7 down, 3 to go

Trust me, it's a lot bigger than the picture leads you to believe.



This is my "Baby Moderne Blanket" - in progress for about a year now, but I am not letting myself pay attention to how much time it has taken to get this far. It takes a while to knit 36 rows of garter stitch you know! This here is 7 blocks finished of a 10 row blanket. I think it's looking good!





The nice part about it all is that the blanket is now getting big enough to keep my lap warm while it is being knit. I hadn't realized that this was a benefit to knitting a blanket, but now I must admit that I'm a little ashamed that I hadn't thought of something so, well.... obvious!

lack of blogging = lack of time

I thought that after the wedding, I would be able to do all kinds of blogging. And I really did plan to do a lot of blogging, but these two things called "time" and "life" kept getting in the way. On top of that, I love the photo in the previous post so much, that I couldn't really bring myself to replace it by adding something new. I feel like that picture captures everything I felt for every single second of that day, and I don't feel quite ready to let go of it just yet.

So, on that note, I will not write much more - I've knit ONE row on the baby blanket in the last three weeks and I don't see any more time in the foreseeable future to do any more. And all of this "no-knitting, no-blogging" time is really resulting in a fairly unbalanced version of myself. Even my husband commented that my cranky, unbalanced self needed some knitting time - and he usually hates it when I knit!

I'll be back soon.... with knitting in hand, I promise!
