Knit Nation Tomorrow

I'm giddy with excitement about going to Knit Nation in London tomorrow.  All that yarn under 1 roof!!  I'm attempting to set a budget (HAHAHA) so I don't go completely overboard.  A friend is going a long with me so we have to try and keep each other within a "reasonable" limit.

In other news,  I have completed the Squares on the Roll blanket. It's been a long time coming but it has actually been rewarding.  By no means was it an quick project but I really hope the baby and mum enjoy it.  I love how it looks and am having separation anxiety trying to give it away!  I will make another one...someday...however don't have the will power to venture into that right now.  I think I need to do a few smaller projects to get my rhythm going again!

So, in that light I have cast one many many projects instead of just doing one or two.  OOPS!
OTN:
Hitchiker - great for TV knitting, its so simple to do and will be useful when the cool weather comes back!
Cable baby blanket - 2 out of 24 rows is cable but it looks awesome!
Simply Beautiful - a super speedy crochet baby afghan - Slowly making my way through all 54 patterns in this book...even if they aren't quite my style, its just a challenge to make them all!
Bernat Jacquards Skirt - I don't have a little girl but I love making kids/.baby clothes and pass them on to friends/family

Off to the post office now!  Bye bye pretty square blanket!
