Blankets take a long time to knit!

I said I would update you all on my knitting today! Here it is. As you can tell by the title of the post I am working on Bobby's blanket still. I feel like it's never going to be finished because blankets take a long time to knit!

At least for me blankets take forever! I started out pretty good. I was making good progress. Then I started sitting it down after each row. Now I tend to sit it down in the middle of a row. I get so sleepy! I really would like to get this blanket finished for Bobby. It was supposed to be a birthday present, started after his birthday, but still a birthday gift. Now it's kind of moved on to a maybe Christmas present.

I also have to start on another blanket soon for Serenity. In neon, headache inducing colors of Caron Simply Soft. This one will be made in four parts and then, hopefully, seamed together. I am not very good at seeming yet. We'll see how well it works out.

I also started a pair of socks months ago that have gotten no love. I thought they would be done by now but I am barely past the toe of them. I am about ready to start working on them occasionally, whenever the blanket becomes too much for my sanity.

there is a little bit of lacework showing. It should be pretty if I ever get done

Also, another thing I started months ago has received no attention for a long time. It started out as a sock, but then I decided that since it was too big and I don't know if I could felt it down just enough to fit me, it would become a draft blocker. I have never felted anything before, and I don't know anything about it. This just seemed easier to do, plus we have a gap under our front door. Two birds and all that jazz! I think the color will work well in our living room against the front door and I will be proud every time I notice that their isn't a draft blowing across my feet.

I have a couple of cross stitch projects that I had been working on this summer. Once again, they haven't had anything done to them in months! I have been horrible I guess. The one I was really enjoying working on, the Dolly Mamas design, just sits on my desk, glaring at me. The other is a stamped cross stitch bib that I was going to give to a friend at her baby shower and I only managed to do a few rows before I hid it away in a project bag. I am disgusted with my laziness!

Oh well, I am used to it. I did manage to give the girl a knitted blanket and some other gifts, so I didn't show up empty handed. I also have managed a few FOs this year in my knitting, so I guess I'm not too horrible!

I hear my kids coming in the door wanting dinner, so I'm off of here for now. Thank you all for sticking with me through all my lack of posting, then all the sweepstakes posts, and now my lack of progress! I appreciate you all!

Until next time, my ever tangled tanglers......     Happy Crafting!
