Got downstairs for a little bit this afternoon and quilted the Baby Animal Happy Block top. It’s been loaded and waiting so it’s nice to have it quilted.
Pantograph is Happy Times
I’m not finished with the red shell stitch blanket … I keep deciding on adding a few more rows … but I started another blanket last night to work on during the Lightning game …. The Bolts won and the blanket is coming along.
I guess I’ve moved into blanket season but there will still be some hat knitting too … just at a slower pace. I’m usually much better about knitting the 2nd hat from the skeins large enough for two but the basket is full. Some I have a 2nd skein and I’ll pair up the leftovers with them – should get 3 hats from those 2 skeins … and the other’s I’ll try to get cast on and knit over time so I can start fresh in the fall.
For now there will continue to be more knitting and crochet than sewing I think. I’m having some cardiac side effects from the chemo and am set to go to the cardiologist in a week. Unfortunately, the oncologist has delayed my last chemo round until after I’m seen. I was hoping to get that over and done but I guess it’s ok to be cautious.
For now I’ll work on what I can – I can’t tell you how good it is to have my knitting and crochet for the times I’m not up to sewing and quilting. I NEED to stay busy and they help a lot!
Hoping the cardiologist has an easy “fix” so you can finish the chemo. It always seems like (at times) there’s one step forward and 2 steps back. Prayers for you.
Mary – sorry it’s been a year since I last commented, although I have been reading all your emails. My new year resolution is to start commenting again on a few other blogs as well. I’ve no good excuse, just got out of the habit as life got in the way I guess.
Wishing you and your family a healthy and happy New Year 2026 🙂
