What's new?

What's new here? Not much really. Lent is over. Two baby blankets sit on my printer awaiting me to weave in ends and sent to the Pregnancy Resource Center. Two..no three more are on the needles.

This is actually the 2nd one made with Loops and Threads Charisma. Total cost for 4 skeins: $10.

I like the colors, though others claim it's hideous. The pattern is one used for many things. I've seen it done for dishcloths and the like, Start with a few stitches, increase with yarn overs til a certain spot, then decreases back to the same CO stitches.

It's a big fluffy blanket for a baby.

The next one is made with yarn Dave picked out at Hobby Lobby.

It's hideous.


But the stripes on it are kinda cool.

The next colorway was picked out by a random lady at Hobby Lobby, but that's going to have to wait until later for pictures.

The pattern is by Lion Brand and is called the Lion Brand Diagonal  Comfort Blanket. The pattern is free:

Well, back to homework. School is going well. Would be going better if I'd remember to study before tests, but what can ya do.

1000th Feedback!!!

KIP Bags by Ruddawg has gotten their 1000th feedback! In honor of this momentous occasion, I am giving away a One of a Kind KIP Bag filled with goodies. The stuff? A sampling based on the idea "A Few of my Favorite Things." What are a few of my favorite things? Well, KIP bags, of course. This one is red velvet, 10" high by 7 1/2" wide. A red velvet wrist strap allows for knitting and walking at the same time. It has a decorator fabric bottom and fancy stitching at the top to give it a more festive look. What is in the bag? The top fuzzy item is a pair of socks. Not just socks, but a pair of those fuzzy and oh so soft socks. I am a fiend for socks! I ask for a new set of socks every year for my birthday. Next is a skein of Alpaca yarn - Caramel in color. I love, love LOVE alpaca! This skein is from Blue Sky Alpacas, 120 yards of Sport Weight Yarn. The red item is my most useful tool for knitting, sewing and everything else. It's a small swiss army knife that ...

Update on Knit-Alongs

Mystery Stole3: Ok, I am confessing that I honestly and truthfully did try to like the stole as the pattern was made, but it didn't click with me. Even after trying to re-dye the whole thing, I considered the wing with the stole portion to be discordant. So last night I frogged it all. OH the horror!! I'm re-working the stole portion as it's own pattern, probably for my Mom for Christmas. I've started it again, and put in the beads this time. Secret of the Stole: I started this one with my own handspun cream Targhee wool. It's weight is fingering weight and it's being knitted on size 3 addi circs. The beads are green. I didn't realize until I had gotten home with them that the chart has green squares as the indicator to put in a bead. Wow....can we say, subliminal? There was a comment on the email group that the two points were a great bikini top. My DH said the same thing this last weekend when I joined them all together. I was in the car at the time, drivi...

Secret of the Stole: Clue 3 Finished!

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/secretofthestole/ Clue 3 is finished! I am knitting it in handspun 2-ply yarn on size 3 addi circular needles with beads. The beads used to be only green, now I've added lavender and gold ones also. To me, this looks like a spider and web-themed stole. Notice the 3 spiders on it? I call them spiders because they have 8 legs each.
