Happy New Year fellow knitters! I’m please to announce my latest project – Child’s Picot Edge Slippers. This is based on my own design and when the pattern is complete I will add a link to it from my patterns page. It will also be available on my design page on Raverly.

Here’s how far I got since I started it last night:

I’m so happy that I finally finished my mittens and I’ve been wearing them already. Unfortunately with all the frustration I had while making them I didn’t write down my pattern. I made so many mistakes and I had to rip these out several times. I don’t know why since I’ve made a similar pair in the past without a pattern and had no problems. I guess my brain just wasn’t into it this time.

I think my next project is to knit a pair of these for my sister:

You can find the pattern here.

I’d like a pair too, but I also want make new wrist warmers for myself, some new hats, neck warmers and mittens for the girls and boat load of other items. I’m glad to see my knitting mojo has returned.

I feel like a crummy knitter. I’ve been so busy with other things that I haven’t been keeping up my blog or even knitting much.

I haven’t finished the fingerless gloves with mitten flaps yet to go with my hat and scarf, but I will be done soon. I got stuck on them and just kept putting them aside. Since I seldom have more than one project on the go I didn’t start anything else.

I have been feeling inspired more lately and I have a long list of things I really want to make. Winter is here and so is the desire to make warm, woolly things.

Lucky me, I’m doing Christmas dinner at my house this year. Yeah I’m just a little freaked out. Wish me luck.

It seems strange to be knitting a hat, scarf and mittens in August when it’s 35 degrees celsius outside. But set I knit myself several years ago is falling apart, especially the well loved flap mittens.

The hat is the pattern Thorpe , the scarf and mittens will be my own pattern.

The Dr. Who scarf is done! Pictures to come soon.

My latest project is a hat, scarf and mitten set for me this winter. It’s weird to think about winter when it’s hot and humid out. Pretty soon I have to start figuring out my Christmas gifts. I don’t want to let to the last minute again.

Hello? Fellow knitters?

I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth, really. Unfortunately life has grabbed me by the hair and just won’t let go. My husband broke his ankle in Judo class 5 weeks ago and I’ve been running around taking care of him and the girls. Not to mention I’m working and trying to build my design business.

I have been making time to knit. I’m still working away on the Dr. Who scarf which I think I only have a quarter left to do. It’s a monster of a scarf – so long.

I miss having time to dedicate to this blog and sharing things on Ravelry and here with fellow crafters, but I figure soon enough I’ll have the time again.

The scarf isn’t quite half way done, but is coming along quickly.

Here is the Welt sweater all done. I finally managed to get a picture of myself wear it. Pretty sad since it’s been done for about a month and this is the third time I’ve worn it.

I made these and these

and my new project is to make a Dr. Who scarf for my hubby. I’ve purchased the yarn and can’t wait to get started.
