WIP's

Hi everyone
I have been busy, even if the blogs are not numerous. I have made 8 of these and posted them off.

In the good old days, I was a one project person (except when I had to make two or three of everything for my DD's). But now I seem to be restless and like to move between projects, although I do have one major one at a time, which must be finished first, then either smaller ones, or the next major one - like here

This is the start of the next major project. I won't identify it as it will be a gift. There are still 2 colours missing though - black & white

And here are 2 projects lying together - the top one is the start of 1 of 2 I need to make for DD3's wedding for her flower girls and just peeping through underneath is the ripple blanket which somehow got waylaid. I need to work out how I want to finish it off as I don't like the straight side edgings of it and want it a little bit wider, but ideas are there

And my major project - the Hex blanket. Working around the edgings now. To go around it once takes me 1-1/2 hours!!!!! 10 rows to go!! Bye for now

Hex Blanket

Hi everyone
Well although we have been at home all week with DH, I could not get to the computer to "talk" :-). But I did put the time to good use by joining my Hex's. Here is a small glimpse of what is to come. Although I originally did want 'in your face loud' colours, I am loving the slightly muted shadings in the colours I chose. After seeing the elderly patients in the hospital I really felt the need to assist in some small way and I am NOT a hospital or nursing type of person. Then I remembered "Slippers with Soul" via K4C- KAL (knit-along) Yahoo group (which is connected to K4C). Exactly what I wanted to assist with (DH's feet were also cold in the hospital). Mind you the family LOVE them and I am getting requests to make them some too!!!! They will have to wait a little while though and get in the queue :-)

And yes DH is dealing with the 'C' word and we have just found out that 'C' therapy will be starting in 2 weeks. So my blogging will be more erratic than it already is.

One good thing is that doctor's surgeries are great places to create little projects

Bye for now
