I'll show you mine if you show me yours

Hey Knit Crew, it's about time for another update on our blankets.
So take those pics and post them here!

And now for something new...

I must admit, I'm pretty warshragged out, so yesterday I began a new project. Thanks to the 70% off yarn sale at Hancock I purchased a beautiful (at least in my opinion) ribbon yarn and am knitting a drop stitch scarf. After experimenting with a couple of patterns, I made up my own that I feel really shows off the yarn. The color is Autumn Leaves and ribbon is so fun to work with.

that's three warshrags done . . .

Another One Bites the Dust

I've finished another warshrag, and it gave me an idea! I plan on making one, or a few, in various shades of the same color from dark to light. What do you think (maybe a red, to hot pink, to light pink; or delft blue, hot blue, to baby blue)? I feel a trip to Hobby Lobby might be in order.

The NeedleMaster has arrived . . .

Welcome to Purl-land

Clayton has learned to purl. Check out his dishcloth.

Veronica, you may make yourself appear to be taller by standing on your toes, but you'll never make your scarf as long as mine!

The stash

well, here's my stash, most of it purchased at the going out of business sale at Hancock, but not all of it. . . watch out Veronica. . . I'm catching up to you.

fyi. . . my $41.52 total at Hancock would have been $97.42 without the discounts! I love sales!!!!

ONE!!!

I've finally finished one warshrag . . .

and now TWO!!

Shopping Spree cont.

Lotsa new stuff purchased in the last couple of days. Notice the bright Sugar 'n Cream my mom picked out for her warshrags.

Needles galore - 25 pair and counting

Current projects - Basketweave blanket and warshrags

Shopping Spree!

Sugar 'n Cream section at Hobby Lobby. Oh the warshrag possibilities!


Massive sale at Hancock Fabrics (70% off needles, 60% off yarn). I don't know how all this stuff came home with me, but I love it!

Sugar n Cream . . . online

I found this site for the sugar n cream, it'll show you all the colors and stores that sell the yarn. And here is Peaches n cream

Off the Hook!

...I mean needles!
You may now crown me Knit Crew Captain.

Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

I just can't stop!!! My newest warshrag and a basketweave bib in a very pleasing varigated yarn.

Wanted: Have You Seen This Yarn?

I know I've seen this yarn before, but I can't remember where. Help me Obi-Won Kenobi. You're my only hope.

Here's a picture of the blanket that I am going to try to make, the pattern doesn't look too hard. . . I just hope I can follow the pattern.

Projects on Parade

One of these kids is doing their own thing.
Now it's time to play our game...which one is not the same?

I HATE dropped stitches!!!!

They are especially loathesome on cables. Well, really it's the wide plait where I dropped the stitch. Hopefully I'll be able to fix it, otherwise I may chunk the whole blanket (all 3 inches of it) and start a new project. Socks anyone!?

Knit Lit

Here are the books in my knitting library (in case you'd like to borrow).
Add any books you own/buy so we can keep a running list.

• Stitch 'N Bitch by Debbie Stoller (and no Gene, it is not a noun.)

• Stitch 'N Bitch Nation by Debbie Stoller (still not.)

• Holiday Knits by Sara Lucas and Allison Isaacs

• Mason*Dixon Knitting by Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne

• Knitting Rules! by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee

• Gorgeous Knitted Afghans by Fatema, Khadija and Hajera Habib-Rahman
  

A Good Idea

The idea is that we share pictures of our current works-in-progress. Also stories, questions, advice, interesting things you find (be it a new type of needle or a pattern for the latest Harry Potter scarf). I love keeping up with everyone's knitting...the whole ball of wax...er...yarn. ; )
