I got all Beth and Alex's washing done and dried, folded and into a basket so I can return it this afternoon. I got some of mine done too but that's on the drying rack and needs folding or ironing and folding.
I also managed to finish the cardigan and get it stitched up. I just need to steam out the seams and get a nice big button and then it's done. It took less of the yarn I had bought for it so I have 400g Aran for something else.
I have various patterns so will have a look at a later date. I could perhaps make something for the Sally Army drop off or maybe I have enough for a waistcoat type pullover for myself. I'll have a think.
It has come out shorter than I expected (although longer than the pattern says) and I like it but am wondering about making it again in another colour - there was a lovely deep reddish maroon colour in the same kind but not enough balls - well, there would have been but I thought I needed more.

Now I want to finish off the Tiles crochet project. There's quite a bit to do of that so it won't be finished this week! I think this month should be called Finish Off Friday.
Today starts with circuits (and I need to get going or I won't be ready), followed by the usual Monday tidy and clean downstairs. This afternoon I take the washing back and sort out my own washing. And then I can settle to my crochet. Just a nice, homey kind of day.
Better get going then. See you tomorrow. Thanks for reading and thanks for all the comments you leave in here. They are much appreciated. xx
Definitely finish the Tiles project before starting another cardigan-you’ll be so pleased you did. Did you watch Throw Down last night? It was so good and sadly someone had to go home. Catriona
ReplyDeleteNot yesterday - I have it saved to watch one evening. I always feel sad when someone goes home. xx
DeleteYou're a quick worker. It takes me ages to finish anything. Actually, it takes me ages to start . . .
ReplyDelete:-). Once I'm sitting down, I have to have something to do with my hands, you see. I can't just watch telly! xx
DeleteI have been working between projects the past few months and it seems to be taking ages to finish one. I did get one knitted blanket done and have another on my needles. This is I hope the last one for Kurt's friends. I hope you complete the Tiles very soon.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
IT's going well, thank you. There's a lot more to do in terms of joining and edging but I'm almost there with the actual 'tiles'. Good luck with finishing off your projects this month. xx
DeleteFinish off Friday sounds a great idea. It's very tempting to start a new project that has caught our eye before completing those already started. I'm looking foward to seeing the tile crochet.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your week x
I meant 'Finish Off February, doh!! I was a bit rushed when I wrote that.
DeleteThe principle remains the same though and good luck with getting yours finished. There will always be tempting new projects, won't there? xx
Wow, it does sound like you've been busy. I started another cross stitch, but it's not coming along very quickly. The aging (I'm really not that old but it has got worse) eyesight is horrible for stitching.
ReplyDeleteKnow exactly what you mean. I used to love doing very fine cross stitch but can't do it any more. xx
