FO: One Row Scarf

I finished this scarf back in December. (Just call me a bad blogger as I haven't posted till now!)



Pattern: One Row Scarf

Yarn: Moda Dea Twiddle Dee


Thoughts: I loved knitting this scarf! Super easy pattern (Only 4 stiches to remember, you can't get any easier!) The finished product was so soft and thick and warm. I started this scarf to give away but after I felt how warm it was I decided to keep it.

FO: Bamboo Cloth

Pattern: Bamboo Cloth

Yarn: Bernant Handicraft Cotton Ultrasoft - Neptune Ombre

Now I have 3 matching dishclothes to give to my sister for Christmas. :)

FO: Baktus Scarf

Pattern: Baktus Scarf (Ravelry link)

Yarn: Cherrry Tree Hill "Northern Lights"

Finished: Maybe last month? I can't really remember I just remember I didn't have my laptop yet.

Hints: If you make it make sure you knit alot of increases. I wish mine was just a bit bigger.

A better picture? Sure. :)

FO: Baby Hat

My knitting has been going very slowly lately but I was able to finish this cute little baby hat. It's meant for a 2-3 month old but boy is it tiny. I'd love the see the baby who fits this one! I have 3 friends (and my sister) who are pregnant so we'll see who has a boy first.

The pattern is Purple Baby Hats (I did version B and knit 3 and 1/2 inches between the end of the cuff and starting the decreases.) and it's made from some left over Malabrigo that a Chelle gave to me. I had just enough for the hat.

Isn't it so cute!

More Finished Knitting Projects

As promised here are a couple more items I've knitted this year. These are the slippers I knit for my sister back when it was still winter. Made from Lion Brand Homespun. I wished it used the whole skein but sadly I still have enough yarn left for another pair.















My most recent FO is this neck warmer called Tudora. This was made from the yummy Malabrigo my Secret Swap Pal gave me!
















What? Can't you tell from the above pic what it is or how it should be worn? Alright this is me wearing it. (Beware: Bad picture alert!!)

Don't say I didn't warn ya!

It's been way to long since this blog has had any knitting content. I finally got around to re-charging the battery on my camera and found all these old FOs! So here are a couple dishcloths I've knit in the past couple of months.




This is the Waffle Knit Dishcloth and is knit with the remains of 2 balls Bernat Handicraft Cotton.






This one is the Bamboo Cloth made from from some left over Bernat Handicraft Cotton and Sugar n' Cream.






I liked the pattern for the Bamboo Cloth so much I made another!







This is the Linked Hearts Dischcloth that I made from Sugar n' Cream. Both the yarn and the pattern were gifts from a past swap.

This is the No Holes Dishcloth made from Sugar n' Cream, Plum Pudding.

If you've stuck around this long... well thanks! I know dishcloths are not the most interesting knitted items. I have some more knitting stuff to share but will save it for a latter day. :)

FO: Green Gable Sweater

My first knitted sweater is now done! I feel so proud to be able to wear something that I've made. It was actually much easier than I thought it would be.

The pattern is for a short sleeved sweater but I lengthed them abit. Once the pattern ended I knit 3 rounds, then knit two together at the begininging of every three rounds. The sleeves are quite tight and I'd reccommend doing them looser. I fully used the 3 skeins of Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece that I bought. I had only 68 inches of yarn left! If I knit this again I would do more waist shaping. In fact I will be knitting another Zypher pattern. My secret swap 13 pal swapped patterns with me. So I will be knitting Wicked next.

In addition she gave me a gift certificate for Knit Picks! I bought 10 skeins of Wool of the Andes in Spruce. This is 2 extra skeins than needed for the sweater so I shouldn't have to worry about running out this time! It's my first time ordering from Knit Picks and my order has already been shipped. I'm excited to get the package. :) If I have extra yarn I can knit a matching hat or scarf.

FO Report

I finished the slippers and gave them to my sister on Tuesday. She seemed to like them even though they were abit big on her feet. The yarn that I complained about really isn't that bad once I got used to it. (It was a commercially made homespun type of yarn.)

I also finshed the No Holes Dishcloth, just because... well, why knit if you don't have a dishcloth on the needles! :P

(Still no computer in the house so you get no pics and just abit of sparatic posting.)

WIP (Wednesday) Part 2 on Thursday

As promised yesterday here are the pictures of my works in progress. We start with the finished fetching, made with Debbie Bliss cashmerino aran:











Next is the Swiffer Cover being made with Lily Sugar n' Cream:











And finally here is the first slipper being made from some acrylic I found the "stash".












As an aside..... is it Friday yet? Although I'm putting in less hours at work I feel more tired this week than last.

FO: Socks

Just because you asked, Chelle, here's a picture of both of the finished socks. They've been worn, washed, and worn again.

Yarn: Berroco Sox colour# 1426

There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease!

I think I have a serious case of startitis! For every 1 item that comes off the needles I have another 2 or 3 that want to be on the needles.

Last month I finished this dishcloth:

Last night I finished this one:

I also worked on a second pair of Fetching fingerless mitts this weekend. (Christmas gift for a friend.)

What I want to be working on is:

Green Gable

Aunt Maggie's Slippers (another Christmas present, if done in time)

Cabled Rangoli Hat

Swiffer Cloth (gift, but likely not for Christmas)

Lace Ribbon Scarf (on the needles but not a current project)

Plus while looking through the stash yesterday I found a cowl I got sick of knitting last year. Now seeing it again I want to pick it up and start knitting it again. Ack! What's a girl to do?!!

PS. Title from a Jon Bon Jovi song....Bad Medicine!

FO: Pin Wheel Blanket

Just a quick little post to show you an unblocked picture of the pinwheel blanket.

PS. Best Buy had no trouble taking back the open package with the wrong size memory card.

FO Report: Fetching (fingerless mitts)

Fetching
Originally uploaded by juliabca

I finished knitting Fetching last Tuesday. This was a really fun and easy knit! The colour is darker that the picture shows, but this picture shows the cables best. The yarn is Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran, and is super soft. My work is freezing in the winter and this is where I plan on using these mitts.The top edge has a picot cast off and this is something new I learnt while making these mitts.

Pictures re-do

I don't think the pictures posted yesterday, so here's a second try.
