Lap robe for the Elders

I finished the sampler lap robe/afghan last weekend, but just photographed it this morning. I'll box it up this weekend and get it mailed to the Cheyenne River Elderly Nutrition Services on Monday. And I'll also box up all of my leftover red heart to mail to my sister in CO.

At the moment I have a total of ZERO on-the-needle projects! That won't last long, because I just finished the first Horcrux sock and it needs a mate. Also need to do the second Almeara glove. After the lap robe, these will seem like very quick projects.

Then... Sport has asked for a pair of socks - from yarn "just like my blanket" (this blanket.) I could buy more acrylic yarn, but I told him that we'd look for "real" sock yarn and he could pick out what he wants. Of course, I'll lead him to H. L.'s better than it used to be collection of Heart & Sole or whatever else they have of machine washable sock yarn.

Also told Buster that when Sport's socks are finished, he will get to shop for his sock yarn. :-)

Nice lap robe! Surely will be much appreciated! Better get busy on those "Sport socks". LOL! My BG has outgrown all that I have knit him. Seems I have to redesign his pattern every time I knit for him. He's growing faster than I can knit!
