A Little Progress....


Okay, so there's not much to see.  Actually, there is, but the pics are on my cell phone.   I tried following the pattern.  That didn't work.  =(    It's been years since I've knitted and my hands just can't get the hang of knitting and purling with three strands of yarn.   Soooooo, I changed the pattern to just knitting.  =)  Much better!!!

I am almost totally right handed.  There are muscles in my left hand that don't get used that much.  Found that out when I started working on this rug.  Each day gets a little bit easier, but I think that I will save the k n p for just one strand of yarn. 

The blanket you see in the background is one that dad bought for me when I was 9 years old.  The binding has long been gone.  I decided one day to add a crocheted edge to the blanket on both ends.  Right now it is a work in progress.  It also has a hole that someone's dog chewed in it years ago. 

I could throw the blanket out and make some different, but, crazy as it seems, there is sentimental value in the blanket. My late sis and I both got one just after mom passed away.  I'm the only one who still had mine after all these years. 

It's soft and warm to a point.....
