Hats!!!

Since I have become a memeber of Ravelry it has been hard to post. I feel as though all my time is spent on the site. I have finished a couple of projects since my last post. First up is the Pirate Hat. Love the pattern. I knit this for my oldest using Knitpicks Palette. The yarn is black and white. My son loves his new hat and is awaiting the arrival of the matching mittens. Especially since he has lost one mit of his new pair of gloves I just bought him 2 weeks ago.


The second is a hat that I made for a friend who needed a new red hat to match red gloves she bought. I believe the pattern is called Simple Beanie. I used Caron Simply Soft in red and had this done in about 1 day. She loves it. I wasn't sure if it would fit her but she said it was perfect.

I have a couple of other projects going that I am trying to have done before Christmas but I don't know if they will get done. One is a blanket for my parents. Also my mom has requested a new pair of felted slippers because she blew the heel out of the ones from last year. I have one done so far and need to finish the other one before Sunday.

Lots of knitting to be done and time is running out. I also joined several new groups and hopefully they will be great too.

Time to get my oldest one off to school and I will check back in when I have time.

It's been awhile

Well, I finished the scarf which I will post a pic of soon. I also finished several baby things for a shower.

The best part of it all is I finally got my Ravelry invite. I had been waiting since July. It is the best site ever!!!

Well I am off to ravelry. I will post again soon.

Great pattern

I am working on a the http://smariek.blogspot.com Persephone from Smariek Knits. It's for a very good friend for her birthday next month. She wanted a pink sweater but not enough time. So she will be getting a very beautiful pink scarf and then I will try for a pink sweater for Christmas.




The yarn is Cascade Cloud9. I believe it is 50% merino wool and 50% angora. I absolutely love this yarn. It is soooo soft. It is worsted weight yarn and I am using a size 7 16" circular needle. I did try it on straights and just didn't like the weight of the needles. It's been a long time since I have used straight needles. Love the circulars. The pattern calls for DK weight yarn and size 6 needles, but this was the only pink yarn I have. I love this pattern. It is very easy and easy to remember.

I am also working on the Snowdrop Shawl from the Yarn Harlot. I am almost done with the shawl and then need to work the edging. Pics of that to come.

Also if you haven't heard Webs http://www.yarn.com is having their summer sale intil September 4 (I believe). Great yarn!! I have already placed 2 orders.

Pinwheel Sweater

Here is a Pinwheel Sweater that I made with Knitpicks Wool of the Andes. The pattern came from Elann's I believe.

New to the blogging world

I am new to the blogging world but have been knitting for the past 2 years. I have been debating on starting a blog for some time now and am really glad that I did. I hope to share as much with you as you have shared with me (reading all of your blogs).
