So I am back!! I have been back at work (University professor) and am settling into my new routine. I have less time for crafting lately... Oh well, work keeps me in the lifestyle I have become accustomed to!
And a side note - my eyes have healed up perfectly and the doctor was pleased when I had my one month follow-up appointment a few days ago!
So my crafting updates:
1) Coffee Cantata (Sock Madness 10 Round 6 socks) - Zero progress here. I have not touched these in a month!!
2) Celtic Myths Shawl - this is coming along nicely, I have added several repeats on the edging and it is coming along nicely. I have spent a bit of my spare time on this one the past couple weeks.
3) Sock scrap-ghan - I have added a few more little squares to this project. I have 89 squares now and am still a long way fro being done! And I have a few ends to tuck in - I need to keep up with those so that it is not a daunting task later!
4) Bubbles Blanket - All done!!! This was finished back on September 3rd! It is so soft and squishy!!

Celtic knits shawl.......love love love it! Thar blanket does look all squishy. The color of the socks is so inviting. Now that your routine is ser, your crafting will pick back up. Those first few weeks of back to school ae hard on everyone; parents , kids and teachers/professors.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Getting back into the swing of work! Love my summers ♥
DeleteLove you celtic patterns. And yes, that bubble pattern looks uber squishy. Congrats on your sockyarn blanket. I am heading to the finish line with mine after nearly three years! Wishing you a good teaching year.
ReplyDeleteThanks! My sock yarn blanket has been in the works for a while and is far form done! Slow and steady!
DeleteYes, school is back in session! Fall is my favorite season though and I love the atmosphere on a college campus and/or town. I used to work in Iowa City where the U of I was located and the Iowa Hawkeye football team which I still follow. College towns are the best! I think they keep you young too! LOL! Your socks are gorgeous but they look complicated. The Celtic shawl is beautiful and I do love cables but haven't done too many. Love the cream color. I hope you are off to a great start and that you have wonderful students and a great year teaching. I still love learning at age 67!
ReplyDeleteThanks ♥
DeleteP.S. What pattern is your bubble blanket...so soft looking and pretty. Also, I had eye surgery twice for Graves disease and wondered what your eye surgery was? So glad you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteI had LASIK to correct my nearsightedness. Purely vanity :)
DeleteAnd I missed answering this - Bubbles pattern is http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bubbles-baby-blanket
DeleteThe bubbles blanket looks so comfy! It's hard getting use to things when routines change. I'm dealing with that too.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting used to the new schedule now - took about a month!
DeleteLove the close-up of the detail of the yarn you're using on the Bubbles Blanket. What a great name for that pattern. Glad to hear the Lasik surgery was a success and you're healing nicely.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The name is wonderful!!
DeleteYou are so productive and hoorah for teachers!
ReplyDeleteThanks ♥
DeleteGosh I love all your projects. I am so glad your eyes have healed well and yes as a teacher, I understand the trade off between time and money. Needs must!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteI'm so glad your eyes are all healed up and you can get back to life. I love your Celtic shawl and can't wait to see it as you get further along.
