Current Projects

Boot cuffs and toe up socks have been on the needles since Saturday. I didn't get much knitting done on Sunday due to having great friends/family over for the game. One is my adorable goddaughter/niece who I got to hold and snuggle.  I have plans for a cardigan for her in red or maybe sea green.  I am finishing my second part of boot cuffs for the cousins, had to leave for work with a few stitches left to bind off.  Then 2 more pair for Colorado and then one pair for Utah. I have made only one size large, the rest I am doing as mediums.

More toe ups

First clue completed on my MKAL and Fergie decided to find a new roost!

Catching up from the last week

I finished a sock since my last post and then started the 2nd sock.  I had a few rough days health wise so socks got a bigger focus than the baby afghan.

I did make it to half way on the afghan.

Fergie was enjoying the sun so much on Friday that she looked high or at least drunk.

A little knitting update

a few things off the needles yesterday

Turkish bed sock

Serrati shawl

More recovery knitting from the weekend

Well I knitted through the weekend again on the road to recovery.  I am so excited to have both wallabys knitted and after a bath tonight, they will be ready for the hand off.  I am a little nervous that the last one might be a little small for my nephew but if it is I will just knit him a different one.

The color really doesn't show up very well. But it is a forest green.  The whole reason I named it Forest Wallaby.  I feel that wallabys are like potato chips, you can't just knit one.

On Monday, after I kitchener the hood of this one. I immediately cast on a Baby Surprise Jacket. Small stuff is so much fun to knit. I decided as I am a little burnt out on socks that I would knit out of my stash and make a stash of baby items for friends and family. Then I will be ready whenever. I do have a special project for a friends grandbaby that I need to go get yarn for that project. Maybe on my day off Friday.

While I can't believe summer is going so fast. I am so ready to go back to my normal work schedule.  I only have a few more weeks of the summer schedule.  Back to my normal schedule on August 22nd.  Then a month later, I have a major dental appointment on September 22nd.  I will be so glad to have the dental stuff done.

Knitting Update

Well I finally got around to taking pictures of my Hermione's Everyday Socks that I finished back in May. I have dragged them around forever in my bag and today I finally remembered to grab a picture of them. 

Now they can take their bath and be put away for the fall/winter time.  I like the overall pattern but not the heel.  Next time I would just do my normal heel, instead of the one in the pattern.

Finished Projects

As you can see I did finish a few projects in the last few weeks. First was the baby wallaby for a friend's granddaughter. It turned out very cute and I have a picture on my cellphone of the cutie wearing it.  So cute.

My dad  asked for another pair of socks, so I cast them on March 2nd and finally finished them up on Sunday. I really love the color and they are sport weight so they are perfect for lounging around at home. My dad is always cold so I know that these will become a favorite for sure.

I am have few projects to that I want to cast on. I have a friend that is doing a hat and she has got me wanting to do it also. So Saturday I picked up yarn for it, along with some beautiful pink sock yarn for socks. I have an itching to do some lace work as spring is trying to spring but winter keeps attacking.  But lace work always makes it feel like spring to me so I am off to search ravelry for a pattern I will enjoy! Later All!

A little catch up of 2010 and 2011

Well today we got the last of the Christmas decoration put away so I thought it would be the best time to finish off 2010 knitting and what I am doing in 2011.

Total projects in 2010 : 34
Pairs of socks: 10
Hats: 9
Fingerless mitts: 3
Baby sweaters: 2
Shawls:2
Scarf: 1
Baby afghan: 2
Mini afghan: 5

The last few days of 2010 while recovering from an infected tooth I cast on and finished in 2011 a baby sweater. I called Test Wallaby as a friend has asked me to do one for her. So here is the test wallaby. I really like it as it is a fast knit.

Then I did finish the socks called flower power earlier this month.

I did cast on a week ago the wallaby for the friend.  Here is where I was at this afternoon before spending more time on it today.

Then on friday night I cast on a baby afghan for a girl in one of the shops around my office who is having a baby girl this spring. 

I have also been knitting some replacement dishcloths for the kitchen but I don't have any photos of those yet. So that ends last year and what I have started so far this year.
