A Little Break
Dec 16th, 2008 by jae
Tink… tink… hello? anyone out there? How have you been?
I didn’t mean to be gone for so long, but . . . I guess I needed a break from the huge world wide web more than I realized. I haven’t been slacking or taking it easy though. There has been afghan square knitting for Knit Michigan, preparing a new design, preparing for new classes at the store, and an unexpected but much appreciated design submission acceptance. That is just the knitting part of my life. I’ve also been drinking studying wine and experimenting with dinner forced upon my captive audience discovering new recipes for my husband and I to try.
It is hard to believe that the time for Knit Michigan is almost here again. This year I volunteered to knit one of 25 squares that have become a blanket. A blanket that will be raffled off to raise money for this great cause. The afghan is always a work of art and I’m honored to be a part of it this year. If you are interested in purchasing a raffle ticket ($5 US), email me for details or leave a comment.
My square was a simple one and yet a very fun knit. Details: Square #18, The Great American Afghan Book
Yarn: Marks & Kattens Bomull, 1 skein
Needle: US8 (5.0mm)
I want to hear more about this design submission acceptance…. spill.
Wow, that’s a gorgoeous blanket and I love your kind of Op Art square!!
Wow…..that’s a gynormous project!!! That requires a lot of patience!
so glad to see you resurface!
Congratulations on the design acceptance Jae!!
Lucky husband too – good food is always fun.
Afghans like that are always an amazing work of art, how cool to be able to participate. I really need to learn more about Knit Michigan. Hopefully I will be able to bring my niece next year and we will both learn more. Let me know about the raffle, I’d be happy to participate. Thanks :)
