This year, so far, I have knitted a baby hat with matching booties and I am currently working in the blanket for that. I will post pictures when they are finished. The shower is August 11, I don't think I will be done, but the fabulous pregnant girl will understand. She is not due until September, so, I KNOW I will have it done by then!
I also did a throw for a friend of mine's daughter (who I kinda love like my own daughter!). She recently texted me and asked for a scarf! I love repeat business! I will start and finish her scarf before the harsh Rexburg winter sets in!
I am in the middle of doing a scarf for my mom. I am using all the sock yarn from the family's socks that I did for Christmas last year and making her a scarf. This is a car project! I have it in the car because it is one of those mindless knitting projects that I can do whilst I drive -- well, actually Trenty is driving, but we actually really know who is driving; he may be behind the wheel, but I am the driver!!! I will have that done by the harsh Farmington winter!!
I am working on a throw for myself...it has been put on hold indefinitely!
So, for the finished products that I do have pictures of!! My niece is expecting my great niece (the first one on my side of the family). I was going to do booties, hat, and blanket but my mother instructed me that SHE was doing the blanket. I guess EveLynn just needs one blanket...but whatever. I decided to try my hand at a sweater...a hoodie to be more exact. I have made sockies and scarves, but a hoodie? I was unsure if I could pull it off. I bought a pattern complete with video help (verypink.com) and thought I would try my best. I was on a time table. My niece was in Farmington for 2 weeks and in the middle of that she was having a shower. I had to find out what she was having first...then knit something...then get it mailed! Whew!! Well, I am very happy to say, that I did it! Here are a few pictures:
This was done right after I knitted the front and back panels, added the heart, and attached the shoulders...
Same time....
The hood...oh my gosh, I never thought I was going to get that!!!
The sleeve. Which I actually thought was going to be hardest part. It was hard, but it ended up knitting up fairly quickly...once I counted!!
And....TA DAH!!! The finished hoodie!
I had extra yarn, so I added booties as well!
I know, I know...what a terrific great aunt I am! I worked on it from Saturday morning until Sunday night for the hoodie. The booties took me one night a piece. So...I had it all ready to mail, in time, for my niece.
I will post more pictures when I complete everything. Got a lot of projects sitting waiting to be finished and some I can't hardly wait to start! I have to prioritize!
Happy knitting!
XOXO
