Vintage Handmade: November 2014

Finally I'm able to enter my blogspot page! I'm not very clever in computers. It took me one hour to understand and resolve the problem - my browser was not updated. For a miracle I've managed to install the Google Chrom and now here I am.

While waiting for a nice occasion to make some photos of my last completed projects (one of them is of my own design and before publishing the photos I have to publish the pattern on Ravelry) I want just to make a few notes on some WIPs.

Today I'm not in the mood to complete any of them which need any concentration or adaptation. Besides my little daughter is at home and I can't concentrate on my work.
Some examples?

1) Quaking Aspen Shawl http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Natie379/quaking-aspen-shawl:

I'm not sure I like the colors and it doesn't help to continue, even if all I have to do is to complete the border. I've tried for a couple of times this morning, but I didn't like the original lace pattern. May be I'll find another matching lace pattern. I'll think about it... next week.

2) Milano http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Natie379/milano:
To start the sleeves I have to calculate stitches and rows. I'm not able to do even this simple math.

3) Ena's sweater http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Natie379/enas-sweater-2,
Come una volta II http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Natie379/come-una-volta-ii,
To wear with a summer suit http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Natie379/to-wear-with-a-summer-suit:

I have no idea when my waist will be thin enough to wear any skirt, so both this projects are not actual (sometimes I'm practical and knit the things which I REALLY need).

So, today is dedicated to Umaro blanket http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Natie379/umaro-3, which has become rather boring to knit (taking into account the size and the name of the project). It would be nice to get rid of this WIP - it occupies a big packet in the middle of our living-room.
