I’ve pretty much abanonded my knitting blog (Knit+Mom=Knitnmom). With the advent of Ravelry (YEAH!!), there just isn’t the need for a separate blog. FWIW, I still HIGHLY recommend WordPress for anyone who wants to start a blog.
So, I moved all my knitting posts, categories and my progress bars over here about a week ago. And, from time to time you will see what I’ve been knitting!
Right now, I’m knitting a sweater for me (sorry – I think you have to be in Ravelry to see that link). It’s knit side-to-side in a super soft gray – it reminds me of an old sweatshirt. I can’t WAIT for it to be done!
I’ve put Brett’s families Jayne hats in time out as the moths ate the yarn – boo hoo!
I have some camo yarn that I want to make the boys new hats but I realized I need to do a Christmas Stocking for JGirl. The last few years I’ve been knitting stockings for my newer nieces and nephews – keeping up the tradition my Grandma W started in our family. I’d done my own style but last year I found that someone had reprinted the patterns that my Grandma W based her stockings on. As Eric & I, J1 and J2 have stockings from Grandma W and J3 has a knit one with a train….we’d like hers to match ours more. So I’m going to start her stocking today but it’s a new pattern….written in the 1940s or 50s and it’s SUPER small print. I’m not feeling very hopeful.  I can always go back to the pattern I’ve been using but I’d be disappointed. I’ll keep you posted on my progress! Maybe even get some photos taken today!
