(p.s. I don't have photos of the two finished scarves from last weekend. They still need to be soaked and "finished"...but I can show you the rest!).
SO, on Thursday night I sat down and finished the baby blanket. I blocked it on Friday. It's just gorgeous.
Then on Friday I started a new little monster. I'm calling it the "calico" monster, though I'm thinking her name might be Gabrielle...not entirely sure yet. I'm using the yarn from the first hat I ever made (that was too big). She's going to be an adorable monster.
Saturday found me wanting to start a new shawl. I love Noro yarns, and I love the way the stripes form in the sample...it was fun getting it started, and I can't wait to wear it.
And if that weren't enough, yesterday I started some mitts...the pattern is called "Snow Queen" but the yarn is in a colorway called "Spring Garden"...which means that these mitts are definitely going to be called "Spring Garden Mitts." It's part of my desire to use the striping sock yarn I get in my yarn of the month club as something different than socks ALL of the time. These are going to be some fun and bright and cheery mitts!
And that's it...if it had been a longer weekend, I probably would have started another new project! I made good progress on the cabin socks. I have the first one completed and the second one is to the foot. They will definitely be warm and cozy socks come winter! I also pulled out my block-a-day blanket and started working on it again now that the baby blanket is finished.
THAT, in case you're wondering, is what a weekend is for...doing things you love and enjoying the company of those you love. Heaven!
