ON THE NEEDLES

A few things I am knitting...

Took some pictures this morning of a few things I have been working on recently:

Been putting off getting started on these mittens. Finally got the cuff done on one of them last night and it looks good, BUT it is way too small. These are a lot of work and not sure if I want to continue and have them not fit...looks like these may be frogged..urrgh..

This Yarn was my Christmas present from Nancy and my new roommie Claudia. It is really fun don't you think? I love the colorways...and I tried several swatches before I decided on this chevron pattern...I think it really shows off the colors nicely. Thanks for the awesome gift!
cablecable1
This yarn is so awesome...from Blue Moon...Icelandic. I finally made something I plan on keeping for myself..I did a variation on the reversible cable scarf from "Cables Untangled" by Melissa Leapman. Made it a little smaller and did a 4 stitch cable on size 11 needles. It is really nice and warm and just in time....It's going to be cold here in Georgia this week...YEAH...it is winter right!!!

So did you catch it....yup...I am Claudia's new roommate! Just got moved in last week. The Yarn Doctor and the German...some say the odd couple, I say Laverne and Shirley...hehe...

DAY 8-not smoking still. It's really pretty easy living out here with bavgirl. She is really supportive and it's quiet without the city all around me stressing me out, making me wanna smoke....so this feels like it's really gonna take this time. WOO HOO!

Back to school tomorrow. More to come...

KNIT ON....

Congrats on your non-smoking project. BTW, I just ordered 200 of those cord lock thingies for the bags, and if you want some, let me know.
