WIP um… Thursday

I blame the lateness of this post on it being a Leap Year. I knew I had to post on 1st March; it’s not my fault it’s a day late.

I am feeling a little bit lost after finishing Lauriel. This often happens to me after finishing a big project. I invested so much time into it that now it’s done, I feel a bit meh. I did make a yarn choice for Laika, though, and will post photos when it arrives.

In the meantime, I have Mr B’s socks to finish, and another nicely mindless project as well. Last week, I was contacted on Ravelry by knitphomaniac to see if I’d be interested in knitting a baby blanket. She is hoping to collect thirty baby blankets by the end of June for charity.

You know, I just didn’t appreciate how many baby blanket patterns there are on Ravelry! It took hours to just look through them all, before I decided on a few patterns I liked, cast on for a couple of them, frogged them and then settled on the Sunny Baby Blanket. It’s a supremely easy pattern but still looks a bit special. I’m using some Patons Shetland Chunky which has been living right at the bottom of my stash for the best part of seven years and needs a good home.

And I think that by the time I’ve finished the blanket and the socks that I’ll be ready to knit another cardigan for me again.
