Wow, having the opportunity to show weekly progress was really great for motivating me! And it didn't hurt that I had to do the mitten to do the hat and I had a little boy badgering me for his hat. It's almost done and then I'll finish that first mitten by putting the thumb on.
I loved both books that were pictured last week. I even did some cleaning with some of the formulas from The Naturally Clean Home and was very impressed with the results. I even ordered a copy for myself and a couple for Christmas gifts.
So for this week it's just my planner (because I'm working to find balance and) because I'm counting the days until my next big shipment of books comes in at the library! (And also a couple others I ordered used from Amazon.)
Make sure to visit Ginny to see all of the other great inspiration!
Yeah, me too!! The Yarn Along really motivates me to have make some progress in my knitting =) Nice looking hats & mittens!
ReplyDeleteDiane, we still don't have phone! I hope you got my email. If you still have questions, maybe I could answer them in an email. Your knitting looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe Yarn Along motivated me as well, but we still had a Confirmation to prepare for and lots of kiddos who needed this, that, or the other thing so it doesn't look like I got far at all...but, I'm happy with it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the green hat! Your knitting is so neat and even, beautiful!
Your mitten and hat look so cozy. They are two of may favorite things to knit. I am going to take a closer look at the two books you recomended, I am hoping that I can get them through the library. They look very good. And you are right about the motivation this meme is creating. Of course it is creating a very long reading list as well.

My little guy want his hat finished too. Thankfully we live in the south that hat weather is not fully upon us!

Your hat is perfect and I love the mitten yarn, so cheery :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, everybody! And yes, the reading list is growing by leaps and bounds (as is the project list)!
ReplyDeleteI've now finished the hat and he's thrilled to pieces. Doesn't that just make it all worthwhile? ;)
