June “Project of the Month”
Posted on Sunday, June 1st, 2008 at 8:30 amWelcome June!
Finally we have some warm weather, longer days that I can look forward to enjoying. We have a new pergula and some nice new furniture on our patio. It’s like a new beautiful outdoor room where I can sit comfortably in the shade, enjoy the weather, look at the flowers and knit, knit, knit. I am looking forward to knitting lots and finishing everything. Starting June 1st and every month thereafter I have been challenged by Nachaele to name the 2 or 3 projects of the month that I am been itching to get finished and make it my goal to finish those projects within the month. What’s the consequences you ask, well I am thinking I just won’t allow myself to buy any yarn for a new project without getting an old one off the needles. As with all yarn promises, SOCK YARN DOES NOT COUNT!
1st I must show my wonderful new outdoor room:
It is most delightful and I must have some friends over to knit with me before it gets too hot to enjoy the outdoors!
1st June project tagged for finishing:
My Vickie Cardigan of course. I love it and just need to assemble the pieces, knit the button band and the collar. I love the way this sweater knitted up; the flow of the cables is really wonderful. I give Marilyn King with Blackwater Abbey a real thumbs up on this great design.
2nd June project tagged for finishing:
My Log Cabin blanket made with Tahki Cotton Classic. I really only have 2 or 3 more rounds to go on it but they are the LONG ones! This project is hard to photo while I am still working on it so don’t mind the bumpy picture just trust me the finished blocked project will turn out wonderful.
3rd June project tagged for finishing is:
My Sea Lettuce Scarf!
All 3 of my projects are near completion so with this little push to get them complete, I should be able to finish them and have time to start and-or finish other items of my choosing. I have already started 2 other projects but that is a story for another day!
HAPPY JUNE! Let me know what you plan to work on this month.
Everything is beautiful.
I’m going to have to make a similar afghan one of these days. This pattern has been calling my name for some time.
So, have you designed a sweater using Jean Wong’s methods yet? I haven’t! *L*
I love your outdoor room! What a great place to knit
Good luck with your finishing projects this month!
Leanne,
Love your outdoor area. And your knitting of course. We just finished our deck and put a gazebo over it. Interesting to see yours as we have the same backyard. Would love to have you over to knit in my backyard as well. I still have your book and will try and get it back to you soon. Not going to KK tonight, I have book club tonight and I actually read the book……..Cheryl
Love your outdoor knitting area! I can’t wait to come join you for knitting and lemon aid!
Great choices for finishing in June! I know you are dying to get all 3 of those done! We can do it!!!
I love all three projects. Have fun finishing them up!
Ooh that outdoor room looks divine! I am more than willing to keep you company while knitting out there!
