When I think that I haven’t even gotten to read so many of your blog posts the last few days I have to sit and think…why? Well, my needles are steaming so I guess that means I have been keeping pretty busy!
Also, just before we get to picture-y goodness, I have also:
- Redone my About Page for the Blog.
- Am getting all the Stitch Patterns into their own drop-down menu on the blog – hopefully I will finish that tonight.
- Major amounts of photo editing.
- Updating my Etsy Store with things that most likely won’t sell – I still have hope.
Okay friends and neighbors, now to the pictures!!!
** THE LINK HAT – LONG STRIPED STOCKING HAT **
THE LINK LIKE HAT!
So I have made two of these in the past week, one for Sheri whose package never arrive on our swap (UPDATE: I just got an email that her package has finally arrived in Germany!! It only took one and a half months – God Bless the United States Postal Service). So now both hats need to be put up on the store.
** BOBBLES AND LACE AND SLOUCHY HAT GOODNESS **
So after starting down the road of super adventurous (and time-consuming) knitting, I needed a quick fix. This hat knit up very quickly and has all sorts of yummy bobbles, lace, ribbing, dimension and super fun stuff. I highly recommend it!
** SWEET AS HONEY RIBBED HAT **
I forgot that I had started making another one of these after the first one – because I gave the first one to a friend. This may be the biggest hurdle in running a business for me, I love giving things away! So when I saw it all lonely at the bottom of my knitting bag I went ahead and finished it.
** THE RUFFLE SCARF FROM HELL – WELL… TWO RUFFLE SCARVES FROM HELL **
Okay, this baby was born from the very sweet gift from a friend. It is Patons Pirouette Yarn and it is pretty when it is finished. Working with it though made me want to punch a wall and pull out my hair. Oh well, the two skeins are gone and I have two scarves to show for it.
I Hate You Ruffle Scarf Yarn….Even Though You Are Beautiful
** MY NEW ADVENTURE IN LACE KNITTING!! **
This has been the project taking up the majority of my time here lately, my very first attempt into lace knitting! I am so excited….like a kid at Christmas. The lace yarn (Patons again) was found at the bottom of my yarn stash so I just dug in. Size 3US circular needles and a nice, simple pattern for a beginner. I cannot wait to finish my precious!
Humble Beginnings
At About 120 Stitches
It Keeps Growing!
Close Up of the Lace. LACE
Alrighty, that about catches me up I think. I need to go work on my store, organize the pages for the Stitch Patterns a week, need to do the stitch patterns for this week and last week, work on my lace….
Sorry, I got distracted there.
Okay, plan B. I am going to knit then I am going to catch up with all my delicious blogging friends. I’ve missed you and cannot wait to see what you’ve been up to!
