22 Inches

Posted in Knitting, life and whatnot on January 4, 2009 by carolynswafford

The baby blanket is 22 inches long:

22 inches of a 4 row monotonous pattern repeat.  If I follow the instructions, I only have 11 inches more to go.  There is now some urgency to the project as  Keith & Christy had their baby!   Name:  Cassidy Emmeline.  I can’t go and see this baby until the blanket is done! (or so I keep telling myself for motivation)

Look at my new notions bag…isn’t it cute?  I bought it from Valerie, a girl who purchased a bunch of my stitch markers to use as zipper pulls.

See the button on the bag?  That’s from my local yarn store.  It says:  “Just let me finish this row!”  I got that with a gift certificate in a secret santa work exchange.  “Santa” brought me this book for one of my stocking stuffers.  I actually caught my husband reading it at the table while eating cereal.  I was expecting some derisive comment, but he said nothing. 

I’m off to vacumn the stairs to the basement.  Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!
