[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

Hi Jolene.  I’m so sorry you’re in pain.  And no harm in hibernating.  I’m doing that myself.  Take it easy and take care of yourself.

That sounds like a good use for a Pringles can.  Does your cover have a Pringles theme?  Waviness, perhaps?

I am making a cover for a Pringles can for someone’s knitting needles, smile.

Yay!  Isn’t it nice when you make up your mind to something and get rolling?!

I finally settled on a pattern that I am satisfied with for a Dallas Cowboys scarf that I am making on the total of 24 peg long loom.

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.

 

I’ve made all the pieces of my leprechaun and can start sewing him together, though I might make him arms so he can hold a pot of gold.  The pattern doesn’t have arms, but they should be easy.  I could knit them as I-cord, instead of crocheting.

I also cast on a throw, though I’m cutting down the pattern from being a whole afghan.  The original pattern has a border that’s knit separate and sewn on all around.  That sounds like a lot of work.  I’m thinking about what I can just knit on as I go.  And figuring out what to leave out when I shrink the pattern.  The perils of deciding not to follow a pattern exactly.
