The Nine Day Afghan

This is the first strip in the nine day afghan. It's folded in half and pinned to ease the rolling made when knitting stockinette.

Actually, this is the fifth strip in the afghan, but I don't like the other four so I started over yesterday and I will make one strip every day and be done with it in nine days. I will sew it as it goes which will probably add another day all told so it will be done in less than two weeks.

I will let you know more about the afghan as it progresses....

We're Open For Business!

This is the first day of The Knitter's Restaurant blog! This is a place to share what's on your needles as well as what's on your mind.
I learned to knit way back in the 7th grade and hadn't touched it again until two years ago when a friend and I decided to start a knitting group at our church. At first, it didn't seem as if it was going to fly, but at the end of this year, we have sold more than $1000 of knitted, crochet, and woven crafts. The money goes to buy more yarn (of course!) but also to some of our programs of knitting comfort items for our congregation and members of the community.

So, what's on your needles? Currently, I have three projects going: two afghans from The Little Box of Knitted Throws - Garden Gate and the Aran Squares, and a scarf from a pattern found on the web. The afghans will go to the programs while the scarf is a Christmas present. I'll post photos as soon as they're done.

What about you? What are you working on?
