This is my first holiday gift of the season. I missed the Christmas party with my EGA chapter last week because of my cold. Before I headed home from work that night, I gave a friend who was going my presents to share and she gave hers to me. I love morning glories, so this is perfect! She lined the tin, too, so it will make a nice storage box for needlework tools.
She accompanied this with tasty treats: spicy-sweet almonds and candy coated pretzel sticks. I've been noshing on both and enjoying them. Over the past couple of weeks, my carry-along project was knit washcloths. The first one is square. The second is more of an oblong. I started out to make a hexagon but then began thinking about an oblong for back scrubbing so I made it as long as I could before running out of yarn.
I'm on a roll with these washcloths. My mom used to knit them endlessly and I can see why. I finished four rows while waiting during the mammogram process earlier this week. It kind of feels like something from nothing.
Hi Marjorie
ReplyDeletei have been reading, but very lax with commenting, sorry.
i enjoy crocheting washcloths and dishcloths - there is something to be said for actually finishing something occasionally.
something about your post struck me though - you only finished four rows while waiting for a mammogram?? either you are a very slow knitter OR the US system is way better than ours - last time I had a mammogram I could have knitted a sweater in the time I waited... btw - i hope it was just the routine checkup type of thing.

I didn't even have a chance to open my book when I went for my mammogram last Friday. My appointment was at noon and I was done by 12:15 and that included an explanation of how the mammograms are compared from year-to-year. It was my first digital mammogram. Kind of cool to be able to see it immediately. Of course, it didn't mean anything, because I wasn't seeing the comparisons. (I have received the results--I'm good. The colonoscopy was good too, although they removed one polyp and I am recommended to repeat in three years.)
