Not a flat pancake

With our exciting trip (yeah!) planned & underway, I thought I'd better start something on the hook that was quick, easy & no pattern reading or excess yarn needed.
So I started another project bag.... but I need to undo it & start again as it is supposed to be FLAT not looking like a bra!  But hey, easily fixed and it will give me something to do whilst bubba Joe is napping on holi!

A knitty group

Colourful chevron baby blanket by Rachel
I belong to a knitting group, do you?  I kind of feel like I'm 'coming out of the closet' by saying that because many people laugh when they find out I belong to a knitting group but hey, I'm not ashamed of my hobby & I'm not embarrassed to knit in public either so I ignore those titters & sniggers that I hear & happily attend my group at the local cafe.

A boys blanket

With everything nowadays focusing on the baby, I wanted to make something for bubba Joe (I didn't want him to start resenting the baby before it was even born!)
So I picked out a stash of colours and started...
I don't want to show you the pattern yet, I want to tease you for a little bit because I am quite excited by this pattern & can't wait to see it come together!

On the go...

Right now, I've got two current yarnie projects on the go. The rainbow stripey thingy was going to be a snuggle sleeve for the baby but the yarn is too fluffy for that, so bubba Joe is getting a scarf (which he is very happy about!).

To hex or not?

Hey there people! I am wanting your super advice right now.  Do you see the pile of fabrics above? Well, I am wanting to cut up that pretty bundle & sew them into hexagons and maybe make myself a quilt for my bed.  ...BUT...
