I’m happy to join Kat and the Unravelers today with some less-than-exciting knitting. The kitchen towel is back, and it’s now a bit longer than the last time you saw it.
I’ve been on a roll with this project. The knitting is both wonderfully mindless and relaxing, making it easy to pick up throughout the day. I’ve worked on it outside while listening to the birds and using Merlin, while waiting for loads of laundry to finish, and even at the auto body shop.
John had a car accident last week (he’s okay), but he left for a fishing trip this week, so I had to meet the insurance adjuster at the body shop while he inspected the damage. The knitting may not be exciting, but this towel has been getting around.
Later this afternoon, I’m taking it with me to Justin and Jess’s house, where I’ll be checking on my grand-kitties, Nugget and Fletch. The towel may be clamoring for even more adventures before it’s finally finished.
What are you making this Wednesday in June?
Ha! A well-traveled towel. It's very pretty and such a. lovely shade of blue. So, Justin and Jess have a second cat named Fletch??!!??!! My eye doctor has several cats and one of them is named Fletcher. I'm enjoying this incredible weather - betting I'll be outside with Iris at least for part of the day today.
ReplyDeleteI love this Traveling Towel's adventures! (and it is looking great!) I had hoped on doing some knitting outside this afternoon but it very much smells like rain outside. I am sorry to read about John's auto incident and how fortunate that he has you to do all the follow up. I hope you have a fun visit with Nugget and Fletch!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like some very meditative knitting, which I'm sure is welcome when dealing with insurance and car repairs. I hope you have a nice visit with the grand-kitties! I'm currently knitting only a pair of socks, because frankly I'm feeling a little uninspired and am not sure what to make next. It's a strange feeling for me!
ReplyDeleteMaking a finish (I hope) soon to the renovated house. There are always unexpected delays. Making a routine with Wink. I love the dishtowel, and it's great that you have some knitting that can travel with you. Enjoy your "me" time; do something just for you, Bonny. Merlin? I will show my ignorance and ask what this is.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous-looking kitchen towel, Bonny! I love the little ridge-y/stripe thing. What a perfect detail for a towel. I love portable knitting that can accompany you while-you-wait!
ReplyDeleteThat will be a great looking towel. I'm sorry about John's accident. Even with no injuries and good insurance, there's a lot of inconvenience involved. I'm knitting a cardigan I'm calling Amsterdam, because it's using some souvenir yarn from Stephen and Penelope in Amsterdam. I probably should do an in-progress blog post before it's done.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought about knitting a towel but that looks great. Tbh my woven towels, while very pretty, leave a lot to be desired when it comes to being useful. Your towel looks like it could do the job.
ReplyDeleteI hope the towel is large and absorbent. I had originally pictured knitting a stack of them, but I don't know how large that stack will be.
DeleteI love a summer project that goes on adventures. Although the body shop doesn't sound like all that much fun. I'm cruising along with my shawl and mitts although I'm about to focus on the shawl to see if I can finish it soon. I also have a new spinning project on the wheel.
ReplyDeleteAdventures of a Blue Dish Towel!! I haven't actually been making much, but I am figuring out some things. I have to cast on the sleeves for my cardigan, but am dreading the ribbing. I had jury duty this month & had to report yesterday -- my first time ever in a courtroom. I didn't bring my knitting (dumb). We didn't have to stay, but we waited for quite a while -- an hour of otherwise very boring knitting time down the drain (I've been toting around a Musselburgh hat for a couple of years).
ReplyDeleteI am just about to sit down with some cross stitch.
ReplyDeleteSorry about John's accident. Glad to hear that HE is okay and hope the car isn't too bad.
The towel ... really pretty. I love how you put in the stockinette band. Makes it look like a "proper" towel. LOL
Love the towel! It's perfeect "waiting for a claims asjuster" knitting. How do people wait for things who don't knit???!!!
ReplyDeleteI have often wondered that same thing myself!
