Before I say anything about (some of) my current projects, I'd love to invite you all to enter a giveaway that I'm hosting. The winner will receive a copy of The Knit & Crochet Notebook: Project Planner and Organizer. I highly recommend this notebook for anyone who knits or crochets.
Now for the things that are keeping me busy! I am working on a big project right now, but I can't share it until next month. I'm pretty excited about it.
I'm still working on knitting my purple cowl, although I am tempted to unravel it and start again. I am not super happy with the starting edge and think that I could do better. This Homespun yarn is so difficult to photograph! What do you think? Should I start over or keep going?
I also started to crochet another hat. I just find them so relaxing to make while sitting on the couch. (Unfortunately, with this never ending morning sickness I sit on the couch a lot.) Catherine wants it to be her Christmas hat. I have some Christmas yarn somewhere, so maybe a nice red flower or something would make it festive enough to be called a Christmas Hat.
I found this lovely baby yarn in my stash. (I'm still unpacking my crafting supplies and finding all sorts of goodies!) I'm wondering if 450 yards would be enough to knit a shrug for Catherine. Do you know of any easy and pretty shrug patterns for a little girl? (She's roughly a 4T.)
(If she were still a baby I would try my hand at this adorable Seamless Yoked Sweater, which Heather of Mama's Notebooks pointed out to me!)
I will be sharing this post at the following:

All sorts of neat yarn here! My word - that homespun looks wonderful. How far along are you? If you're faster than me, I'd say pull it and start over. I'm still such a newbie knitter though that I have to consider how many (many! lol) hours it has taken me to get to a point and to get back to it. My mom crochets and just zooms along.
ReplyDeleteIf I spot a shrug pattern on Rav, I'll let you know! Happy unpacking - and thank you for visiting my blog and commenting! :)
Aw lovely projects :) I'd personally unravel the cowl, I think if it's bothering you and it's not going to block out then it's worth doing it again. Maybe put the cowl in time out for a bit first though lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat about doing a short sleeve version of the Spring Time in Hollis pattern but skipping the lattice section. Basically a simple raglan shrug but it knits up quickly and the pattern is a nice one to have in your library for when you've got some more yardage :)
Boo to morning sickness, hope it eases for you
Lovely work, and delightful colors. Feel better soon.
