I've been busy with Jury Duty this past month and haven't really been doing much else. I did make these though...I edited a pattern from Lisa Loyd.Had to make quite a few changes to get the sock to look a bit neater, but I think they came out great! I'm giving them to my Best Friend, Rhonda!I started an afghan with my Aurora 9, but no pictures of that yet.Happy Knitting!

To respond to a few comments posted...The yarn for my Clapotis is from Mystical Creations Yarns, it's rayon. I've never attended a Stitch and Pitch, but I do knit at baseball games! Update on my To Do list... haven't worked on any of my projects! I got 15 balls of Aurora 8 last week and have been working on a pattern for it!Update on PRGE... I have my first package ready to ship out this weekend!

Here's the yarn I am going to use for my Clapotis...And here's some Fantasy Natural cotton I got from Patternworks...I haven't done anything from my to do list but wind my yarn. I cast on for 2 new projects! I've got to get organized and finish some of these things!We're taking the kids to the Providence Bruins game today, so although I knit during church, I won't be knitting until tonight.Happy

I started on my 2nd reversible hat. I'm knitting both sides at the same time. I'm alternating knitting a few rows on one side and then a few rows on the other side. The pattern is at Elann in the free patterns; Harlequin Cap I will post a pic later.Happy Knitting!

I figured out how to make a tiny sweater ornament! I am using double strands of Baby Cashmere on 2 circs size 3.I think I'm going to like making these little cuties!Happy Knitting

I just love the feel of Baby Cashmere! It's a baby alpaca, merino wool and cashmere blend. I double strand it and use size 6 or 7 needles.I made this round baby blanket with a modified Pinwheel Sweater Pattern from Elann's free patterns. I just didn't put in sleeves and I added a ruffle.Then I made the Bunny Blanket Buddy out of 4 strands of the Baby Cashmere knit on Size 11 needles.

I met a wonderful lady last year at a knitting guild weekend get-a-way and she was wearing the Einstein Jacket. The simple construction and great look was inspiring! I finally got around to making one for my boss's daughter.This picture is the pre-blocked stage... the sleeves looked much better after I blocked it! I was worried about the sleeves and I think I will do them slightly different next

Ok, I'm going to try the blogging thing again. I will post pictures and some directions for the things that I knit. I'll share some of my thoughts on knitting books I own and my opinion of different yarns I've used. And I'm sure I'll share some ramblings of my life in general.Hopefully, I will come across some Swaps, Contests or Knit-a-Long's to get involved with. Pass along links if you have
