Baby Sweaters!

I'm working on some new sweaters for my new baby! I'll post some pictures soon.

Later gators!

New Project

I started a new blanket. It is a diagonal pattern with lots of yarn overs. I'm using Sugar 'N Cream yarn. We'll see how many months this one takes...

Does anyone still look at this blog?

Finished! In the knick of time.

Lily's blanket is now finished. How are your blankets coming?

A Work of Art

I know this isn't a knitting project, but we seemed to have hit a dry spell.

I thought I'd add something else homemade and beautiful.

The extreme dropped stitch

I found a mistake long, long after I made it. I couldn't handle a mistake in Lily's blanket, so I fixed it. This is what it looked like. But now it's all better.

How's the blanket progress going????

Knitting in the new year

Yep, I spent new years eve, and into the wee hours of the morning new years day knitting (finally went to bed at 3am). I finished yet another washrag and a cute little scrubby to go with it. I also did some work on my 2nd harry potter scarf in Hufflepuff colors (and have a request for one in Gryffindor colors).

Not-So-Skinny Scarf

This started off as a "Skinny Scarf" as detailed in "Knit Scarves!"
When completed, it turned out not to be so skinny. Oh well, 'tis life!

A Trio of Hats

Three hats for my nieces and nephew.

Hat model

Christian is sporting his new hat for Christmas.

cabled hat . . . finished

one project done, another project started. . .

I've finally finished the wavy gravy scarf. . .

And now I've started a cabled hat. . .
I also made a mitered square, a few more of these and I'll be able to make a blanket. . .

Reverse-Bloom Flower Washcloth

Love it!

wavy gravy

well, here's the progress on the wavy gravy scarf I'm making for Sara's goddaugher, Sara (yes, she is named after Sara) . . . yes I know there is a hole in my sock.

PS Since Amy has an updated picture of her scarf...you know I had to show mine...
My mom's cable scarf is a little over halfway done...the only thing is, since I didn't have the 9's (see previous post), it's turning out to be a miniature version...sigh.

Great balls of fi-yah!!!

I think I'm on a knitting kick! I just can't wait to start the flower petal washcloths from Weekend Knitting. I bought this yarn from ebay (love it!); it's Crystal Palace Cotton Chenille.
Of course, I don't have the right size needles, so I'll ask ever-so-nicely....
Nancy, may I borrow your 16" size 6 circulars?

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

It's time to start the holiday gift knits!


I started this lovely cable scarf for my mother..so shhhhhh...it's a secret! It's from the book One Skein. I'm using a so soft merino/cashmere blend in a nut brown color on size 8 needles (because I don't have 9's..thanks Nancy! ; )). Whatcha think?

Bib-o-licious

Ooooohhhhhh yeeeeeaaaaahhhh.
Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
; )
