I’ve started a new baby blanket / lap robe using acrylic yarn from my charity stash. I found 4 skeins of matching white yarn that should be enough for a blanket. Actually it will be enough. When half the yarn is knit, I’ll be half done with the blanket – no matter how big it is!
Beginning a blanket
I also found some small amounts of pastel yarn left over from knitting machine projects. I’ll knit using one strand of white and one strand of a pastel. I’m hoping to use up the pastels. As you can probably see, the white yarn is dirty on one end of the skeins. I’ll need to wash the blanket after it is finished. Should be a nice blanket for someone in need.
I also started the front of my topper. The left front and right front are identical rectangles, which together are the same size as the back.
Left or right - both the same
So far the gauge seems to be very close. I have 2 knitting group meetings coming
up this week, so I’m hoping having these 2 projects ‘needle-ready’ will help keep
me productive!
