I ended up buying yarn for two projects this week and yes, I’ve started both of them. This along with my continued progress on the dishcloths and a second shrug. Really got a little off track this week. The first project is a baby bunting that I’ve been wanting to make for awhile. I just… Continue reading New Yarn and New project

I did an inventory of my finished dishcloths. There are 22. So, I have 78 to go to reach my goal of 100. I know now that I have plenty of cotton yarn to reach my goal. I’m not sure what I’ll make with the yarn after I finish 100 cloths. Maybe I’ll start on… Continue reading Total 22 and a New YARN

Here it is!. I’m really excited about this. It’s great for trips to the grocery store. I still have to attach the handles (also from my supplies on hand). It’s made from using more of the cotton yarn that I have. First I made front and then picked up stitches along the edge for sides… Continue reading My Knit Grocery Bag

The shopping bag that I’m knitting with the cotton yarn is coming out great! It is taking a bit longer than I hoped but it will be a good size when done. I’m about 3/4’s done. I also found wooden handles in my studio and some plastic ones. So again I can use what I’ve… Continue reading Shopping Bag Still in Progress

It’s been a busy week. I’ve worn my new shrug a lot. To work with a pair of slacks and a tank top, and all weekend when I went shopping. It’s great when the air conditioning is just a little to cool for bare shoulders. Here’s a photo. I also finally sewed together this summer… Continue reading The Shrug, A Poncho and 3 Dishcloths FINISHED!

I’m so pleased! I finished the cotton and silk shrug in less than two weeks and still managed to finish a dishcloth and start another. This is the fastest I’ve finished a project in quite awhile. It fits great too. I just went through my collection of yarn and I have enough of a denim… Continue reading Shrug Finished in record time

I’ve been working steadily on the cotton shrug. I only have the second shoulder and short sleeve to complete. At this rate, I should have it done on Saturday. I think I’ll make a second one. I have yarn in my stash that will be perfect. I haven’t checked the gauge yet but I’m pretty… Continue reading Feather n Fan Finished & Shrug almost done

I am continuing to make progress on the dishcloths. It’s been a busy week so I’m still working on the second feather and fan cloth. But, I couldn’t resist a project for myself. There’s a terrific cotton shrug at my local store that many people are making. It’s perfect for the summer. Since I have… Continue reading Maybe just one new project!!!

Every other Thursday evening, I meet with a group at my local yarn store to work on a charity knitting program that we started last fall. It’s always a fun evening and we’re making hats, mittens, and scarves for children in our area. Being in the shop surrounded by all that yarn is always tempting.… Continue reading Instead of buying Yarn-Got a New Knitting Bag

I finished another double strand cloth yesterday. That’s it for awhile. I put down the Size 11 needles and picked up a second set of size 8 needles. It’s amazing, how many of those I own. Reducing the number of knitting needles that I have is also on my list of things to do. I’m… Continue reading New Pattern
