Upstairs Knitting

Yesterday I shared my downstairs, easy on the brain, TV watching knitting project. Today I am showing of my upstairs, I have to concentrate project. This is the Seraphina Afghan from Herrschner's.

I am getting more comfortable with it now that I have gone through a couple repeats of the first section of the pattern but it still needs to be an upstairs project. This one is for me and I have a place planned for it to be in my home. I'll share that here later when I am ready to show it off in its new room. Not much else new around here. What's up with you?

Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!

Sunday's Stitches

I am not the greatest with making and keeping schedules but I want to try a new thing here. I am always making something. That is a big part of who I am and what gives me purpose every day. I want to start a series here on Sundays called as you can see by the title above Sunday's Stitches. Sometimes there may be a lot to talk about and sometimes, meh. We'll see how this goes.

This Sunday I am sharing an afghan I have started. Started twice and had to tink a row also but I am determined to get this right. I put makers in to guide me through the 10 stitch repeat so I can stay on track. With each trial I feel more confident. I even figured out how to undo a S2KP (slip 2 knitwise together, knit one, pass the slipped stitches over) double decrease. Figuring that out lead to the makers to help get all the yarn overs and double decreases in the right spots. I feel more confident about it now.


As you can see, this is the Serafina Afghan. I bought the kit when it was on sale from Herrschner's. I have the pattern now and if this comes out as pretty as I think it will I may order the yarn when it is on sale and hope for free shipping too and have some lovely afghans to sell online or with my sisters as we get started with our own hand maker's company we want to start.

Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
