This past week has been cold, below zero temps the other day. It’s not possible to walk, so I had to find “something” to do.
Joann Fabric had a huge yarn sale. I decided, time to knit a blanket. It’s coming along. I feel a bit like a granny. Since it will be big, it might take until Fall to complete, depends on how much time I commit to it.
While knitting, I’ve been watching Top Chef on Netflix. I didn’t know that show was still on. As they race against the clock competing, it keeps me going. Keep knitting – one more row, one more row!
Right now, I have dark grey and this light blue color. I’m trying to decide, stay with those two colors only or add this purple violet color. I’m always drawn to bright colors versus earth tones.
I’m amused when I go on a train or bus and see people knitting/crocheting. It does take time, we have to use every minute to get the project done!
Do you have a winter project?

Those are nice colors. I think the purple would be nice, too. My daughter crochets all the time. That’s something I never learned how to do and I don’t know where or how she learned.

When I was young, I crocheted a lot of granny squares. Of course, I’ve forgotten how to crochet, but I’ve been meaning to learn again.

The only thing I’ve done was knit with my mom, cotton dish rags.

I am already collecting balls of wool for my winter knitting. I only learned how last year, and only 1 stitch, but I can still create half a dozen scarves for the homeless.

I tend to do just the one stitch. I tried other stitches, but the problem was, if I didn’t complete the project and tried to go back to it a few months later, I completely forgot what I was doing. LOL… with one stitch, life is easy.

my mother was a great knitter. I never enjoyed knitting. I have lots of hobbies but not knitting. I love the purple.

Ok, thanks for the thumbs up on purple. It’s interesting, isn’t it. My Italian grandmother was so good at sewing, knitting, needle point, etc. My mother had no interest in any of that, she did like cooking. Sometimes things skip a generation or so, then come back, right.

I’ve heard enough references to Joann Fabric lately to realize the close of the business that will send painful shock waves across the country. Like clothing, shopping online for fabric and such is not the same as the in-person experience.
