[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

[Debra Trevino]

If you have a latch hook, it can be used to "ladder" up from preceding rows of knit or purl.

I have trouble with an afghan which uses yarn overs to increase every fourth row and then decreasing with P2 together on another row. The islets are lovely but the pattern requires some concentration to be sure you don't drop any of those YO's.

Sonia, that's great!  Finishing 2 projects in 1 week, and already figuring out how to modify a pattern to suit yourself!  And learning how to pick up a dropped stitch!  It took me a long time to figure that out, and I still have to think about it.  Get that purl down, and you can join my snowman square class and make a raised picture.

Hi!

I'm on "staycation" and my mother in law was there all week. This meant a lot of knitting and talk of knitting. Plus, she is a wonderful woman and always a pleasure to have around.

She leaves tomorrow morning and tomorrow I'll read all the awesome successes of this thread.
.

For me, it was a very productive week, knitting wise!

- I finished my 20 inches Granny square that I made as a blanket for our cat. She loves it. I originally miscalculated and was doing it too big for the seat it was  supposed to cover. But now it's perfect! :)
-   I finally made the potato chip scarf of Chapter 2 of the Touch the Yarn book. I love it, already thinking of tweaking the pattern a bit to make it a tad longer. And make another one.
- I learned how to recover a dropped stitch that dropped one row. I know the theory of how to recover the stitch when it dropped several rows but didn't succeeded doing it. Yet. :)  Still, I'm very pleased with the progress. My mother-in-law was impressed.
-
All that before re-learning to pearl. Pretty much the next step.

Thank you to all who helped me get this far. And the constant encouragements of others.

Happy crafting!

Sonya)

Good Morning Tracy, that garden sounds like it will be beautiful, and, one that the neighbors and neighborhood will enjoy as well as the birds, bees and butterflies. Let us know how it turns out and who comes to "visit" it.

It's Successful Saturday!  Have you started or finished a project, or achieved a goal?  Share it with us and we'll celebrate with you.



For a few months I've been working on a plan to convert almost all of my front lawn into a garden for birds and pollinators, full of flowers and ornamental grasses.  I've figured out the design, and this last week I ordered most of the plants.  It wasn't cheap, but it will be beautiful for many years.  My plants will arrive in about a month, and then I'll arrange them and start putting them in the ground.  I'm very excited about it.

Tracy
