The project I asked you to guess about whas 1/2 of this.
Isn’t it cute? If I make these to give away I have to figure out a better way to sew the fabric lining onto the knit pieces. It’s not quite right.
The yarn is from a sweater I bought at the thrift store for $1 [...]
James and I went on a nature walk a couple days ago. I practiced taking silhouette shots.
Here he’s looking at the lake and telling me to hurry up!
Here is the latest project I’m working on. Can you guess what it is?
(this hat was knit by me–I just used it for a knitting photo)
Last year I shared a quote I read in a knitting book. An article talked about knitting in prison and this made me smile.
Skip LeBarge supervises inmates who make knit and crochet animals.
“You ain’t seen nothin’ until a guy doing 800 years [...]
Here are the last few projects I worked on over our vacation.
Socks for James–he wears them like slippers. The pattern I found for his pair uses thicker yarn and bigger needles. They knit up quite fast.
Then I just HAD to knit socks for my “due any day now” nephew. We’re so excited but I suppose [...]
I made them a little bigger than I probably should have. Next time I’ll follow the pattern better!
Aren’t they so cute? The color is a bit off because I took them at night but you can get the idea.
I am so proud of my new sock knitting skill! I did decide that it’s a wonderful [...]
Isn’t this a pretty little blanket? My sister in law doesn’t read my blog (at least I don’t think she does!) so I think I can put a preview here.
I’m enjoying knitting for him and thinking up all sorts of things that he has to have!
It wasn’t so fun when I had to rip several [...]
I saw this on a blog or two today and thought I’d play along. Most of my baby photos aren’t on the computer and my scanner isn’t working lately. So this is all I have–a scrapbook layout or two. Sorry they’re not the best photos either.
I was 3 in both of these.
I’m still learning this whole soap making thing. I’m really enjoying it and actually think I’m getting closer to figuring it out.
This was batch #3 and I didn’t know that citrus essential oils don’t do very well in cold process soap making. I used tangerine essential oil in it as well as grated orange peel [...]
The first week of Christmas break, I mostly got ready for Christmas.
The second week my wonderful siblings were here. (Minus one–boohoo!) We enjoyed just being together.
The third week, I tried to do some of the projects that I had been wanting to learn.
#1. Kool-aid dyeing wool. I read on some blog that she froze the [...]
I picked up Knitting For Peace yesterday because I saw on another blog that this book has a great pattern for an afghan.
As I looked through it, I found a section on knitting in prisons. The author explained how inmates knit blankets and hats for charities and how doing so helps them pass the time [...]
