Just Starting

Well, after discovering that I know 4 people who are having babies within 2 months of each other, I decided to start writing about my efforts to make blankets for all of them before they give birth. (Hence my blog name: Insane in Wisconsin!!!)
While I am 3/4 of the way through the first one, I discovered that I am out of yarn, and can't get more until I can make it up to Eau Claire for more. Because, of course, the kind of yarn that I am making it with isn't carried locally, I have to go back to Wal-Mart for more. When I bought it, I didn't have any specific plans for it, but after I found out that my neighbor's daughter was having a girl, I decided to use it for her.
tune in for the next chapter soon: My first effort at knitting lace!!!

I'm doing your Shetland Shawl pattern, its for my niece, and she is the last one due,in March. I saw it awhile ago, and knew I wanted to do it eventually, and when I found out she was pregnant, I knew it was perfect for her.

I know how frustrating it is to have to set you project aside until you can get to town for more yarn.

It always happens to me that when I finally decide on a project for some yarn I bought maybe a year ago, the shops don't carry it any more, but I can usually find odd lots of it on the Internet. Of course the dye lot is probably not going to be the same, but I'm not that sophisticated a knitter yet.

Good luck on the knitting and finding same yarn when you go back.
