My latest knitting project!

I made a pair of fetchings (fingerless gloves). It was my first project on double pointed needles AND making cables.

It was surprisingly easy! and quite fun. You can whip these out in a couple of movies :::snort::: It took me a couple weeks, though, because I did not work on them diligently.

The pattern is from knitty.com

Dishclothes!

I am knitting new dishcloths for my kitchen. I am having so much fun doing it, too. Here are two I made last week.

I just started a white one that is a basket weave pattern. It's the berry basket weave, I think, at knittingpatterncentral.com

I started knitting a new dishcloth. It is such a FUN pattern to knit! It's the pattern inside the Peaches & Cream cotton label. It matches my kitchen perfectly!!!

The color is growing on me. Doug is going to paint the cabinets and then I'll decide if I want to repaint the green a different shade, OR keep the minty green color ...........

Isn't this baby blanket adorable? I finished knitting it on Monday evening. I did most of the work while on the road with Doug.

It is SO soft! And SO easy to do.

I have become addicted to knitting! I started another baby blanket tonight. A dishcloth pattern. I figured one or two more baby blankets and I can move onto something more challenging.

I like to make the bunting Mom gave me the pattern for, but I need to get size 8 needles first!

You can find the pattern for the baby blanket here:

Knitting!

I'm finally knitting something other than dishcloths and furry scarves :)

For as long as I can remember, my mom has knitted and crocheted. I've crocheted for years, and have dabbled in knitting. I've decided to do more than dabble.

Here's a picture of what I have done so far on a baby bunting. My little sister is having a baby the end of Oct. and this will be her gift, I HOPE! It is much slower going than crocheting is LOL...... But so far I am really enjoying myself!

Hopefully I'll have updated photos to post in a timely manner :)
