Too much to write about....

There is so much to write about from the last 3 nights! This may be a picture heavy post, but it really all relates. :)

Wednesday night was the last Beginning Knitting class. I've already shown the progress of the current dish cloth in this post, but I can assure you that it is coming along beautifully! I can't wait to finish this one! But I do have pictures to share of the baby cap that I started on double pointed needles. The yarn is so thin and soft! It's Dreambaby D.K.



Last night, I finished the binding on the dog quilt and found buttons to sew onto the two dog face blocks. OK, when I say found, I mean that I cut them off of a blazer because I didn't realize until 10:30 that I forgot to pick them up and I didn't want to be rushing this morning. I can always replace the buttons on the blazer!



I had to take the pictures at work and didn't want to draw attention to the quilt by asking someone else to hold it up so I sort of pinned it to my bulletin board and draped it. It doesn't look too different from the last picture of it. Oh and my co-worker loves it! I can't wait to hear what her daughter thinks of it!



Since I took the first knitting class, I have been surfing the net for free patterns. I found an awesome pattern for a crocheted afghan on the Lion website and I just have to make it! Luckily, the yarn that I choose to use for it was on sale at Michael's this week! And once I got the balance that was owed for making the dog quilt, I headed straight there!!!



I substituted a less expensive brand of yarn for the pattern, but I think that these colors are still true to the pattern. And of course, while I was at Michael's I looked around and found a few things that I had to have!



The Sugar 'N Cream is still on sale so I picked up a few more skeins to add to last week's purchases. I have knitting needles in size 7 and 9 so I picked up 8's and another skein on sale of a soft yarn for baby caps and more practice. The dish cloth book was on sale, too, and the patterns are very neat!

After all of the excitement at Michael's, I came home and finished the rest of the swap blocks, packaged up everything to be mailed out and straightened the bedroom up. Quite a productive few nights!
