Well, only two.
So I turned to my old standby Mary Lamb Baby Book Vol. 30 (twenty cents!)
pattern 3006. I've done this pattern before a few times so I felt quite
confident with it and it's going well. I'm about two/thirds of the way
through the blanket in variegated wool: white, pale blue and pale green.
I've got my next project lined up as well: 3013. It looks the easiest of
two I thought would be quick knits. That one is in yellow because the
nursery is yellow. I'm hoping to adapt 3027 to this pattern--should be
simple, but these days I can never tell what's going to work for me and what
isn't--as it's more of tuque style.
Someday I'd like to be able to say I've knitted all the patterns in this
book. It's one of my favorites. I think it was one of my grandmother's.
That might be a goal for next year! I used to make baby blankets regularly
and so had some in stock whenever a new little person arrived, but I haven't
done that in years. Knitting sure is different for me these days.
I love reading about all the beautiful things you all are making. I don't
post a lot, but I lurk and always head straight for the new or finished
project threads.

Heh, wouldn't be the first time someone posted to the wrong thread <g>
Good on the baby blankets. I just finished a Baby Surprise jacket for
Liz's (Liz from ABSK) soon-to-arrive granddaughter. I'm also working on
another pair of socks (Wanida, from Cookie A's "Sock Innovation" book),
a Girasole shawl in fingering weight yarn, and sweater #7 for the
National Knit a Sweater a Month Dodecathon group on Ravelry. I also
have my first Girasole waiting to be blocked, and I have a couple
sweaters that only need to be seamed together, but as I hate seaming
these may be waiting a very long time...

Hi Kim!
Wow, you're so industrious! What is a Girasole? Knitting a sweater a
month! I can't even imagine that. What a sense of accomplishment you must
have as you see them all lined up. Do you pick your own patterns or do they
offer patterns--how does it work?
I'm like you, the seaming and the weaving of loose ends is my least favorite
part of knitting, though, I do love to see what I've been working on all
finished and pretty.
Did Liz go by a different name? My memory of the "old" ABSK days is
waining. I do pop in from time to time and if I have something to say I
post, otherwise I just lurk. Kind of like rcty. I think I'm getting old.
;-))

I'm a lurker here to. I can't do half the things the regulars post and
talk about but I enjoy checking this group out nonetheless.
