Good Morning Sunady again [ they do come quickly ]

Good morning All on this [rather cloudy here] Sunday. May the rain fall all day !!!! we need it . The clouds outside look more like tangled threads, maybe the great knitter in the sky let her stash fall down ,,,,,,:>:>:> I have finnished several projects that were around [ and some that were started only recently ., for both my Young adult Children and me,

Hats , moebiouses , mittens, wrist warmers , as well as finding a shawl i nevere finnished [ i am ashamed ,,,, it was pushed into some thing under something ,,,, you know.....] Shawl was made like the Zimmerman , Pie are Squaew shawl ,,, but being me , i rtaher start at the wider side of things , thus strated widely and than started to improovise , also i didn`t think i had enough wool [ soft camel], of one dye thus combines stripes of another lighter color , which is ok ,,,, somehow life , other more needed things were put in lifht and i forgot / hid away that shawl ,,,, a day or two i took it out of it`s bag ,,, tes it is time to look at it again and finnish it ,, of course having improovised i have to count and measure to see at which level i really am ,, also in the men time a friend knitted me a yellow shawl ,, hence i might not really need a camel one ,,,, but i am already half way , thus it shgould be finnished and if i won`t wear it i might find the right person to give this as a present .... This are Good troubles . I also finnished embroidered parts of an art project i do ,,,, It is good to be working in many levels ,,, good Day to all ... mirjam

Good day to you Mirjam, I wish you a joyful one. Today we have winter sunshine and frost on the garden where the shadows lie - cold and pretty.

I too have had a busy few days. Firstly, I did research on the web and found various pages (with diagrams and pictures) of moebius projects at different stages od completion. Then I researched some more about different methods of cast on, then I got to the "knit it and try it out" stage. I have had so much fun doing all this and am now part way through my first moebious project. :-)

Mirjam, thank you so much for your encouragement without which I probably would not have tried. Thank you also to Aud - seeing the lovely shawl you made also gave me the confidence to try.

Eventually I decided to make up my own pattern for a scarf and hood combined which would be useful to me. It is being worked in a lace stitch, on 4mm needles and with a cream coloured yarn made of 70% acrylic and 30% kid mohair - very soft and fluffy, (I am allergic to wool). I found that the cast on with a crochet hook was easiest (having tried the one with waste yarn). Having made a swatch the size and tension should be all right.

The jumper I started before I went into hospital has been put aside for the moment. Oh, happy days!

All the best Bernadette

Wow you 2 girls put me to shame......I have a baby hat half done and decided a few days ago to try the Heartbreakingly Cute Baby Kimono in the Mason-Dixon Knitting Book....so far I am finished with the bottom....increased for the sleeves and working one of the neck edges......at first the directions made no sense [knit 34 sts and bind off

25 and knit to end] so I did what I do with senseless crochet patterns and just went step by step not reading ahead and now it makes sense. I am hoping to give the finished hat and kimono as gifts.
