Rain?

Yesterday it took me nearly 1 hour in traffic to get from Flemington to Carlton. These journeys help remind me to ride my bike more.
While in traffic the sky looked great - especially if your hoping for rain....like most of Melbourne is. Alas - only a few showers!

Progress on the baby blanket for new niece/nephew in Cambodia

I choose a mesh stitch from my new book

Thought I'd share it with you

Mesh Stitch

Multiple of 2 sts plus 1.
Start with an odd number of ch, plus 3 extra.
Foundation row: 1 tr into 6th ch from hook, * 1 ch, miss 1 ch, 1tr into next ch, rep from * to end, turn
Row 1: 4 ch (counts as first tr and 1 ch), miss (1 tr and 1 ch) at end of previous row, 1 tr into next tr, *1ch, miss 1 ch, 1 tr into next tr, rep from * to end, working tr at end of last rep into 3rd of 4ch at beg of previous row, turn.
This row forms pattern.

Easy!!
