Well I did get 31 squares done for my sock yarn blanket before I left for New York, so that is one thing.
I did swatch for my husband's socks using Briggs and Little sport yarn, so I am ready to start knitting on the airplane on Tuesday night.
I am about 20 rows in on my C2C blanket which I worked on during the five hour flight last Thursday - although it seemed for every two rows I had to rip one out because I was watching movies, and learning to crochet this pattern needs attention.
By the way - watch the movie Eddie the Eagle - it is such a lovely film.
Mostly though I have been celebrating with part of my extended family my Aunt's 100th birthday.
Such a wonderful four days, not much knitting, but lots of love and joy, laughter and stories.
I am the one on the left!
you are both so beautiful!
ReplyDelete31 squares is great!!! So glad you could go and celebrate!
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling...Eddie is on my tv this week, so will check it out... Xxx
ReplyDeleteIs this a picture of your aunt who is 100?!? If so, she looks incredible. You both are simply glowing.
ReplyDeleteaww, sorry to hear about the frogging. I do that too when I am watching netflix. I usually find myself holding my hook/needles frozen because I'm so sucked in but when I try to work and watch I usually end up frogging. I really want to knit another pair of socks and I ordered some! It is self striping and omg so perfect for me. It is acutally my first REAL yarn lol so I need to order a yarn winder and swift. I can't wait until it gets here so I can figure out what I'm going to do. I really want to make a sock yarn blanket too now. I like the idea of a "memory" blanket using left over yarn.
ReplyDeleteOh, I completely forgot to mention that you look great and so does your aunt! Wow, what a milestone! I'm so glad you were there to spend it with her.
ReplyDeleteYour Aunt looks incredible, many belated birthday wishes to her. Great job on being so organised and on top of the projects even with all of that partying going on.
ReplyDelete100! She doesn't look it tho I am not sure what 100 is supposed to look like.... she is very classy looking and I see the family resemblance You both have lovely smiling eyes ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely pictures of you and your aunt. She is doing really well for 100!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so well with your projects and I am sure will catch up when you get back home.
I watched Eddie the Eagle recently as well, and it was a lovely film. I remember him so well, he was a national hero over here (you know how we always love the underdog)! ;-)
You both look so so beautiful. A Hundred for her! Fabulous So much to teach us. The elders are wise wise wise
ReplyDelete100 years.......imagine all she has seen in her lifetime! Sounds like you had your yarn and needles/hooks ready for travel too.
ReplyDeleteWow, look at your aunt! You must have good genes! And 31 squares is fantastic all on it's own.
