On the Needles Friday

I am definitely in the home stretch with my Great American Aran Afghan.  Block 22 is done.








And I hope to finish the pieces for block 23 tonight.  This square has a mini Aran sweater stitched onto a background block.

I am off to Judy's to see what others are working on.

On the Needles Friday--ok Saturday

Block 22 of my great American Aran Afghan will be finished this weekend!!  Lots and lots of bobbles.

Another block from the GAAA almost finished.  Lots of cables and bobbles.
The body parts of my Little Cotton Rabbit are finished.  Now to put her together and knit her a little dotty dress.

September Goals

Goal setting sounds so formal.  I think I have to start referring to them as good intentions.  To say I was side-tracked this month is an understatement.  In my knitting world I have been concentrating on the GAAA squares.

Stash Report

True confession time--even more wooly loveliness found its way to my stash.  But to be truthful it is ear marked for a KAL or two that will be coming up.  I am knitting feverishly but haven't completed anything.  I am working on a few large projects. 
And in the fabric department, I finished 3 little quilts that will be donated to a NICU.
