Easter Monster

Completed Easter Monster for Alex!!!!

Sock on circular needls

This is my second sock class project. Knitting socks on circular needles, opal self striping yarn. I need to knit up to my heel my Tuesday night (I'm not that fast and I still have a few inches to go). This is the progress I have made after ripping out once - I increased too many before knitting and the sock was going to be way too big.

Originally I was suppose to knit two socks at once but no one else in the class was doing it and this is only my second sock so I chickened out -- maybe my next sock. I was thinking I would try it with a pair of socks for my son.

This was my first figure eight cast with 12 loops. It does fit but my next pair I might try more loops so that it looks more rounded.

My very first felted project. It took a lot more washes and the blue didn't felt as well as the white and red. I have a pocket book that is almost finished and needs to be felted so I thought I would start with something small to get over the thought of washing all that knitting and not ruining it.

Bramble Stitch Lacy Shawl made out of Bernat Bamboo first finished project of 2008!

Off to a great start! Knitting yes! Blog no!

Okay so I thought I would use this more and as you can see I haven't. I intended at a minimum to send the blog to my sister. Hi Ginny so she could see what I'm up to but as you can see I have posted nothing and have sent the link to no one...nice start.

I have actually finished a few items even though I haven't posted them. I finished a scarf, not sure who I'm going to give it too I just wanted to try the yarn and the stitch. My husband wanted a hat so I started and finished that in February. I'm taking a sock class and also working on a monster for my son, another hat for my husband and I have about a dozen items at various stages on the needles.

I have also participated in two swaps, a kitchen cozy swap and a new projects swap. Next month I'm participating a a kitty swap as well.
