Relaxing Sunday

Well i did finish the dress in time for the wedding, but it was not dry to my liking during blocking so I did not wear it to the wedding. Went with another dress, which was probably good since I spent the entire time running or carries either one or the other grandson, knitting does have a tendency stretching when handling babies. Not to mention that the shoes I planed to wear with the dress would also not have worked with the reception setting (outside on the lawn, not made for stilettos.)

I have been working on baby hats for the hospital, have two completed so far. So maybe now that I'm finished with the wedding I can work on getting more of the hats finished.

Dress Progress


My dress is progressing very nicely. I have finished the front/back and am one on the back/front, only 13 more rows and i am totally finished with the dress, well aside from sewing it together. It looks like I will finish this dress tonight.

Went out for a bachelorett dinner for Julie's cousin who is getting married on Saturday, for whose wedding I am making the above mentioned dress.

Relaxing




Yesterday was my KIP and it was great fun. There were about 13 of us. We sat in front of the shop knitting under the canopy which we carried to the front of the shop. There was even a reported coverying the event.

Today, I'm just relaxing working on my dress, for the wedding on Saturday. At it is progressing very nicely I hope to have it finished in the next few days. I would like to finish it today, as that would give me some time to work on the baby hats for the hospital. On Tuesday, my daughter informed me that the hospital is low on baby hats. The ones that they have are either to large or way to small.

As soon as I finish my dress I will post photos of it as well as some of the hats. I won't be following a pattern for the hats I will just make it up as I go along.

Here are a few pictures of our KIP
