You are probably wondering if I'm getting close to finishing all my squares for the Pine Street Inn Knit-a-thon. Well I have added a few to my pile. Total count so far is 24 squares. I need 35 to complete a blanket and I so want to reach my goal. With 7 days left to knit eleven more squares...I'll be sure and do my best.
I'm should I would have, should have had more done by now but I had a request from my college freshman son: a hand knit hat! How could I refuse a request like that. My needles knit as fast as I could possibly knit and I had the hat ready for him in less than a week. He was pleased with it and hopefully it will keep his head and ears warm on his early morning walks to his classes. I used my favorite hat pattern and some Paton's Classic Wool, by the way:

Now I had better get away from this computer and get going knitting the rest of the squares! Next Sunday is the big event at the Massachusetts State House...can't wait :)
Until next time...happy knitting :)

ReplyDeleteYour squares look great. I hope that you get them all done in time. I love the hat. I would have dropped everything too.
ReplyDeleteYour son looks like he already enjoys the hat!!
ReplyDeleteI truly hope that you reach your goal with your squares and I would love to see the blanket once it is put together.
Beautiful hat!! I know you'll get your squares completed, and please let me know how the Boston knit-a-thon goes!!
ReplyDeleteWe're just getting started here--just trying to meet some basic needs--and this morning--well, it is 24 degrees--and all I could think about is how it would be to sleep outside in this cold instead of a warm home....
