It's good that you take your knitting or crocheting along with you when you go out - I don't and tend to leave it until the end of the day when I feel quite tired and not very motivated.<br /><br />I work from home so perhaps I should have a 10 minute knitting break every day! As you say, it all adds up! Thanks for the inspiration!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />RozRozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643747601467148531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098022585476956262.post-90501510748246404862011-06-05T19:57:06.587+01:002011-06-05T19:57:06.587+01:00I always have my knitting and or crocheting with m...I always have my knitting and or crocheting with me, and getting maybe 10-15 minutes at work during lunch is better than not at all.

Now that's frustrating!<br />Usually I try to keep going at a steady pace - no rushing. I guess with sewing bags it's different, because I get to see a lot of progress after stitching a few seams which keeps me motivated :)<br /><br />Do post a pic of the finished baby blanket :)Dunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273071467750510363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098022585476956262.post-46164077984459145572010-03-30T22:45:21.758+01:002010-03-30T22:45:21.758+01:00Thanks for visiting and commenting, Yayix!Thanks for visiting and commenting, Yayix!Rozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643747601467148531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098022585476956262.post-26679913628722889242010-03-30T12:40:09.689+01:002010-03-30T12:40:09.689+01:00nice blog. keep it up!

I checked ou...Hi Sandy,<br /><br />You're very welcome! <br /><br />I checked out the Denise needles and I definitely like the fact that you can extend them - needles that are too short for the required number of stitches is a problem I've encountered several times. <br /><br />It's interesting that you prefer light-weight needles and I can imagine that they would be better for you. I have always used metal needles. I tried plastic needles once but knitting with them did not feel "right" for some reason!<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestion, though - it's always good to learn about new products and I would be interested in trying out the Denise needles one day. <br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />RozRozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643747601467148531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098022585476956262.post-21686238597864014332010-03-13T16:03:01.592+00:002010-03-13T16:03:01.592+00:00Hi Roz,

It's nice to hear from you again! Ac...Hi Sandy<br /><br />It's nice to hear from you again! Actually, your blog posts seem to have inspired me to knit "more spiritually" (if I can call it that!) By that, I mean to plan less and go with the flow and see where it leads and I was surprised that I had such an interesting result the first time I did it!! So, thanks for the inspiration!<br /><br />Isn't it amazing how we all knit differently! I have never heard of Denise needles and so I'll have to check them out, especially if I'm going to knit diagonally again!<br /><br />The border idea is a good one but I think that the blanket will be large enough when it's finished. Also, with my time limit, I probably won't have much (if any!) extra time to do a border. <br /><br />If I did do a border, it would have to be a knitted border, as, unfortunately, I can only do chain stitch. I would love to learn to crochet properly! Hopefully one day I'll have time!<br /><br />Best wishes for a lovely day,<br /><br />RozRozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643747601467148531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098022585476956262.post-28086590565868373662010-03-09T13:33:11.421+00:002010-03-09T13:33:11.421+00:00Very nice and one of the most versatile and freque...Very nice and one of the most versatile and frequently used patterns around. I've made wash cloths, dish cloths, baby blankets, and shawls using this method. <br /><br />How cool that you started it and now your best friend has need, right down to it's color. I'm with you, sometimes we have a vib and things just work that way.<br /><br />I love knitting in the round; never use straight needles. I use Denise needles so in your case when the needles got crowded you could have put an additional cord in and kept going. When you're done if you feel like it's not big enough make a nice large border...lacy. Do you crochet?<br /><br />Have a great day<br />Sandy<br />Bridge and BeyondSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098022585476956262.post-88179140528688965262010-02-10T03:40:39.607+00:002010-02-10T03:40:39.607+00:00Hi The Creative Place,
