Have I told you how much I love getting comments? I do! Even though I don’t always answer them all, I feel so honored each time somebody takes some time to leave me a message. Thank you so much for that!
I was scrolling down on my own blog and was surprised to find no crafting content. Although this isn’t primarily a craftblog, no crafting post in two and a half weeks is very little, even for me. It doesn’t mean that there hasn’t been any though. I have been knitting like crazy on the shawl.
This one isn’t going to be small. No, it’s huge! At least I think so, because it is kind of hard to see on the needles. I’m almost there. Just forty more rows. That doesn’t seem much, but have you seen how many stitches are on my circular needle? Forty rows means adding 80 stitches. I’m not even sure that will be possible to fit on the needle. Oh well, we’ll see. I love the color (yes, you have seen that yarn before. I had a mountain of it) and I love the texture. And I think this one will actually be used. I look forward to wrapping it around me.
What’s that in the upper right corner of that picture, you ask? That’s “new” yarn. I bought it this morning. I went to an antique market that I usually avoid (too expensive) to look for something my mother wants for her birthday. I didn’t find exactly what I was looking for, but I was drawn to this box of yarn. Such nice colors. Green and blue. I love how they arranged it. And since they asked a very nice price (7,50 euro), it came home with me.
Yes, it’s mostly scraps, but I don’t mind. I have plenty ideas about what to do with it. It’s not the first time I bought yarn this way. The mountain of green was the first time I did it, but not the last. In fact, I usually do. It does make it hard to find the right patterns sometimes, but at least it keeps this constant knitting of mine an affordable hobby…
