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...

November Finishes

I've had a couple finished projects in the past week that I wanted to share. The first is a hat and scarf set that I actually just finished tonight. I wasnt too sure about the hat. Its a beret. What do you think???

Then I finished another sweater Peanut, our dog. She loves to strut her stuff :)

Knit Dog Sweater

Here we have our dog Peanut. She is modeling her first KNIT dog sweater. I am really proud of this sweater. I followed a pattern and it was actually easy to understand. Usually patterns and my brain do not mix well. :) Anyhow, have had many compliments on this one...so I am excited to knit the next one. Isnt she so cute? lol

Honeycomb Stitch Hat

Check out the model...isnt she adorable? Thats Hailey, my 7 year old daughter. This was my first attempt at finishing the honeycomb stitch pattern. I had tried (pic below) to make one with smaller (size 4) needles....man was that ever a struggle. Broke my needle and that was that. It was much easier on the bigger (size 9) needles. Anyhow, you can find the honeycomb stitch hat pattern on youtube. I have learned everything I know on youtube...much better than book patterns if you ask me.

Small Throw Blanket...

Trying to dwindle down my yarn stash, this is what I have come up with...a small throw for the couch. Knit in garter stitch. I am debating on adding a crochet border. I came very close to running out of yarn for each of the colors in this blanket and miraculously I finished by the skin of my teeth. lol. If I do a border it will be in a color that is similar...gotta use up the stash.

Aaaaaagh Drat!!!

Seems to be my luck lately...I learned a new stitch pattern (Honeycomb) and of course...wouldnt ya know it? My darn needle breaks right after the first use. Talk about frustrating. I am using bigger needles and attempting to make another hat with this pattern so please look forward to another post of the finished results.

Washcloth Craze

So I have fancied looking for new WC patterns and here are a few that I have finished over the last month. The ones with designs are very time consuming and make me wish that I had a printer so that I dont have to sit near the pc in order to keep up with the pattern...but sooo worth it in the end. I have a few ideas up my sleeve for blankets using these picture type WC's. I have a lot more time now that my daughter is back in school....so we shall see what my next project shall be.
