Knitting Machine… January 12, 2009

For some reason, I did quite a bit of knitting this weekend. I finished a Christmas Gift, that really shouldn’t have taken this long:

I made a cabled beret for the lady that trims my hair for me.  This was a really quick knit for me, I can’t wait to make me a few:

I also worked on my square scarf.  I’ve done a little over 15 repeats, so I have about 5 more to go!

After that, I’m going to work on my Lady E so I can get that finished.

Then I will be ready to start my CPH!  Which will be my first sweater!!

Another FO (Finished Object) October 21, 2008

I finished the hat to complete my sisters birthday gift!!  I’m on a roll.

I started a Danica for my mom:

I’m using Patons SWS Natural Earth.  Initially I thought I would hate knitting with this yarn, but it isn’t too bad.

My goal is to finish the Manitou Passage Scarf for my co-worker next.

I think it’s going to take some time, but if I work on it everyday, I should be good.  I’m using Patons Wool for this scarf and size 7 needles.  It’s definitely going to be thick, but I think the pattern wouldn’t look as good otherwise.

My entrelac with Berroco Jasper is going pretty good.  I like the yarn, I wish the skeins had more yarn, but I guess that’s the case with most yarns.  There’s not local place that carries the yarn, and I don’t really want to order any, so that’s limiting how long I can make it.
I have so many things that I want to make, typical of most knitters.  Just seems like there isn’t enough time.  If only I could figure out a way to stop working so I could knit all day.  I’m sure I would get tired of it then!  And I suppose the bills have to be paid.
