Where did the year go?
It's been a slow week as I've had a cold (and migraines), but feeling better now, apart from bouts of coughing.
Managed to get the grass mowed yesterday...
And we are finally getting a reprieve from the horribly strong winds we've had for weeks... The garden and especially the roses have taken a battering...
But with the calmer weather we have been getting some lovely sunsets...
I did get Hazel's Christmas blanket finished...
And it got the tick of approval from these four...
I undid the vest I was knitting. I was using the recommended needle size (4mm), but I decided I wanted a softer more open weave knit...
So I'm now using 5mm needles and am happy with the softer, looser knit...
I read somewhere that as the Gospel of Luke has 24 chapters, if you start the 1st December and read 1 chapter a day, you will be finished for Christmas!
I'm going to do it.
Anyone want to join me?
Have a blessed week my friends!

That vest must have been bugging you for a while, for you to undo that much. But when you know you've done the right thing, you know it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I kept thinking it would be ok, but the more I knitted, the more I decided I wasn't happy with it. So there was only one thing to do ... :)
DeleteHello Lynda, i'm sorry to read about the virus and the migraines, neither are fun ❤️. your knitted vest will look lovely when its finished and that blanket is absoutely gorgeous. I'm like you I cannot believe its Christmas already. I will do my best to join you on the St Luke journey. God bless San xx
ReplyDeleteFeeling better now and getting on with things. But I think the vest might need to be put on hold till after Christmas. So far I'm keeping up with the St Lukes readings :)
