Project #1 for Lora =) Hat & Scarf set.

F

Finished my latest project for Lora (the lady I made a dog sweater for in my last post).  A lace stitch scarf with fringe and a hat made on 2 straight needles.  I have never before knitted a hat without using circular needles.  I have to say doing it on straight needles is sooo much easier.  I enjoyed doing this one...now onto the next set.  =)

Not wanting to rush to winter weather, but....

And one of my newest models is the cute lil miss Katie...my friend Loras Chi. She wanted a cute sweater for winter.  Doesnt she look super cute? Probably not too thrilled with being dressed...lol, but she will be warm =)

Im thinkin' Coffee...you?

The whole while I was knitting up these funky socks I kept thinking about coffee and its pretty fitting dontcha think? Took my two days to whip these out.  I love them.  I have learned more along the way on these.  I was able to actually knit up the gusset without leaving any holes behind.  Woohoo! You will have to excuse the "slouchiness" of the socks...I had Hailey model them for me. Now, I am going to make a pair for her cuz she just loves these! =)

Off Topic (My Beautiful Daughter Hailey)

One day in our rainy state of Washington, it decided to be a beautiful day.  My daughter and I took off for "adventures" at the great Burnt Bridge Creek Trails.  I had fun shooting fantastic photos of my beautiful girl. We had a wonderful time together that day.  We fed the ducks, watched the fish in the pond, and even were lucky enough to see a baby bunny along the way.

Haileys Lonnng Awaited Socks...

I finally finished my daughters socks. She has been waiting a long time. Arent they cute? I mean, this is only the third time making socks...I cant wait to learn new patterns and such now that I have the basic sock making down. =)

Socks Socks, the magical fruit...

This here is a pair of socks that I made for
my dh. (I had my dd model them as I was too excited to wait for him to get home...lol) This is my second pair of socks. Exciting!
I cant wait to start on another pair, but I am going to invest in
larger sized DPN's cuz I have a ton of yarn stash that I would like to use.
I learned a few tricks to eliminate the holes that come when knitting the gusset. So, I cant wait to try it out...happy knitting.
