Projects No. 4 and No. 5...

 Project No. 4
... My first footie!

 ... ran out of yarn on this one... so I'll just have to play musical feet for a little while.

Project No. 5
... My first socks!!

 ... I just used what yarn I had on hand for this one.  I wanted to test out the pattern before I bought more yarn to make it for real.  Glad I did because the cast-on and increasing needs a little tweaking.



Holla!

Projects 3.1 and 3.2

 

 These are my first attempts at felting. 
Much is still desired with regards to my technique :):

Fait Accompli

 The Market Bag is finished!!

 ... Unfortunately, Blogger is tripping with my pictures!
Until I can figure out what is wrong, you can see them here.

Holla!

Welp, soo much for that!

I had big plans to get up early and scoot to the post office before work this morning and pick up a package of yarn I ordered from TaddyBeeKnitting’s Etsy Shop.  Only to waylaid by the notification that the local PO only opens at 8am on Saturdays! Today is Wednesday!...:-(

I had wanted to take ‘le sac du marche’ to the FG/CH K&C meet up tonight and try to make some more progress... bbooooo!!

Luckily, one of my co-workers brought me a copy of a[nother!] scarf from LB.com that just so happens to call for the same homespun yarn I picked up on sale at LBStudio this past Sunday.

It looks to be a super easy/quick pattern that I might be able to make some major headway into very quickly... between the wine and beer runs that is..sniff (... or hiccup, as it were.)

Crochet Ruffle Scarf from LB.com

projet numéro deux

 ... le sac du marché

Holla!

A little Saturday afternoon knitting...

...found this easy cables pattern over at LionBrand.com.

The yarn is un-dyed Peruvian Highland wool I picked up yesterday from a Brooklyn LYS, Knit-A-Way, yesterday.
As a rule, I don't care for wool... it always feels to hard and scratchy on my skin... this un-dyed quality feels quite soft and I still haven't gotten that itchy feeling from it.  I have high hopes that this little scarf will become a staple in my winter wardrobe.

I have my last class at Lion Brand Studio tomorrow morning... I get 10% off student discount aanndd they're having their summer sale... SCORE!  I've had my eye on some 100% baby alpaca and a cotton/bamboo blend.

If anybody is on Ravelry... friend me.... feeling kind of lonely in there...;-)


Holla!

Done and Done!

I'm soo proud.  It's my first knitted object!

Well.... technically, this...

... is my first finished object... :(:


But since that was supposed to be a scarf and NOT a hand towel, lets just pretend like it didn't happen, shall we?

Holla!

Not tha Mama!!
