Stuff I’ve Been Working On

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.
