An Update in Knitting

-

Since I really haven't shared any knitting project updates in a while I figured today was a good day to do so. Especially since I just finished making four projects, one of which I have been working on for just over a year and a half.

Dishcloth
I apologize for the not so great quality of the above picture (^). Especially since it is a little hard to see the pattern. But it is a dishcloth that I made using a pattern that I found on Ravelry last year.


The ten-stitch blanket ^^^ I started making in July of 2017 and didn't do a whole lot of work on, 
until recently when I decided to work on it more. Before I finished it my sister had suggested that I take another coordinating color and crochet a border around the edge of it to give it a more finished look. As you can see I took her up on the suggestion and just did a simple single crochet border around it. The pattern is on Ravelry,


The shawl/wrap is another pattern that I found on Ravelry and the yarn I used is white acrylic yarn and a burgundy natural yarn that I had gotten for free either last year or the year before. While I did block it to help with the curling, the bottom tip still rolls up a little.


The cowl that I just finished the other day. For this project, I got the yarn, needles, and pattern in a monthly subscription yarn box from a company called Darn Good Yarn. While I go the pattern somewhere else I did find it on Ravelry. Before I block it, I will be adding something around the part where I joined the ends.

Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

--- 1 --- The other day I was feeling a bit bored so I made a couple covers for the story that I started working on. --- 2 --- A couple of weeks ago I was looking up pictures of the minons from "Despicable Me", don't remember why, but while I was scrolling down the page I came across this minion picture: --- 3 --- I found this on Pinterest a while back... --- 4 --- On Sunday we had to shovel snow off the driveway. It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
