Heir·loom [air-loom] ~ a post by Kelly (guest blogger)

A thing of great beauty, crafted with extraordinary skill

Whew!  That was a looong project.  Everything was going along swimmingly, until I reached the knitted-on edging.  Even the girls at the yarn store were saying "Aren't you done with that...YET?"  I worked on that edging nearly every weekday for 2 and 1/2 months.  (Weekends excluded due to the little one you see with me in the photo, she gets all my attention when I'm not working!)

It will be gifted to my dear friend, Amanda, who is getting married this summer.  I hope that she loves it and that she thinks of this special time in her life whenever she touches it.  Funny thing about memory, that it clings to knitting more than anything else I've ever known.

I'm happy to be moving onto other projects, but I really enjoyed this knit.  Mostly because I kept knitting and knitting and knitting!

Good Luck Melissa and John!  Before you know it you'll be grafting those edges together.

Holler the next time you decide to do a knit-a-long and I'll be on board.

Ashby, anyone???  It's on my list!

Just keep knitting, just keep knitting...

I'm getting there!  I've finished the lace border and am beginning the knitted on edging today.  I feel like I've been knitting this thing for ages!  I should probably take a break and knit something else for awhile, but I don't want to lose steam, so I'm going to just keep knitting....Hope all is well with everyone else!
