Well, I thought I better post pictures of some of the knitting projects I’ve been working on. School let out in December, much to my relief. I took four classes from August-October and three classes from October-December. I was wiped out and ready for some serious knitting by the time my last final was done.
Here’s what I’ve been working on.
This was a Christmas present for my sister. I can post it now since she reads my blog. It’s the Black Sheep Booga Bag. I used Noro Kureyon 175.
This is a dishcloth I made with a pattern and yarn my swap partner sent me. The pattern is called A Little Lace Kitchen Cloth by Carol Bristol Designs. It’s free and available on the internet. I used Peaches and Creme Sea Mist.
This is the Branching Out scarf I made for a friend. She is going to use it as a table runner. I made it 40″, per her request. The yarn is Elsebeth Lavold, Moss colorway. It’s a great pattern and looks much more difficult than it really is.
This is the dishcloth I made for the KH New Year’s Eve Knit-a-Long. One of our members designed it. I used Sugar n Creme, Wine colorway. It’s a bit too dark, but it will be useful when my kids wash the dishes.
This is what I’m currently working on. It’s called Leaf Lace Scarf from twistedknitter.com. The yarn is from handpaintedyarn.com and is kettle dyed laceweight wool in Verde Manzana. It’s beautiful yarn but very thin. The pattern is not coming out like I want. I think the yarn is too light. So, I’m debating about whether to continue.
Alas…school starts on Monday, so it may stay on the needles for a while. This will give me a chance to decide what I want to do.

Hi!! I don’t know what too me so long to find your blog, but here I am!! I LOVE that bag! Your work is beautiful 🙂
Take care & War Eagle!
Thanks for the sweet comments! You’ve made my day! War Eagle!!
You must be on a roll, as I just found your blog, too ! I so enjoy your comments on my Ravelry projects, and just had to snoop a little and find out who and what you’re all about !
Very productive knitting for a holiday, girlfriend !
I love the boogabag……..I’m mad about felted purses !
And that lace scarf is the kind of thing that is rolling about in my head currently…….I really want to knit myself something very lightweight,( maybe using mohair), and very lacy. Yours is beautiful…….lucky and blessed friend you have there.
Hope to catch your eye, soon, with another one of my little projects. Be sure to check my blog ( http://thedottydline.blogspot.com/ ) occasionally for patterns I hope to share !
Oh my! I have readers who aren’t related to me (no offense, sis…you’re supposed to love me, you know!)
I’m thrilled and humbled that you both took time to comment! Thank you so much! Ravelry is, quite simply, an awesome place to check out projects and yarns. I’m spending too much time there…as you can probably tell!
I really like knitting lacy projects. I just don’t know why. Perhaps because they seem so complicated but are really quite easy? My KH swap partner quickly figured this out and sent me so many wonderful yarns and patterns for lacy items.
So, go for it! Yarn overs and ssks are not that bad!
The Branching Off Scarf is absolutely stunning! That’s very creative to use it as a table runner – you can use it year round – & show off the details. Good job!
Thank you, Rebecca! Your comments are so sweet! 🙂
