited here. I really have to get back into crocheting my baby blanket. My friend in America has a baby due in May an I have hardly started. 

Lots of love to everyone xxx

Re: Knitting

Lovely to see you again, @Oaktree! šŸ™‚ How have you been? Exciting news for your friend about the baby - best wishes to mother and bub! šŸ˜„

Re: Knitting

Thanks @Gwynn 

 

I have been well but a little stressed lately. I started studying at university. I am only doing two units but itā€™s a lot for someone not used to doing anything. Itā€™s going ok at the moment. 

Thanks for the best wishes for my friend. It is an exciting time. This will be her third baby and she already has a girl and a boy. This time they are having another little girl. I am pretty excited.

 

How are you doing?

Re: Knitting

Yeah, uni can be tough, particularly when your subjects arenā€™t complementary. I know that when I do two at once, Iā€™m always feeling pulled between them, which isnā€™t a good feeling! Have you made contact with your uni library? Iā€™ve heard that students who use the library get better results. Hope your stress can be resolved soon.

Tell your friend she has to name her bundle of joy after you šŸ˜‰

On the whole, Iā€™ve been going well, but I need to get cracking on uni. Got any tips for me?

Looking forward to seeing your blanket as it grows for baby. šŸ˜Š Iā€™m glad youā€™ve found your way back to us.
