Pictures of Knitting!!!!






I am going to upload some pictures of recent and current knitting. This first photo is Hailey wearing the little Sublime Sweater "Hush" from one of the Sublime books. I did not use a Sublime yarn, because I loved this color so much more than the ones that Sublime had to offer. I started it in the spring, and in general I would say it is an easy knit, I just put it down and made no notes so when I picked it up again I was totally lost. Thank you Michelle for straightening me out and I was able to finish before the summer ended. It fits Hailey like a glove now and I am sad to say she will probably outgrow it before next spring.











This is a ribbed neckwarmer made with Malabrigo Silk blend. Great yarn and really soft and yummy. Thinking this will be a Christmas present. This is a good take along project because it is small and no pattern required.













This is the project I started yesterday for no good reason but that I hold secret (or not so secret) lust for this Zauberball yarn. I have been eyeing it for weeks and finally broke down yesterday. I looked at patterns on Ravelry because although it is sock yarn, I did not really like it as socks. I saw it knit up in the Batkus Scarf pattern and decided that it is pretty brainless and would make another excellent gift. It looks a bit bumpy on the edges right now but I think as it grows it will have some weight and a good blocking will take care of that. I also modified the way I increased based on a Ravelers recommendation.
I am really digging posting the photos, pardon me if I get way too carried away with this, I even have some finished hats that might go up next. Happy Labor Day to everyone!

  1. Wow, everything looks great! The sweater looks fabulous on Hailey. She is looking so grown-up! I have decided that my holiday gifts are going to be smaller projects, faster and satisfying! I am holding off on another sweater for a bit. I might give some socks a try though!!
