Hello Friends,
I hope you are all doing well. Yesterday I went with my dad to Evergreen Brick Works for a second time this summer to ride our bikes on the trails. We were cycling for quite awhile and I was getting pretty tired, but it was such a good workout. I was happy the weather was so nice yesterday too, it was sunny all day and warm. Today we are expecting some showers soon, and maybe a thunderstorm.
I finished knitting the second sleeve for the sweater! so now I am finished all the pieces for my 3timesChic sweater. It feels great to be done knitting all the pieces. Next, I will have to cold block all the pieces and then seam them together. I still need to pick up some blocking materials like the blocking mats, the T-pins, and maybe the wire. I might buy them online because I looked at Michael's and did not see the pins or wire, and the blocking mats were very expensive for just one 12 inch square piece.
I had finished the kerchief and was so excited until I realized it was a little small for my liking, so I had to take a few rows out and I am adding another stockinette section. I have been working away at this lately and I am almost finished knitting the kerchief. I am knitting a scarf with last Saturday's stitch pattern: chevron lace. I continued knitting and it will be a lighter scarf to wear closer to the fall. I love how it is turning out.
I am still reading Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy by Helen Fielding and Into the Water by Paula Hawkins. They are both so good in different ways and if I am in the mood for a light, fun read then I will pick up Bridget Jones, and if I want a more serious, dark, mystery, then I pick up Into the Water.
Speaking of books, I saw this cute "Little Free Library" box while on a walk last week and had to snap a photo of it. I didn't grab a book this time, because I already have enough on the go right now. I might pick one up while on another walk soon. Do you use a little free library in your neighborhood?

You might want to try Toys-R-Us for blocking mats. They have foam mats that children put together like puzzle pieces. They are the same thing as blocking mats, but a whole lot cheaper.
ReplyDeleteI'm a BIG fan of Little Free Libraries. We have quite a few where we live.
Yeah that is a good idea, I have seen those at Walmart too but wasn't sure if I should get the blocking mats but now I think it would be the same and less expensive to do the foam mats. Yeah they are so cute and it is a good way to give away some books that you don't read anymore too!
DeleteYour sweater is almost done !
ReplyDeleteOne book at the time for me...
Have fun !

yes I am looking forward to seaming the pieces together and seeing how it looks! thank you, have a good weekend!
DeleteThe book I keep in my purse came from the Little Free Library at my local park. I can't help stopping every time I see one!
