Hi @Maggie @CheerBear @mumto2 @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Gazza75 @outlander and all crafty friends here. I know I've been a bit absent from here lately and I'm sorry- life has got in the way a bit down here in Melbourne with Covid-19 stuff happening. I have however been looking at the posts so well done everyone on all your crafty and art things👍!
Anyway, I have decided to pick up the knitting needles as a matter of necessity this afternoon because of covid-19 issues happening down here in Melbourne. That being to knit myself a scarf to act as a face covering because as of Thursday, metropolitan Melbourne residents have to wear either a mask or some sort of face covering whenever they leave their residence. A scarf is deemed to be a face covering so my sudden knitting of one. See below of my current status of the scarf. I hope you like it!

There are 2 colours of 8ply acrylic yarn used to make it thick and quicker to knit up. The knitting needles have little AFL footballs at the ends but I don't know what size they are since I got them in a knitting kit for a Brisbane Lions beanie many years ago.

My wool order came today from https://hobbii.com today. I was so excited I have been waiting for over a week. It's a similar design except the pink strands are blue in my wool.

I have my circular knitting needles and all set to start a beanie!

At least it's wasn't like my other order where I order 13 and got 1 ball of wool! According to the website there we're supposed to be 23 designs so really I should have gotten 299 balls of wool. Mis-translation apparently. The quantity was apparently the size. However there was no way to know.

@Judi9877 It’s looking lovely. 👍👍👍Sorry about the second lockdown in your area. Take care.

@jem80 Craft orders are exciting, once they arrive.

I hope the beanie is coming along nicely, the wool looks lovely.

Looking forward to updates. 🧶🧶🧶

Hi @jem80 ! I totally love the wool you posted! I can't wait to see how your beanie turns out in it. Keep all of us here posted on your development please!
@outlander I know how you feel about blankets as I'm trying to knit some for charity but they just seem to take forever. I have trouble with motivation at times and therefore seem to always have at least 5 projects on the go in various forms. My housemate just wants me to at least finish one to make her happy which is a goal I'm trying to achieve in the form of a blanket for her birthday in November which is a secret project of mine disguised in the form of a charity blanket whenever I choose to knit it around her. Just keep doing what you can, when you can, and take care of yourself. Just go row by row if you have to like I often do as all of those single rows do add up in the end. I'm cheering you on here in forumland🤩!
