Are You Counting??

"Just let me finish this row"...
If you are a knitter, you understand that.
You say it all the time and your family gets it.

Another question is, "are you counting".
My husband knows that no response from me = "yes, I'm counting".
I'm not always counting when I don't respond,
but don't tell the hubs
* wink *
Sometimes you just need quiet.

 I am still working on my Guernsey Wrap...

 I am thrilled with the way it looks,

it is now 46 inches long and I am into my 3rd ball of yarn.

I also finished my Feathered Cloche Hat
from my "knits of a feather" book.

It's washed and blocked and the brim does not curl, YaY!!
I decided to keep the feather...
I think it makes the hat prettier and unique.

 I am joining Ginny at Small Things

    My dear mum was an avid knitter so I can quite understand 'are you counting'.
    I love your wrap, it's coming along well.
    Also the feather on your hat does work well.

    ...one final comment - those blooms look great, delicate shades.

    Have a good Wednesday

    All the best Jan

    The hat is adorable and the wrap is gorgeous. I started a project this week and had to Frog it, three different times because I looked up to see what was on TV and messed up the pattern! I hate trying to Rip It back, and put the stitches back on the needle. Sorry--I'll be quiet now so you don't lose your count.

    It all looks great. I just LOVE the cloche. I'm thinking about knitting a brioche stitch clove for the winter... but I haven't learned the stitch!

    That wrap is beautiful!!! So is your hat. I have to block my rugs too. It is magic in getting the edges to lay flat.

    Lovely work! I've always wanted to learn more than the basics of knitting. I think the sound and rhythm of the needles clicking together is so peaceful!

    HA HA, yes everyone knows if I don't respond right away I am counting but it is usually for my counted cross-stitch.... It is looking just fabulous and you are coming along quite quickly. So glad you went with the feather on the hat it turned out great and makes it more unique, LOVE it!
