YOP Week #32


Well, this has been a week of modem problems and now low memory so it seems my multi-tasking on my pc will be curtailed until I can do a scan (takes an hour at the least).  I apologize to my Ravelry friends that I did not get over to visit last week so I will do double-duty today.  The weather has also turned extremely nice here (70's today) so I will be outside for sure!
I'm into cleaning, organizing and finishing (all over my house) so my YOP updates will probably be a little boring until I catch up in all areas but hopefully my projects will go faster now too.  Although, I only knit when I take a break from cleaning and organizing and daily tasks throughout the day and I only crochet in the evenings when I'm "tuckered out".
The knitting project to finish now is my small blanket.....I have 27 of 55 blocks done so far
This week I managed to get the 4 blocks done on the bottom there....the large yellow, the small brown and gray and the rectangular variegated.
As for the crochet, I am concentrating on catching up with the preemie hats which I thought I had completed November until I realized I had gone "off the tracks" and crocheted a bunch of little girl ones when what was needed were hats for boys so number wise I am in December but  set wise I need to back up to November and do a boy's set....I got a little carried away ie; I wasn't paying attention. LOL!
But I can tell I am gaining ground and hopefully my WIP's will slowly but surely become FO's!
I hope you had a great week and are enjoying your weekend!
Happy Trails!

  1. Oh 70s weather sounds like a dream. Gavin is flying out to Miami later this week, so at least he'll get some sun! We're nothing but grey skies and snow!

    Funny to see all those pink preemie hats. Seems like I've been knitting nothing but blue and green for the last while. I was just thinking it was about time for some "spring" colours in my knitting!

    1. Yes, the dogs are shedding big time so I think it's going to be an early Spring this year.
      Gavin isn't taking you with him? He should at least bring you some Miami fiber! LOL!

    1. I'm trying to get my house ready to sell some day! My next house will be my last so I can let the housework go and knit/crochet ad infinitum! LOL!

    1. Good for you! As long as the weather holds I'll be out in the garage and then there's the yard. Ha! Ha!

  4. I like the blanket idea, I saw a video on You Tube about knitting something like that and promptly put it on the 'back burner' to definitely try in the future!

    1. I like things like that because it's good way to get rid of odds and ends of yarn. This one was planned but my next one will be using up stash.

  5. I like your blanket and the variety of yarns and squares you're making. I must have missed the post about the baby hats. Are you making them for a particular project? We have 60's today and I'm getting ready to take my dog for a nice long walk. I love spring weather in February!
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    1. Hi Betsy. Yes, I am making 52 hats (one for each week of the year) for the Neonatal Unit at the hospital where my grandson was born (prematurely). He's a healthy, very smart 7 year old now but I'd been wanting to "give back" and when I found the Ravelry Group from the very hospital where he was born in Iowa, I knew it was the answer to my prayers. So, I'll probably be doing this every year from now on. My daughter visits in July so once a year I will give them to her to take to the hospital where Sam was born.
      So glad you're enjoying some nice weather too!

  6. If you keep going the way you are your wip's will all definitely be FO's. The blanket is coming along lovely, such restful colours.

  7. Nice projects. We had a warm up yesterday, but it's very chilly out today. It's a good day to work on something (as well as clean something).

  8. I like those variegated browns. They remind me of these Chinese, elephant ear cookies we get once in a blue moon. They also remind me of mushrooms or the inside of a shell.
