March....

March was a huge month for me. I finished 3 blankets, and the yoke of a cardigan which is amazing, I am so proud of myself, but keep in mind as well that I also had all of these on the go and had weekend blitz's where I finished them.

The Op Art Blanket is now complete, see all the pictures below. I am quite pleased with how this turned out, and I like that it is a blanket knit in the round that turns into a square as opposed to one that is a circle, I am sure there are not as many people out there as me that appreciate round blankets. I may put a soft snugly backing on this one, as it got quite thin during blocking, but it is off the needles so it counts as finished.

I Like Lime is also now completed. Thank goodness for that. I am a tad angry with myself that I am finishing all of the easier projects first and leaving some of the harder ones for later, but I think that is a general survival instinct that we all encounter. So pretty, I love the patterns in this book. I have yarn for Blueberry Bobbles, which will be a new project, as I have yarn, but not for a little while.








This one to the right does not show off the colour, but it shows the pattern better.


I also finished the Yoke of my Circlet Cardigan this month. This project was started in January of 2014. And I just finished it on March 1, 2015 that is crazy but it looks gorgeous. Really hoping that it fits by the time I get it finished, it would be heart breaking if it did not.

I am really tempted to do the body just in stockinette stitch but I think it would loose some of the luster that it has as a result of all this cabling.

I also managed to finish 'Jane Eyre's Daughter' by Elizabeth Newark. Not one of the best books I have picked up, but it was interesting to see where one persons interpretation of the next generation goes. Some plot points are far too similar to the book that this was based on, but it did have merits in that it was still quite gothic in its themes. It was also great to find out what the mystery of this one is, not a lot of spoiler posts out there for this one, or I need to look harder?

I have no idea what I am going to tackle next, I think it is Tardis time after that with bits of Illuminated Lines and the Circlet Cardigan. After much deliberation I am going to use the softer yarn, am I going to have as much colour work in it? Your guess is as good as mine on this one.

4. Body
6. Tardis Afghan x 2 (Yes I have two on the go)..might soon have three, scary.
1. One of these I need to have finished by May, but the yarn is a bit scratchy so I just need to either figure out how to make the yarn softer, or use the softer yarn I have to make a different one...Thoughts?
1. One of these got turned into the Giant Knitted blanket that you will see on here, using the huge needles, where vampires shrink at the sight of them :D 
7. Fingerless Mittens: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fingerless-mittens-8
1. I have 1 complete and about 25% of another one complete, a matching pair is within my grasp. These are beautiful, I want to do them on smaller needles with smaller yarn, it will take longer, but they will be less thick. Sadly these ones are in black which makes them hard to photograph nicely.
8. Reverie Beret (I have done so many of these I could do them in my sleep, but I have made 1 or 2 minor adjustments to make it my own)
9. Entrelac scarf, I do not think I am going to finish this per se... who knows
10. Feather and Fan Blanket 
    
11. Mitered Square blanket in Parrot...I was crocheting this into something, but I did not like it, I still don't really like it but it will happen.
