Been a Busy Summer!

Sorry I haven't posted much this summer.  It has been a really busy summer.  We did our landscaping and built our fence.  We also helped two neighbors build their fence. I haven't had a whole lot of knitting time lately.  But I have started on a Hemlock Ring Blanket.  I tried this pattern last year and ripped it out thinking it was too hard.  I still had that urge to knit it though, especially after seeing everyones beautiful finished blankets on Ravelry.  So I cast on again and am half-way through the feather and fan chart.  I can't believe how quickly this one is knitting up this time.  I am absolutely loving knitting this blanket.  If you haven't knit it yet give it a try!

I am using Cascade Eco+ yarn in bottle green.  This one is a secret Christmas present for someone!  I will actually have it done too.  I want to knit another one in grey for myself even!  Pictures will follow in another post!
