The weather is getting warmer, the Sun is shining, it's almost time to leave the jacket at home and go out in a t-shirt.

 

So why on Earth am I knitting heavy woolen scarves?

 

There are two reasons. First: they are for charity, and as I am way behind on my "knit 50 items for charity" resolution, I have to start somewhere, and I liked the idea of scarves.

Knitting Blog Week 2011 Day 7 - Your knitting and crochet time.

My sofa

The last post of the Knitting and Crochet blog week! It's been a stressful week for me work-wise, but I'm very proud to have blogged on 5 days out of seven!

 

Today's topic is:

 

"Write about your typical crafting time. When it is that you are likely to craft – alone or in more social environments, when watching TV or whilst taking bus journeys..."

 

First of all, I knit in the evenings, while watching TV, to relax. I sit on my sofa (pictured) and get my needles klicking.

Today's topic for the Knitting and Crochet Blog Week (Day 2 - 2kcbwday2)was "Skill and 1UP". The description was as follows:

 

"Look back over your last year of projects and compare where you are in terms of skill and knowledge of your craft to this time last year. Have you learned any new skills or forms of knitting/crochet? (...) Have you recently put a foot in the tiled world of entrelac? Had you even picked up a pair of needles or crochet hook this time last year?"
