Bulky Swatch Blanket

• William Estep
• Knitting

I’ve started putting together the Bulky Swatch Blanket.

I plan to tile the swatches together somewhat randomly and use different colors for the connecting knitting bands. The swatches are various sizes, so I will keep it random and shoot for a Mondrian-style look. We’ll see how it goes 🙂

"The Novelist" by Angela Hunt

• William Estep
• Club reading

Reviewer: Sally

Angela Hunt is in the top five of my favorite authors list. Her stories are exciting from page 1 to the end. I know when I start one; it is likely to be a very late night. They are hard to put down. “The Novelist” is a little different than the majority of Angela Hunt’s books…excellent…but different. That is not surprising, given the storyline of the book.

Countryside Scarf for Birthday

• William Estep
• Knitting

Now that I’m back into knitting, I made a nice textured scarf for my sister on her birthday this year.

The pattern is the Countryside scarf by La boutique de Jeanne

I’m really happy with how it turned out, but also not inclined to do more scarves. Just never ending rectangle of the same stitch pattern over and over….

I do want to do a shawl soon though. I’ve been collecting nice fingering weight yarns to give the amazing Vertices Unite by Stephen West a try.
