Just a quick update... The twin set of baby blankets is finally finished. No photos yet but as soon as they've been blocked I'll take some. I'm quite happy with the way both blankets turned out and hope the customer will be as well.
Meanwhile, I've returned to the mitered square item. I'm still calling it an item because I can't decide if it's going to turn out to be the intended afghan, a lap robe, or a table runner. I'd really like it to be an afghan, but an afghan knit in fingering weight yarn on size 2 needles really will take a lifetime. It will most likely end up being a lap robe because I think it's past table runner size. Maybe a small table cloth or table topper. We'll see how the patience level holds out. So far, it hasn't gotten the least bit boring because I change colors so often. If it wasn't for patterns I keep seeing on other blogs that I want to knit, I think I could probably be happy working on this one item for the rest of my life.
One such pattern that's recently caught my attention is a Dr. Who shawlette. Actually, it's called the Bigger on the Inside Tardis shawl. Sadly, I have to admit, I'm not a big Dr. Who fan. I've only watched one episode & I was so confused I couldn't get into it at all. One of these days I may try again. But my daughter, my daughter is a HUGE fan. And she's been asking me to knit her a shawl. I am SO excited to have found this Tardis pattern. Sarah will absolutely love the pattern & knitting it for her may even make me likeable to her teenaged brain. I just hope I can contain my excitement and keep the knitting a secret. Luckily, a knitting blog is the very last thing she would ever read so I don't have to worry about her finding out here. It will be interesting to see if she notices that I'm knitting something in Tardis blue. Meanwhile, I await delivery of the yarn.
For now, I'm off to bowling. Counting today, only three more weeks of homeschool league bowling left. Zack's Saturday morning youth league ended last week. Which means I now have Saturday mornings free!! Of course, summer leagues start up the day the homeschool league ends. But that's okay. The summer leagues Zack will be bowling in are all at night so I won't have to get up early. Not getting up early is always a good thing.
Oooh! The mail is here. I wonder if the Tardis blue yarn magically arrived in one business day instead of the expected five to fourteen. I better go check.
