80's Flashback...

Are You Serious??? Legwarmers Are Back In Style?  Heck Yesss!!!  Check out these adorable MAGIC legwarmers.  Took me a couple days and I just loved seeing what color was going to be knit up next...a nice surprise to say the least.

Totally Rockin The 80's =)
The Best Part is that no sooner was I done and letting Miss Hailey model them for my photo...she asked if she could wear them to school tomorrow...SWEET SUCCESS...Music to my ears!!!

Learn Somethin' New...

So I have wanted to knit socks for a while now...kinda went away from that for a while...and so I was thinking about how I really wanted to knit a sock with a pattern in it.  I searched for a while online to find a pattern that I could actually follow easily.  I found one...finally.  I love it!  Now if I can get the second sock to look identical we will be doin' awesome! What do you think???

Skinny Cables Scarf

I asked my daughter to pose my scarf for me to put on the blog and I am glad I did....she made me smile!  Isnt she just too cute for words?  This is what I call a "Kodak Moment".
Now, lets get to the scarf, lol. As you can see its turned backwards on the one side, but you can clearly see the cables that run through the entire scarf. Very pretty, huh?  This is a Skinny Scarf with Cables. 
Now, I really liked doing this one as it was an easy pattern to follow.   This is my first time making fringe this long (using a dvd case to wrap the yarn around makes it the perfect length) and I love it!  Anyhow, I would love to get some comments so what do ya think?

Knitted Baby Ugg Boots

                                                                                                      I just love these.  Came across this great lil patternhttp://www.knittingonthenet.com/patterns/babybootiesugg.htm done on straight needles.  They whipped up real quick. As the pattern stated ," Every baby should have a pair of Baby Uggs"  I made these darling lil booties for a friend of mine.  She has no idea yet.  I hope she enjoys them as much as I enjoyed knitting them! =)

The "No Rhyme or Reason" scarf...

I must admit I was very worried that I wouldnt have enough yarn to finish (with just the grey colors) right from the start and then along the way I threw in 2 additional colors.  I just randomly changed it up a bit every step of the way...Whenever I got bored of one color I would switch it up, at some points even knitting 2 strands of color together. I just loooove how it turned out.  It reminds me of those bench seat covers for the oldies hot rod shows. Very Mannnnly =) What do you think???  Give me a shout out! =)
