Knitterly goodness
So on Friday, I got two incredible rushes.
One is that the baby blanket that I started on March 31 or so (give or take a day) is finished. It's not blocked yet, so no pictures. I did, however, beat the mother of the baby that it is possibly going to (no definitive statements, as I don't want to step on anyone's superstitions). It is the first large project that I have cast on and then knit to the finish without interruptions.
The other was that I taught someone how to do something. I was sitting at my LYS*, busily knitting the last few rows, and someone looked at the blanket, and decided they would start one. I showed her which yarn I was using, and told her to tell one of the girls that owns the store that she was going to knit this project. She got the pattern, got Shaina to show her how she casts on (which is a nicer cast-on than mine), and then turned to me and said "what's seed stitch?" Since, after this blanket, I am now an expert on seed stitch (I do think highly of myself), I showed her the basic stitch pattern, and how to know where she was in it. The owners didn't teach her seed stitch, I did. And that was so awesome.
Now back to the regularly scheduled ADD style knitting of the following projects - afghift (afghan that is a going away present for the family that I used to live with who is making aliyah), a striped cotton polo shirt for myself, and my socks. Hopefully someone will buy me a digital camera for my upcoming birthday, and we can get some pictures up here!
