Anyway..... it's week 4 of the project! Woot! Everyone is knitting up their blocks and learning some new things along the way! Miss N has already completed her first set of ALL 6 blocks and is heading off to make the second set. What an overachiever! Miss T~ the crochet queen has been whipping hers out in between making some pretty fabulous monkeys & washcloths! AND she's also 'learning' knitting... more on that later! Royal D admits that she didn't mind the color work block (#3) and has finished it, but also admits the yarn that was giving her fits.
Even her kids laughed
Me? Um... I'm waiting for the Princess' Mommy to finish her block and then I will move forward! *That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! Honestly? I really haven't been knitting. Oh... I've got projects on the needles (multiples) but I keep getting distracted by just about anything else that comes along! Today I WILL make a block four! I will! It's looking like rain this morning so I might as well settle in and knock it out!
Here's the pattern just to keep you all up to speed~ Once again using those size 8's and washable worsted weight yarn....

** Just make sure your block ends up being about the same size as the other 3 blocks you've made already**~ if you're doing the project with us!
See?! I've already started. Too bad this yarn is that 'crunchy' stuff.... needs to go into the washer!
Which btw is an experiment in the works and fodder for more posts!
