Weekend Knit

This summer has not been very good for knitting for me.

One, it has been just two darn hot and humid to do ANYTHING, so most activities have been kaboshed for just trying to keep the house presentable.

Two, my two projects have been just dragging on and on.  I gave away the needles for the Hue Shift Afghan to one of the knitters at the nursing home, because she needed to make a gauge swatch and I will set myself on fire to keep someone warm. My knit along - Part of my 16 in 2016 - has been a little disappointing...

It's supposed to be a mermaid tail blanket, but it's not SNUGGLY enough. I purposefully made a child's large, because I'm small, but I still don't like it. With the fact that they are selling for $20 online... it just feels like a waste of time. But it's really close to being finished, which will be nice.

So, in true knitter fashion, I'm picking up a totally new project. One of the supervisor's at work is having his first grandchild in October, so why not make a baby sweater? They're fun, easy, and I can finish it in a weekend with no problem - especially this weekend, which was a game night, a party, another game night, and then MORE dungeons and dragons. Not to mention we have to drive to all these social activities, so there's knitting time there, too.

If all goes well, I'll have another project Monday to show you. Wish me luck!
