You know the feeling when you are making progress on your projects, but it feels like forever since you actually finished something? I was feeling this way later in the week, because the two projects I'm knitting are moving along well enough, but not really quickly. I thought I would start something else, but it had to be small. The problem is, the patterns I thought I'd use were not ones I had printed out and our home printer is currently having issues. Sigh.
But then some Sugar and Cream yarns I'd bought on a recent trip to A.C. Moore caught my eye. They had been two for a dollar, and a lot of them were in summery colors. But one in particular seemed like a really good idea. I also decided to use a basic mitered square pattern, like the one used for the Coziest Memory Blanket, and which I have memorized.
I grabbed a pair of size 9 needles, cast on 50 stitches, and got started. About an hour later, I was finished.
And now our kitchen will have something in it for the Fourth of July. It was a nice feeling to just get something completed, finished, done, whatever you want to call it.
I may even make another. :-)
