I’m pootling along with my two-at-a-time socks and Garland, so I didn’t want to post anything yesterday as there’s not much progress for an update…instead, I decided to show you all some of the progress the people in Resolutions Monthly have been making on their June Resolutions!
Hefty Chihuahua Sweater
This is by Raveler tsaria, and knitted for Wiggles the Chihuahua. Isn’t it adorable? I love those cables. The project page for this is here, and includes some cute pictures of Wiggles! You can also find the pattern on the page.
It only took tsaria a week to knit!
The Zoomies
The Resolutions Monthly Moderator SugarAngel made this incredibly bright and cheerful blanket, brilliantly called “The Zoomies” for a baby. Scrolling through the project page shows a really fantastic progression as the blanket grows!
This may be the next crochet pattern that I try…someone, get pregnant quick so I can make you a blanket! Heehee.
Another nice ribbed sock
moo2moo‘s amazing pair of socks really caught my eye. They look scrumptious! Apparently her daughter’s do not rate them…they have no idea, do they?
I think that they look at bit like the embers left over in your fire just before you’re going to bed – bits of grey and black everywhere with a peep of the brightest red at the bottom.
More Resolutions, more!
There are a lot more accomplishments in the Ravelry group – I will give you all a recap of some more tomorrow, but for now, why not join us and show us what you have accomplished!
Much love,
Corrie xx
Ahhh! So pleased you decided to feature my blanket on your blog this morning! (At least, it’s morning in Texas. I have no idea what time it is where you are.)
Fun little tidbit for you about the name: A friend of mine had just brought home a pair of foster kittens who were very shy and didn’t want to play, but in the middle of the night they starting running wildly through the house (because of course, kittens are nocturnal, and just as restless as your average five-year-old). A bit of Googling just for the fun of it turned up that this is affectionately known as “the midnight kitten zoomies”. Earlier that day I’d started this blanket, and “zoomies” seemed just the perfect name for such a restless blanket. So there you go.
And for what it’s worth, I don’t always wait for someone to be pregnant before I make a blanket. I keep some spares around when I have extra yarn or time for when someone I know but don’t particularly have any special connection with has a baby. This one was supposed to go in the Drawer of Baby Things under my bed until a suitable recipient turned up, and only in the last week or so of making it did I find out that a member of my dad’s church is expecting a baby boy. Not to give you any more items on your queue of course. ;)
