I won&#8217;t post individual photos of the blocks (though I have posted them on <a href=\" http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/94554908@N00\/tags\/afghanblock\/\">flickr<\/a> if you&#8217;re really interested) , but I will post a photo of the\u00c2\u00a0 finished afghan after I finish it in October or November.<\/p>\n<p>My friend Angeline posted on facebook a few months ago (during the height of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themarysue.com\/jayne-hats-fox\/\">Jayne hat fiasco<\/a>) that she really wanted one, so I offered to make one.

Now that I have them, I&#8217;ll be starting up on it again within the next couple of weeks.

I found this awesome pattern for a chullo with llamas on it. Mum liked it so much, she requested one for herself as well, in the same colour as her cardigan for the base colour. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.karenrsavage.com\/blog-images\/llama-chullo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s Fair season! This year I&#8217;m going to enter a shawl I made last year. Technically, you&#8217;re only supposed to enter items you&#8217;ve made since the last fair, but a few weeks ago I ended up reworking about half of it (and making it a larger size) because I had found a dropped stitch the first time I wore it, so I figure that counts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m really enjoying the Knitting Circle I joined a few months ago.
