A Busy Week (or Three)

I've been busy this week finishing up a few projects that I've had in the works for a while, some of which had been languishing on the needles for several weeks. I decided that I wanted to get at least a few of these finished before I started anything new. I'm almost done with my latest pair of socks and need to weave in loose ends on a couple of bigger things that I have had "done, but not finished" for some time. I expect to get the blanket and the afghan listed on Etsy in the next couple of days. I also have to knit a pair of men's slippers in addition to the pair I knitted last night so I can ship them out as a custom Etsy order by Wednesday. As soon as the socks are finished and delivered to their recipient, I'll be working on some wire-knitted jewelry, a couple of felted bags, and a secret project I can't post yet in case the recipient happens to read my blog (not to mention whatever else comes up unexpectedly in the meantime).

Two More Blankets are Done!

So the yellow blanket was finished late last week, and I delivered it to church on Palm Sunday.

The white one was finished on Monday evening and delivered to choir rehearsal on Wednesday evening.
I guess after knitting three baby blankets in two and a half weeks, I'm about blanketed out for a while. Time to work on something else completely different.

Knitting with Wire and Beads

Today I went to Springfield to take a community education class titled "Knitting with Wire and Beads", taught by my good friend Dianna. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and was able to complete my bracelet during the class session.


When I left the class I was extremely inspired and felt compelled to stop by Hobby Lobby to pick up an assortment of wire and beads for some additional projects. How fortuitous that all of their beads were 50% off today, and the wire was 30% off! I was able to stock up on an assortment of supplies and can't wait to get going on some new projects. It's really too bad that my fingers can't keep up with my brain.
