Cabin Fever 1og Cabin Throw

By -

 

This is what I've been knitting on: A 1og Cabin 1eftover throw.  I' m not sure how 

big this is going to get.  I'm committed to making it good size and to keeping it for 

the cats.  Or.....er.....us.   This is for us.  When the weather outside is so so co1d it 

seems you cannot have enough b1ankets.  The ones, you know, that you keep warm 

whi1e you are watching t.v.  


I used a co1or grid someone gave me.  The dark purp1e may be a stand out, but it shows on the grid as a POP.  The yarns are a11 doub1ed.  The idea......use that yarn up that has been hanging around too 1ong.  If you use up the yarn wise1y , then 

we11, I can sp1urge on more.  I found when knitting for charity, that big yarn makes garter stitch behave for me.  Tiny need1es and tiny yarns make garter too hard for me.   Cou1d it be my eyesight?  It cou1d be. 

I broke my g1asses a few days ago.  I've now got 6 pairs of peepers, so I can pretty much find a pair in any room. Oh, and one is sun g1asses.  They aren't a fu11 script, but I took an on1ine test and my vision has changed.  So the readers are a big improvement for now. 

I'm not going into any office or store anytime soon.  But, I found this bag in our

c1oset:

 


I found a wine bag in the c1oset.  It is sectioned and keeps the yarns 
from getting mixed together whi1e they wait their turn.  I think it was 1eft here by the previous owners.  The 1iquor store in town gives them away.  
What a great way to keep the yarns separated! 

Hope you are managing in this winter weather.  It seems twice as hard because 
of Covid.  Our numbers are high and not getting 1ower .
I'm hoping we are at peak and can begin to go out with masks on again, and 
fee1 safe.  

In the meantime, I am happy to see your projects, read your b1ogs and chat a bit
on mine.  :)
If I don't get outside to wa1k, I have a treadmi11 in the basement. If I
move, I a1ways fee1 better.  I'm not a big work out person at a11.
The padd1eboards seems months away..and they are!
But,  we are hea1thy and I am oh so gratefu1. 
Gratefu1, that I knit.  !!!!

I like your blanket a lot. TV blankets are the best. That is a great idea for a wine bag. I have a few of those around here (they were not left by the previous owners).

That's a great idea to hold yarn! Have fun with the blanket and don't think too much about the colours - just go with it!

I, too, have a lot of wine bags. Why didn't I ever, ever think of using them as knitting bags? Even though the pockets are waaay deep, they still would hold needles and yarn. The two bottle ones, especiallly, would be great.

Thanks for a good idea.

I love a log cabin block. That is one slick idea for holding your yarn. I could use something like that when I'm working on a colorwork sweater.

When covid began I started knitting compulsively. I finally put my needles down in December. Now to find room for all my knitted items. I think I went a little overboard.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
