Still working ...

on the blanket. I'm 60% of the way done and it's getting big! Definitely not a project to take on the go anymore! But I think it's looking good!

I also started another pair of booties. I'm making them white. These will be my on-the-go project while I finish the blanket at home.

Dh did bring me home some fabric this weekend, but I wasn't in a sewing mood! I know I have patterns that need to be cut out first and I don't want to cut them! LOL! Someday ... the basement is in disarray so it's hard to work down there anyway. I was thinking of moving the sewing machine to the first floor for the rest of winter (the basement is also cold). But since we are having a party here on Sunday, it doens't make sense to change it until after then! So we'll see!

Still going!

I'm not on row 55, of 157! Really, not too bad .... 1/3rd of it done in 3 days, that's pretty good! At this rate I'll be done at the end of the week ... of course, I have no plans for the blanket, so it doens't really matter.

Dh should be getting all my fabric this weekend too! Now that is something I can't wait for. Of course, if I get all my fabric back ... I will probably not finish the blanket by the end of the week because I'll get sidetracked by the sewing!

Plugging along ....

Still going on the blanket! Last night I did, undid, redid one row FOUR times before I realized I was reading the pattern wrong, and that was why I couldn't make it work. But I read wrong the same way 4 times! I was so frustrated ... I could have done 8 extra rows were it not for that error ... but thank goodness I finally figured out what the heck I was doing LOL!
Anyway that's all to update here ...

Up next ....

Working on another project .. a baby blanket!
Last night I also finished the second bootie of a pair.
Today I went to the library and checked out some books to look through. Saw lots of really cute patterns in one of them! I think I may have to buy my own copy! LOL!
Still haven't decided on which yarn to get for socks! I know, I know, it's such a small thing! But oh well! LOL!

Sew many projects ...

sew little time ;-)
The train fabric arrived yesterday. I prewashed it today. Tomorrow I will probably begin to work on it.
I am also set on making socks next. I just don't know what yarn to use!! There are soo many options out there!
I like the Knit Picks Simple Stripes KnitPicks.com : Yarn : Simple Stripes
I also like the KnitPicks.com : Yarn : Sock Garden
Of course I could always go with a Lion Brand Magic Stripes too. Oh! I just don't know!!! I don't want to buy a bunch of yarn only to discover I hate it! But at the same time, I don't want ot pay shipping on 1 or 2 skeins either!!
Well, if there is anyone reading this who has some advice to throw this way ... feel free LOL!
