I’m happy to join Kat and the Unravelers today. And guess what; I'm still knitting dishtowels! I'm almost finished with the hurdle stitch one, just a couple more inches to go. I thought I might get it completed yesterday, but Ryan and I ended up talking too much and I had to tink back four rows where I made a mistake. The conversation with my son was well worth a bit of tinking and reknitting.
I still have a dark purple nested squares towel in progress that I need to get back to after I finish this cream one. Then I think I am done with Christmas gift towels. I want to return to Justin's hat; there's just one badger left to stitch and then the hat will be complete. The weather is finally cool enough that my fingers don't get sticky stitching with wool yarn. But I still might need to make myself a dish towel now that I know which ones are my favorites.
What are you making this Wednesday in September?
That is such a lovely towel, Bonny! But I bet it will be even nicer to have Justin's hat finished! Last night, I skipped stitching for the John of John discussion (which was really excellent!!) and knit on my vest... I am closer to the back being finished!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that a good conversation with your son is worth having to tink a bit. If I were you, I'd get to stitching that badger while you can so you can cross it off your list -- if you can pull yourself away from the cotton! Thanks to our Zoom last night, I managed to get almost ready to turn the heel on my sock last night, so I will take care of that this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI really admire your dish towels Bonny! I wish I could knit or stitch on something when we have our Zoom meet-ups to discuss books like Kat and Sarah and others, but I can't seem to do that (or when watching anything on TV either). Get that badger done!!! I can't wait to see the finished hat.
ReplyDeleteYou have been a knitting whiz this summer, Bonny. I am truly impressed. I wanted to start a new stitching project, but I just can't get motivated in this 100 degree heat, every day. They say one more week, and I will believe it when I see it. Enough whining! I love that dishtowel, and I can't wait to see Justin's hat finished.
ReplyDeleteI'll take conversation over knitting progress any day . . . but it is rather a drag to have to (painstakingly, I'm sure . . . ) tink back four rows, whatever the reason. Those dish towels are splendid, Bonny. I'm tempted to knit some for myself . . . but I'm suddenly feeling a simple hat-knitting binge calling my name!
ReplyDeleteYour pile of towels must be so satisfying to see. Whenever it feels like I'm not accomplishing anything I go have a good look in my gift box of socks. There aren't enough feet in the family to wear them all but I'm like a miser with his pile of gold. I'll never have enough.
ReplyDeleteI am inordinately satisfied with my pile of towels! The pile sits here on my knitting chair, with four towels in it, and two more will be added. It gives me pleasure like your gift box!
