One A Day........Tuesday's Tallies.

Hi, I hope everyone had a good weekend, I just don't know where the last week has gone. This month is always a busy month for me, with lots going on. This week, it's my birthday, Paige's birthday, my sister's wedding anniversary and birthday and I celebrated my 24th wedding anniversary,yesterday.
It's actually my birthday tomorrow but I've just got back from afternoon tea with my friends to celebrate, we had a wonderful time, photo's to follow.
Anyway back to One a Day organized by Carole, I haven't really had a lot of time to do much and haven't done any squares but when I was looking through the links of One a Day, I came across Shateen's blog who was doing the Wonder Blanket that Evelyn has started on the  Ravelry group, Project Stash.
It is such a great idea, it's a simple knitted blanket that is just made from even the smallest scraps and odd balls of yarn of any weight.
I could kick myself because in the last month I have had a sort out and gave all my little scraps away but I did have lots of half balls so decided to use them up.

My bag of half used balls of yarn.

I've made a start on my blanket and managed to do a little bit each night, every row is knit so I can sit and watch T.V. or chat without having to concentrate to much on the knitting. I cast on 200 stitches onto 5mm circular needles, I'm not thinking too much about colour placement and so far have put my hand in the bag and used whatever colour comes out, so far this has worked !!!!
At first I was going to just use DK on my blanket and not mix different weights but after seeing Evelyn's blanket and seeing it works with any weight yarn, I've gone for it and added 4ply and aran into my bag of scraps, whoo hoo get me, aren't I a crazy cat !!!!
I'm still going to be getting on with my Springtime throw when I have the time but this project is pick up any time and not have to concentrate, hopefully I can get more squares made next week when things quieten down.
.
Thanks for looking.
