Ankle Socks...




My first knit sock. I wanted to show detail...this is from a simple pattern. It showed step by step which helped tremendously. I need to make the second one. I was doing great up until I got to the shaping of the heel and I messed up so I had to take it out completely and start over. I had gone too far past the mess up...thinking it wouldnt be noticeable, but I noticed it. lol. So I am starting again on the second sock and hope to accomplish it...but anyhow, for a first knit sock I am quite proud. I love it and I can feel a sock addiction coming on. IF I can figure out new patterns. Wish me luck...
I will post the pair once I finish.

Had big plans...

I had big plans for this scarf. I was going to fold it along the back and seam it up...then add fringe. Once I finished this one...It was far too lightweight and pretty to go the extra mile on. It looks great the way it is.

Basketweave :) Scarf




This one took me a lonng time to finish. Another easy pattern.... The Basketweave. This one is another success!

Drop Stitch Lacey Scarf




I really enjoy doing this pattern. So easy!!! I love how this one turned out.

Two ways to wear it...




I originally was working on a beanie for Albert, but it was far too big for his head. Ooops. So I decided to try and see if I could turn it into a beret. He has only worn it once. He says he likes it, but I have snagged it from him so much that he doesnt even get the chance to wear it. I need to make another one for myself so he can have his back. lol.

Lace stitch scarf

Lace Stitch that I picked up and had a hard time putting down. I was really upset that I had ran out of the grey-blue yarn, but all in all it turned out really nice even with the choice of yarn added. I like this pattern so much that I am planning on making one for my daughter using the stash of yarn I balled together. It will be a suprise of colors...
