Gettin my knit on

Finally! Just like Kris, I too have gotten my knit-on.

I started on glove number two for Josh. The first one fits perfect and the second one just seemed to grow width-wise in the palm, so it is being reforged. Yes.

I also made some yarn purchases. I have resisted buying anything other than 100% cotton yarn for things for the kitchen. However, I bought some lovely wool/cotton blend at 70% off today. I got eleven skeins in salmon (or at least that is what the lady standing behind me told me) for a possible second and lighter Rogue* (or anything else) and five skeins in pink. I’m actually tempted to try over dying the salmon. I am going to play around with colors and a few strands here and there. Oh, and I decided that if I do Rogue again, I’m not doing the pocket. I never use it on my wool one as it is.

And I also need to knit a table runner and some place mats for the kitchen table. Josh has finished it and now it needs accessories. I will try for pictures tomorrow, though the chairs aren’t done yet. I know you all will get over that.

*It’s too hot here too much to wear my wool Rogue very long. I have seen and heard of a number of people using wool/cotton blends for Rogue. I’m crossing my fingers.
