The missing tiger

I am off to "Vogue Knitting Live" tomorrow and I went to print out all the knitted blocks for the zoo blanket. After looking in all my computer files I realized I never took a picture and down loaded the Tiger. So when I get back I will have to do it. There is a picture of it knitted up in the layed out blanket, but no close up. It will just have to do for now. I'm looking forward to the show. I'm taking only 1 class, "Brioche Lace". It should be fun. I also have a lecture "Behind the scenes of Creating the Finishing School" book. That should be interesting. I like both teachers. This year I'm doing the market by myself since I have my very own electric scooter and I don't need anyone to push me like I did when I was in my wheelchair. I feel like I been liberated & freed. I can take my time and not feel rushed. It should be fun. Ruth is going to meet me around 5 and I'm going to sleep over her place. So she will help me go up town & I spend the evening with the Rosenthals. Sunday morning they will help me get into a cab so I can go back to the show for my early morning class. It should be a fun weekend. All for now.

I'm finally blogging again. It's been quite awhile. Too long. And this blanket has been taking me toooo long to. I am down to 1 more panel, the center one. I've graphed it out. It's going to be a giraffe. As you can see I have layed out the panels so I know the placement of each one and how big I need to make the giraffe. I need to get more yarn so I can start to knit the final panel. You would think I would have enough left over yarn to complete the giraffe, but not. I am very happy on how the animals came out. I have my favorites and I have the ones that I had a hard time doing. But for the most part it's been a fun project. It's going to be interesting when I knit the whole thing together. Right now I'm thinking garter stitch, but I will see. Next weekend is Vogue Live NY & I hope to pick up some ideas. Well all for now. Terry
