When my Nana (surrogate grandmother) passed away many years ago her daughter gave me a few things to remember her by. One of those things was her small stash of oddballs. Most of the wool I've used to make hats for the Afghans. The acrylic I use for provisional cast-ons, stitch holders, and such. They are the colors of all the cardigans she wore over the years and provide great memories.MaureenTakomanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-19396646131413859932009-09-28T15:46:52.412+01:002009-09-28T15:46:52.412+01:00I started to do the mitered blanket in sock yarn a...I started to do the mitered blanket in sock yarn and, lo and behold, it morphed into a shawl....once I had a bit of it done, I was showing it to my life-long friends and, for some reason,<br />threw it around my shoulders--and the unanimous agreement was that it would make a stunning shawl...<br />the squares automatically form into a triangular shape, but I'm playing with the edges to see how I want to "stairstep" down the sides and whether I want it to come to a point or have three or four squares across the bottom....keeps me thinking.<br />Griswold is beautiful...Marthanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-6970794364982817192009-09-28T14:17:53.413+01:002009-09-28T14:17:53.413+01:00You have jolted me into action.

I've some very sorry specimens on my latest post, from some old snaps, and was sorry I didn't know more years ago. Of course, I didn't have a digital camera 15 years ago either!Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-49115818473519115762009-09-28T13:39:56.020+01:002009-09-28T13:39:56.020+01:00My mom makes her "wacky" socks with left...My mom makes her "wacky" socks with leftover sock yarn- using different colors for different parts of the sock.

It WAS a happy day.<br /><br />I haven't knit socks in more than one year, being involved in Princess, etc, and happily dug out my arch shaped pattern yesterday. I also looked at Grumperina's blog, which I forgot to add to my new computer's favorites list, and she discusses the Reversible Knitting book that you've ordered. Looks like a great book.<br /><br />Oh yes, I'm also knitting a mitered sock odd ball blanket. Do you think we're living parallel lives on different continents?<br /><br />I certainly hope that 2009 wasn't your last visit to the US. You can always come stay with me if we plan our times right. I'm even tempted to attend the knitting camp in Scotland next summer!Cynthianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-45241795263207294282009-09-28T09:23:41.224+01:002009-09-28T09:23:41.224+01:00I agree that that Kaffe Fassett yarn is a dream to...I agree that that Kaffe Fassett yarn is a dream to knit with. I have some socks all ready to give to my female family members in Seattle.<br /><br />Thank you for reminding me about the Florence Griswold Museum - I'll be in Connecticut this weekend and will try to get there.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193395027474680289noreply@blogger.com
