Two and Almost Three, my Obsession continues

I admit it, when I find something I like to knit, I never just knit one. When I returned to knitting regularly about 12 years ago, even while I was weaving and teaching weaving, I became obsessive. First it was socks, about eight pair right off the bat, then the whole knitting washcloth/dishrag thing. Don't have numbers high enough for that. (I translated that into first baby afghan for Afghanistan this fall. Old habits dye hard.) Then it was baby hats and sweaters, followed by Sirdar Snowflake baby blankets. Skip to the present, I broke from the whole how-many-shawls/scarves-can-I-knit swirl to launch into the dog sweaters. Evidence of that is seen previously here on this blog. Now I am loving the log cabin pattern to knit these baby Afghans to send to the CURE Hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan. The finished one is second afghan, first log cabin, the WIP (work in Progress) or #3, is pictured still on the needles. I have used up so much stash yarn on these, that I am going to call it a success and not let myself start a third log cabin. I am contemplating doing a smaller one out of my Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, but that after the holidays. Yeah, right.

Baby Blankets and Handspinning=perfect weekend time

I have been spinning some very fine yarn out of blue merino
mixed with seacell and clear angelina. I plied it last night
and am so pleased to have finally created a delicate yarn
on my spinning wheel.
I'm currently knitting up a fluffy baby blanket for my nephew and niece-in-law's (is that a word?) little baby girl who is due in early July. I'm using up a huge stash of Sirdar's Snowflake yarn. It's not very pleasant to knit but makes a blanket the little ones love.
It's been a quiet weekend full of my own projects with no time constraints.
Love it!
