A Slow Start to the Blogging Year

 


I have been quiet on the blogging front and when I posted my last post, I noticed that my previous post was almost a month old. As that was a monthly round up for January, it seems like a good idea to do a round up for February, which includes a finished project and a new cast on although the second wasn’t a result of the first.

The finished project are the mittens. I finished them in the middle of February. All ends have been sewn in and they have been blocked but I am thinking of blocking them again, so no photos and thus no blog post yet.

The reason for needing a new cast on is that I had reached the buttonband on the cardigan I was knitting and as that had many stitches to pick up it was no longer easy knitting. As I was getting to this point I was more determined on finding a pattern for my oldest yarn but not a pattern for the sake of using the yarn and I am pleased to say that I found Winnie and it is straight forward knitting so nicely fills that gap. (Let’s not talk about how the lace edging will turn it into a concentrate pattern until it is time.)

I have been working on the new project I started last month, usually when I am out of the house and Saturdays have been earmarked as the day to work on scrappy projects. So there has been making but not to report. I will have to go back to my musings or more how to posts.
