lack of knitting... 2

There is still a large lack of knitting. I have knit for 10 mins in the last 2 weeks... How sad is that? Very, I think. I plan on working on my brothers scarf cause is birthday is the 6th of April. I hope to get it done... I hope you all are having fun knitting! :)

lack of knitting...

I haven't been doing much knitting. Things have been crazy. I have been sick and away from home with out my knitting. *gasp* I know it is a crazy idea, considering that I always carry some knitting project with me. I did knit on my friends green scarf. We decide that we would knit in sections so it would look striped. I knit much looser then she does. I think it will be fun!

I have also been busy working on my other site layouts. They aren't open but will be soon.

I went to the doctor yesterday and she put me on some meds for my anxiety. So far I feel more at peace, but more drugged up then I like to be....

mom's scarf

It has been so beautiful and sunny. It seems silly to be working on scarfs... So there has been quite a lack of knitting. So here is my mama's scarf! More Homespun but this is Cobalt. CO 19 sts, then knit. I am also working on an adult hat. We will see how it goes and get some pix....

a scarf for daddy

This is the first scarf I ever started. I wanted to to be for my dad becuase he needed it. I started it Aug. 2004. I CO 35 st and knit forever! I had to take a few breaks from knitting it because it to so long to make one row! I felt very bad for my pop.

Mom jokes that the reason the weather has been so nice here is because I finished my dads scarf! I am also the reason we had so little snow... That made me very sad!

The reason I added the hole was so I wouldn't have to make it 2 feet longer and so it would be easier for my dad to wear. He has Cerebral Palsy. With the hole he can get it on and not worry about it falling off. My sweet father loves it. I am glad, but I don't think I will try to make this scarf ever again!

rainbow scarf

I have finished my rainbow scarf! The second scarf I have made for myself. I bought the yarn becuase it was on sale. I bought skein and started knitting. I decided I loved it and wanted it to be super long so went back and 2 more. I had a hard time finding the yarn online to give a link. It is Moda Dea, Chache in gypsy. I used size 11 needles. CO 17 st then knitted till the scarf was 6.5 feet.

The yarn is so textured and great. It changed thickness, I didn't like that in the beginning, because I had never used something like that.
It was to different tones of multi colors, plus some gold thread.

Finished product. I am so proud! :)

The kitty butt really adds!

Kiddie fun 2

I made finger puppets for the older kiddies. I got the idea from puppers.
I changed the pattern a bit. I knitted on dpn like my lighter cozies! Much easier for me cause the pattern confused me. I started making four
but changed my mind and just sent two for now. I think it would be more fun to send them slowly. The kids can be members of the animal finger puppet monthly club! All the yarn I used is from my stash.

The bunny bun-bun is made out of TLC Baby in white and some Baby Monkey eyelash in white. I added a pom-pom tail!


The kitty is some random black yarn I had in the house. I couldn't really get the ears they way I wantd them. Oh well.


Soon I am going to finish the Ellephant and Bear.

Kiddie fun

I have been very busy the last few days! I made my first hat and some finger puppets! My boys sister is having a baby this week!
Same sister that lives in Alaska. I really wanted to make the new baby something so decide on a hat. I had never made one before and had
a hard time finding a pattern.I ended up finding a pattern for an apple hat.
I changed it by using sport yarn vs. the worsted and got rid of the stem and leaves. It is so tiny and sweet!

The pictures do not do the color justice! The yarn is
TLC Baby in Bunny Print.
I also bought some in the Powder Yellow cause it was on sale.

After show the hat to my boys mom, she said I should make some more baby hats for the babies that she rocks once a
week at a local hospital. I thought that was a great idea! I told my mother cause she used to make blakets to babies.
She always thinks happy thoughts for them while she is making them. The whole idea makes me happy! :)


Puppy didn't want to try the hat on. She wanted to eat it!
