<\/p>\nWe are having winter today-<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It was cold in my studio, but it was cold everywhere else too, so I worked anyway.<\/p>\n
Here is the one week update on my blanket project-![\"117week1.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/117week1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
technical information – I cast on 155 stitches with worsted weight wool. I am doing only garter stitch. I am using size 10.5 plastic circular needles, 29 inches long. It is about 50 inches wide and so far about 18″ long. It weighs 1\/2 pound so far. My design- knit irregular rows (ie 3 or 5 rows of each color except when I run out of yarn), 2 shades of similar colors and a dark brown stripe between. The goal- use up what I already have.<\/p>\n
I am working on Valentines with several thoughts in mind. I am thinking of doing the cafepress cards. And several galleries I know are having small works February Valentine’s themed shows- some for charity, some not. We’ll see where I end up going. These are similar to ones I’ve done before-<\/p>\n
