What I've been up to

I told you I had been knitting....Here are the squares for the blankets, because of other commitments on Saturday I was missing SNB, but I had the newspaper clipping from Wednesday's paper saying the Knitting Frenzy would be held in the Old School Park next saturday the date and time. I thought DH is at work I have time to drive down and knit abit before going to friends party in afternoon.
I got my knitting together, my chair and headed off down, I got there and no-one was to be seen, I thought they must have packed up as the weather was turning cold and wet looking. So I went and got some supplies for party and the alcohol (most important) and headed home, only to read the date and it is Saturday 1 October. So I will drive back down this saturday morning and knit a bit. I always get confused with the "next saturday", I take it that it is the saturday coming up not the one after.



I have been knitting the tops on some kitchen hand towels, which should keep me going for a few more years to come. Some are Christmas hand towels, but they will be used all year round. They are all different in colours and patterns, which is the beauty of having a timber kitchen, with black benches and white tiles, any colour matches.



I am working on a blanket for my in-laws for Christmas, I am not sure on the colours, but I am trying to use up this ridiculously huge stash, so I am trying to match up colours the best I can. They are a blue and lemon colour, so hopefully when finished won't look to bad.

My DS #2's girlfriend (damn what a mouth full), was looking at the book I got from the Bookman who comes around work, I was going to get it for my niece, but it had some useful things in it so I decided to keep it for myself. So the girlfriend said last nigth she would like to learn to knit, so she said she would have a go at it from the book, I left her some needles and yarn out on the book this morning, so maybe when I get home she may have started. Would be nice if the dishes were done, the washing folded etc, but that would be just too much for my heart to take......
