baby blankets

I have made over half a dozen baby blankets this year already. I have just heard about one more relative having another baby. So, two more are on the way.

Is any one else knitting this summer?

Hope to here from a few on our sight.

There is always something on the needles here. Summer is when I do most of my Christmas knitting. At the present, I am knitting for myself. There is a picture of the project here in the upper left corner of the page.

About twenty years ago my cousin knitted a christening shawl using very thin needles and very, very fine wool from the sheep's neck. The completed item is about 4 feet square and, according to Shetland tradition, must be able to be drawn through a wedding ring. My cousin's shawl passed this test but she says she won't ever do one again, neither her eyesight, her concentration or her patience are up to it anymore!

Hi Dennis,

I never stop crocheting, in the summer I just make smaller afghans. Done 34 so far this year.

Hugs,

Nora

A decade or so ago when I was on the Knit List that had a HUUUUGE traffic, there was a lady who told a story about buying a fleece from a baby lamb who either was stillborn or only lived a few days, and the lady selling the fleece was very sad at the thought of selling the fleece of that poor baby lamb (although this was her business -- she raised sheep to sell their fleeces), and the lady who bought the fleece spun it super-thin and made one of these types of shawls, and the next time she was going to be in the vicinity of the fleece-seller, she took the shawl she had made to show the lady so she could rejoice in the marvel of beauty that had been created. That was the best true story I ever heard on my few years on the list, and I was sorry that I didn't keep a copy of it.

Thank Mirjam,

It is very pleasant.

I do a lot of fishing in the summer but I still knit and crochet.

If there weren't spring/summer distractions, then I think there would be more knitting done. DA

Thanks you. The shaping of the fronts is quite interesting, having to keep track of all the increases and decreases makes counting almost every row a chore. DA
