Another week gone for 2025. I hope yours was a happy and productive week. Here is a look at what my week looked like.
There were 2 finished items this past week. First up is the baby hat.
It is such a quick knit. I made the preemie size. There will be another one of these cast on as soon as I finish my blog today.
I also finished up the lapghan for the prayer shawl ministry at our church.
This was made from the leftovers of my daughter's turtle blanket. I still have enough leftovers to do another lapghan of some sort. Not sure I will do another ripple. Although, this is a pretty mindless crochet pattern. But, while I decide what to do with the rest of those leftovers, I will be starting another To The Point Shawl this week.
My RCR socks are progressing.
Heels are done and the long slow process of the foot is underway. I am still trying to do at least 5 rows each day on each sock. These will need to be tried on soon. Since they are made with cotton yarn, I do not think they are going to be a snug fit once put on. Therefore, I may need to decrease a few stitches to give the snug fit I like. Stay tuned!
That is all for yarn crafting this week. I have been working on diamond art this week too. My original piece is now halfway completed. I started another one this week and it is halfway done too. Variety is the name of the game for me.
Nothing much else of interest this week. Physical Therapy is still ongoing. I have a feeling I am just about done there. I will be re-evaluated the end of this month. If I do get discharged, I have purchased several items so I can continue with all the exercises at home. I do not want to loose the muscles I have gained!
Here is your chuckle for the week..................Enrique liked it.
Until Next Time.........................Happy Crafting!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a great week. Sorry, no advice about cotton. My Fixation yarn is cotton but it does have elastic in the yarn so it fits snuggly. I of course have to use less stitches since it's knit on a US 4 versus the US0 I use for fingering sock yarn. You remind me. I want to order myself some diamond art butterfly plant pot stacks as a birthday gift for myself.
ReplyDeleteI've never knit socks with cotton before. I look forward to see how they fit. I hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteCotton usually shrinks a bit so hopefully they’ll be a good fit. The small blanket looks great and I’m sure the recipient will appreciate it. I sent a similar funny to my husband a few years ago as he used to snap her treats in half. We still miss her so much. Liz
ReplyDeleteThe blanket looks lovely - love the ripple colors.
ReplyDeleteThat little preemie hat is adorable with the rolled brim and little pixie spike on top (I have no idea what that's called, but pixie spike seems appropriate). And your ripple blanket it very nice. I can see a man or a woman might enjoy that across their knees. You know... the older I get, the more a lap blanket sounds appealing. Historically, I only envisioned them for people in wheelchairs, but the more I think about it, little blankets like this are very practical for anyone who tends to get chilly for a bit, then warm. Easy on and off (the lap or shoulders).
