What a Gift!

A Sweater from a Friend

All I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW. Here is a sweater made just for me from Claudia. It is soooo awesome. This sweater fits perfectly and I love it so much. I am so honored to have such a great friend and talented knitter, and Iwill cherish this gift and wear it and wear it and wear it!

Thanks Claudia. You are the best!


Lace it up!

Speaking of Claudia, I finished the lace shawl for her last week. Here are the pictures. I think it turned out pretty well. It definitely was one of the biggest projects I've done yet. She is worth every stitch too...

Here it is on the blocking board...er bed in this case.

That's all for now.

Breast Cancer Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

I enjoy knitting coffee sleeves for the major amounts of coffee I drink when I am out knitting in public or just enjoying my day.

Here is my latest creation:

These coffee sleeves are easy to make. I used duplicate stitch to put the ribbon on. I found that easier than trying to carry the yarn and fair isle it since it was done in the round.

This can also be worn as an arm band. It is great for coffee cups and saves paper too. I make them all the time and get creative with them. I have posted this free pattern if anyone wants to make one for themselves.

Here are a few other ones I have made in the past as well:

There are a couple of water bottle cozies that I felted up shown as well.

That's all for today kiddo's

KNIT ON!

PET CARE

Haven't posted for a while. I have been a little behind, but the doctor is still in and knitting new and exciting things everyday. Check out this one:

Took these pictures of my friend's dog who I knitted a little hooded sweater for. I think this dog should get an agent! He's a natural in front of a camera. I think the sweater is pretty hip on him too!

Well that is all for now. I will be posting much more soon, just have to get it all together and get it online!
Until then
KNIT ON......
