What are you knitting at the moment?

Just finished knitting a tiny waistcoat (and it is tiny!) for a friends great grandchild due soon.

I have been reading about a 'temperature blanket' where you knit one row every day for a year of a colour which relates to the temperature.

Hi everyone! Margaret's gilet pattern has arrived in the mail! Complete with a photograph. And it is lovely. As soon as I get a chance I will put it on this thread.

Thank you, Margaret.

Love the knitting cat! It's the smile on its face.
I'm using up odd balls of wool at present and trying out making 'flowers'. I spend more time undoing knitting rather than finishing it but I do enjoy it.

Halfway through a Gryffindor scarf for my friend's daughter! Have a feeling this won't be the last Harry Potter themed project ha!

Grannyknot Oh how wonderful, the knitting cat, my first chuckle of the day!!!!

He can come and finish all my UFOs (unfinished objects)

Grannyknot, I love the knitting cat, especially as he can knit with his eyes closed. Clever boy.

Ethel .

Oh - Isee my first attempt at posting the pic worked, it was just slow!

Oops it didn't. Oh well, here's the link instead

Hi granny knot. I meant scarf. No specs on

A bit of fun - "the knitter's cat" (hope it works).

Well done. Who knows if anyone will want this sweater, it may go off to a charity. If I ever finish it that is.

Jalima1108 you are so right, so many interesting things on here. I did finish all my Christmas projects, the last one on the 2nd January, luckily the friend it was for didn’t visit until the 3rd! Apart from the chunky wool waiting to be started on, I’m just finishing a prem baby jacket, just before Christmas I took 40 prem baby hats to the local maternity unit.

Glitterknitbaby - it's not the iPad itself, it's what you find on here
Sweater still not finished (bored with it now though) and longing to start something else.

My iPad was the best and worst thing that ever happened to me. At least I used to get on with my knitting and get things finished, but not anymore. Last Saturday I bought a load of chunky yarn at the craft shop to make myself a winter sweater, not even looked at it since I brought it through the door

Ethel is it a cross between a skirt and a scarf? (Only pulling your leg)

Hi all - Margaret is kindly sending me the written version of her gilet pattern in the post, and I will post it on this thread.

A huge pink florescent scart. I did not know what elso to do with the yarn

Thanks for the interest in my Gilet. I am willing to send the instructions but not on -line
I have replied to Grannyknot this afternoon

I haven't come across that before, it would be quite nice for knitted squares as well.

I have tried out various different stitches when knitting squares - it's a good way of finding out what you like doing - or not.

Here's the YouTube for Andalusian Stitch:

When I knit the baby Excavation Blankets - I knit it in garter stitch and chunky wool which makes it wonderfully stretchy and springy and therefore cosy (I don't use acrylic wool, only ever a wool mix or similar).

I also knit baby blankets in Andalusian Stitch - which is knitting a purl stitch every so often at regular intervals - Google will tell you how - and that makes a waffle effect and reduces boredom of knitting in stocking stitch only. I'm busy on one at the moment, white with a grey scallop crochet edge. Will post a pic when I get around to it.

I like the excavation blanket, nice change from plain squares to use up oddments.
I'm mid way through a cardi, back and one fron completed and second front half done. Just a simple pattern, no shaping to body pieces other than a slight decreased neckline. It's a freebie pattern, just really for something to do when watching telly.
