The daisy stitch baby blanket that I’ve been knitting is coming together much slower than I anticipated. I was trying to stick to a schedule but my husband was sick last week and his work schedule has been sporadic which in turn means my schedule has been thrown off balance. So I’ve only managed to knit up a few rows …
Work In Progress Wednesdays
I often wonder how many times I can talk/write about my work in progress before I bore my readers. I don’t want to mention it in every post (unless its something spectacular).
