Current projects

I take pictures and just forget to post!!

Here is some of the things I have done in the last few months...

This was a baby blanket for a friend of Natalie's, she wanted pink and cheetah!  This is a mitered square pattern. 

Matching Mary Janes!

The set.

This was an entrelac blanket for a friend of Natalie's!  It was my first crotchet border! 

Matching hattie and booties! 

The cute little set. 

WIP -- Santa hat for Natalie. 

WIP -- Throw for our camper. 

WIP -- This is a mitered square blanket; it is made with extras and scraps of yarn.  I will be working on this for a while!  If you have any spare worsted weight yarn, just the little amount, send it over!!



I love knitting.  I love the calm feeling.  I love the reward of accomplishment.  I love being productive.

Knitting away

I have been so busy knitting, I have not posted anything!!!

Here are my latest projects. 

These first pictures are me attempting to knit two socks at once.  I would like to say that it was no problem, breezed right through it.  Not a chance!  I don't know how many times I had to tink those things!  I finally got it.  The thing is, I have been working on baby things, so I have not finished them...they are a wip!

I am not sure if I will attempt this again, but I certainly will not have SSS (second sock syndrome)!  It was very frustrating trying to keep two needles, two balls of yarn, and two socks from twisting up!

These are hat and scarf sets I made for two friends for Christmas.  The green one is not a hat but instead just an ear warmer.  The gray one is called .... something I can't remember!!  At the end of your project, while binding off, you drop a stitch (I think it may be called dropped stitch scarf?) and then to carry it down to the beginning.  

Lastly, I made a "draft dodger" for my front door.  Easy peasy!  

As I said, I am working on a great baby blanket, socks, hats, cocoons, etc. for a friend of mine who is expecting her first child.   Here is a little preview.... but don't tell her!!!

I will take better pictures of these fabulous items when I am done with them before I send them off.

Knitters use knitting to value-add to the world.
