A pair of red mittens that have been languishing unfinished in my knitting basket since November. Pattern is ‘The World's Simplest Mittens’ by Tin Can Knits. I believe I downloaded the pattern from Ravelry. If I didn’t have anything else to do, I think I would knit more using up some of my odd balls of yarn. However, the quilt ufo project is tops on my current list.
Socks have been knit for a couple of days, just closed the toes today. Knit Picks Stroll yarn, color: butternut.
I’m still making all the socks with a hung hem and 3x1 mock rib. I went to a zoom meeting today with 20 or so other sock knitters. One of the things talked about was using the ribbing attachment. I think that will be next. I will try to fit in some practice knitting into quilt finishing. This week's quilt is on schedule. I just
need to sew the binding down by machine.
Panic time this morning. I took out the paper tray in the printer to add some light cardstock that I just got. I wanted to print out some things to use in a junk journal. When I put the tray back in, it wouldn’t go all the way in. I thought maybe i'd need a new printer and all the hassle of connecting it to print wirelessly. But, hold on. Don’t be so hasty. Google to the rescue. I wasn’t the only person with this problem. There’s a button in the paper tray that you can push if you want to print legal size paper. Apparently I hit that button when I took the tray out. Pushing that button elongates the tray so you think it isn’t all the way in. Easy fix. Push the button and get the tray back to its regular size. Problem solved.
I don’t think I’ll put pictures of all the large tumbler quilts. After awhile they all kind of look the same. And I have at least 6 more to finish up. They measure 54” x 73”, a good size for charity donations.
And............I’m finding myself lusting after the 4” tumbler die. I’ll try to hold off because my current rule is to concentrate on finishing ufo's, not starting new ones.
This is a small quilt. Small tumblers. I have many quilts that I want to get finished this year.
