Since I have nothing really to talk about, and this IS supposed to be a knitting blog, I'll show and tell some of my current and recently finished projects.
"Cables A-Go-Go" Pullover. I'm knitting this for a store in Virginia, for them to use as a sample sweater. It's a nice pattern and I'm enjoying working cables, which I haven't done for a while.
This is the Tea Cozy I knit for Pam, for our Cousins/Aunties Christmas Gift Exchange. Don't know if she even drinks tea, but she can wear it as a hat if not...
This is another sample project, for "baby soakers" with an attached skirt. I really wanted to get a picture of Carson modeling these, but we couldn't manage to meet up with his mama.
A shawl I'm working on, called "Galadriel's Mirror". I love the yarn, the colors are beautiful. This one is on the back burner till I finish the sample sweater tho.
And this is the "Advent Calendar" Lace Scarf I made during the holidays. You were supposed to knit a section of lace every day during Advent. I finished it on Dec. 28th so didn't quite make it, but it was fun. And the yarn is a color called "Poinsettia", which I figure is perfect for this project.
This is a 'chemo hat' (the Shedir Hat from Knitty) for Lorraine's mom, Eileen, who's just starting chemo. She's the world's sweetest lady and I wanted to make her something soft and cuddly. I love the yarn I'm using (Berroco Pure Merino DK yarn), it very soft and a pretty pale seafoam color.
I've got tons of things I WANT to start, but I need to get all this stuff finished first!






the pics are terrible - you need to dig out the digital camera LOL - none of those look as pretty or colorful as they are in person!
ReplyDeleteI know, they are awful pix. But my big camera eats batteries at an alarming rate. Give me a good digital for Valentine's Day!
