the blue blog archives: get back to where you once belonged

Elizabeth is back on the needles, finally. I've begun reknitting the back and have completed the edging and short row shaping. Here's my progress so far (and here's a close-up of the detail that I love so much!). The yarn survived its wash and straighten process and feels good. I'm really enjoying knitting with it again. This is a great way to enjoy using this yarn some more without destroying my budget!

And I finished the second of the eight planned stripey baby socks. Here they are so far. I still haven't decided if I want to make matching pairs or not. What do you think?

Alison--this is a great website! Thanks for all your kind words. That you have started again on Elizabeth is so impressive--what I consider the actions of a "true knitter" (like me, who would banish it to a spot under the bed). Anyway, I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday!

Thanks so much for your lovely comments-they really made my day! I love the tiger hat (I'm thinking of doing something similar for Alice to be a cat)I hadn't thought of going through the ring, starting from me, so I'm glad you camr to visit! Maybe we can gossip over the back fence...

O my stars! You have TWINS! Please accept this free membership to Saintly Mamas Monthly...OK so I'm kidding but a mother of twins gets much respect from me.
