Steve and the Boys

Who's Steve? Inspiration for the new thing I started this week...

I have not done much with corner-to-corner crochet in the past, and I know next to nothing about Minecraft, which makes this a fun and challenging project! I'm halfway through the second block!

Another thing I've learned on this yarny adventure is how to make a decent bobbin...

So now I'm chomping at the bit to try my hand at more intarsia knitting...but first, some little kitchen scrubbies, 

because you just can't drag along 23 yarns for an afghan on every little trip you take. This "yarn" is hard to see unless the lighting is very good, but it makes great scrubbies, worked flat on a diagonal, then seamed and gathered. So clever! 

They are also a great travel project, which is good, because we busy grandparents get around! Just yesterday, the 3-year-old called Pop Pop and asked him to come over and play...so we did. 

Full disclosure, Pop Pop did most of the playing...including bike rides 

and static shocks on the slide...hahahahaha!

Later, at bedtime, that same 3-year-old told his mommy, "I'm glad Gramma let Pop Pop come over to play!" Thanks, Mommy, for texting that to us.  It made our day! 

This pic's a couple weeks old.
He's still this adorable. 😉

We're off again today to flag football,  and Sunday to apple picking, so it's good to have those portable projects! What should o knit next, friends? Christmas is coming! 

Thanks for stopping by, and Knit in Good Health!
