Sneak peek – almost there

(Early morning knitting in my pyjamas)

I’m almost there with blanket 3, I’m knitting the last stripe and I should get it done in time to wrap up, Christmas Eve. I set myself a target at the beginning of the week of half a stripe a day (each stripe is around 40 rows, with 120 stitches) and there were a few days when I didn’t make it but I’ve managed to catch up. It’s really helped that I’ve settled into a routine of two rows – do something else on the to do list – another two rows – another thing from the to do list and so on and so on. It’s made the knitting feel less like an epic task and it’s also made the rest of my to do list feel more manageable too.
