Quick Note

OK, I still need to post up the picture of Brooke's bowl and I hope to do that this weekend. I need to go to the yarn store tomorrow because I had forgotten I really wanted to make the next set of felted bowls with 2 strands of Cascade and only realized it after I felted a bowl I made with just 1 strand. It's a little sturdier than the ones done with 2 strands of fingering weight but not as sturdy as I want. So tomorrow I go buy another of the brown and another of the green. That's ok... I can make more bowls to give away with what's left. One lady asked for a LARGE bowl but since I don't know that pattern by heart, I think she may have to settle for small. The one I just did with 1 strand will go into the "gift giving" pile.

I have been working on something in myhead that I want to post. Hopefully I will get to that this weekend. It has warmed up significantly again so it's hard to knit for any length of time. I started a new project on Sunday which I haven't worked on in 2 days because of the heat. I will get to it, though. And I haven't worked on the scarf this week because it's been warm and for some unknown reason I have basically run out of time most nights by the time I get done with regular chores and trying to catch up on non-knitting things.

I'm beginning to think I need another knitter's weekend away. :)

If anyone has suggestions for quick, simple projects, please let me know. I ordered a pattern from KnitPicks for some washcloths thinking those will be fast projects. Now just need to decide on what to use. I have a little bit of green/white cotton that I have used in the past and some chenille which I have also used in the past but considering they don't stretch, I have to be careful making anything with that... especially the chenille. That's a lot harder to work with that I had hoped.

I need to find a project that I can do on size 11 straight needles... help me out friends! I want, desperately, to use my penguin needles and be able to take a picture of a project ON the needles to post here.

A special hello here to Kaylee who has become more than a secret pal... she's a great friend. I really made out well with SP8! Just wish she could attend one of our KC or CHAMPS sessions. I think y'all would like her. Whaddya say Linda, Roni, Julie and Marsha... can we add her in spirit?
