A few finished projects!

I've been knitting this summer. Here are just two projects that I've finished.

First is a Gelato bag. It is a felted bag made from Lamb's Pride wool mohair blend. It was SO fun and easy to make. And it's so tiny and cute! My mom felted it for me since I've never felted and I have a front load washer. She also made the lining and I stitched it in. Not the best stitching job, but it works for me.

And the other is a baby blanket from the Stitch 'n Bitch book. It is a seed stitch border and blocks of stockinette stitch and garter stitch. I made it from dishcloth cotton and it turned out so nice! Our neighbor had a baby last month and this was her gift.

Have you been working on any projects this summer?

A Knitting Contest!!

KnittySue is having a blog contest. It's fun and easy. Just take a picture of your knitting corner and explain what is around it. The contest closes on the 20th.

So here is my knitting corner. It is in the corner of my bedroom.

To the right of the chair is a big basket. Inside the basket you will find patterns printed off the internet, yarn, finished projects and needles.

Beside the basket is a bag with yummy wool in it. I have wool for 2 different Gelato bags and also sport wool for 2 small Lucy bags, and the needles I need for those projects.

To the left of my chair are several bags with ongoing projects in them. The front bag has a baby blanket I am crocheting, a large Lucy bag I am making, plenty of patterns, needles, notions, crochet hooks and scissors, and dishcloth yarn and an unfinished dishcloth.

The next bag has an Ilene bag I started today. I'm making it from dishcloth cotton. It also has patterns and needles and notions and yet another unfinished dishcloth.

The next bag has a baby blanket I am knitting, extra yarn, needles, notions, etc.

The back bag is full of patterns and needles.

The wicker chest in front of the chair I use as a foot rest, hence the pillow. I sit in my room most evenings knitting and browsing the net on my laptop while watching tv.

So there you have it! My ADD knitting corner!
