on and off the needles

On the needles .... I just love this pattern - Forecast. It's looking great, although the yarn is beginning to push me over the edge. I purchased it in Philadelphia last October and I think something had attacked it in the yarn store. The thing keeps breaking ... I WANT TO SCREAM. But I shall overcome.

I using the forecast pattern as a starting block and then going off in my own directions as my mind tells me to. So lets see what I'll end up with.

Here's what it looks like at the moment...

And just off the needles .... Another Slouchy Copy Cat Hat. I just love this pattern. This is the brightest one I've knitted so far.

I need to find another hat pattern to cast on tonight.

God Bless and Keep Knitting.

the yarn devourer is completed

This creature devoured yarn like I've never seen before. It had me on on the edge of my sofa which had never happened to me before. This monster consumed 3.25 balls of Rowan Cocoon and 3.75 balls of Rowan Kid Classic. I finished with just 9cm of yarn to spare, knitting from your stash can be nail biting. But what a beauty!!!!!!!! I'm so looking forward to Autumn just to be able to wear this yarn devourer.

I've named her 'Ruffle Edged Scarf'. Would I make her again? Yep, but using slightly lighter weight yarns, as this baby weights a ton (well half a a kilo to be more exact). Imagine carrying that around your neck.

Well let me present to you the completed 'Ruffle Edged Scarf' formerly known as Morning Train Knock-Off Scarf by Megan Rogers.

i'm off the operating table

Hi ya.

I'm off the operating table and out of hospital. I'm at home now, being looked after by my mother and daughter. I can't tell you how bored I've been this last week.

I was a bit ambitious with what I wanted to achieve in hospital and only knitted half a beret, which had to be pulled out at a later date. I blame it all on the morphine. Boy, did it my head spin. On the day of the procedure I was self administering morphine into my system every 5mins and then slightly less on the following day. I HATE PAIN.

Anyway onwards with the recovery.

Since having being discharged, I've completed another slouchy copy cat hat. I just love this pattern, once I'm finished here I'm going to start another one.

Take a look at the pictures below and make up your own mind about the beret.

Started: 29th June 2008

Completed: 2nd July 2008

Pattern: The Slouchy Copy Cat Hat

Materials: Artesano Ltd 100% Alpaca DK

Colour: C743 Green with flecks of grey (yummy)

Needles: Knit Picks Interchangeable 3.5mm and 4.5mm circular needles

Modification: Started with 96st

I have to say this yarn is fantastic and this is my favourite version that I've knitted so far.

Speak to you soon.

my new wip

Hiya

I know I've been a bit quiet lately. Life here is very busy. Work, work and more work. I need sometime to play.

This was on my needles until yesterday, now I'm using my crochet hook on it. It's a scarf. I know we are almost in summer and I'm working on a scarf. Well the weather here is still lousy and so I'm preparing myself for winter.

I'm hoping it will be finished by the end of the week, but that will depend on my work load this week. I have a couple of hours until it's time for bed, so I'm off - need to get hooking with my crochet hook.

I will see you soon. God Bless

they speak for themselves

............. meet Gretel.

i've done it

I've done it. I've made my first sale on Etsy. The beautiful number below is on it's way to New Zealand. I wish I was travelling with it. Oh well, I can continue to dream.

I'll be back..............soon. See Ya.

done!

Some of my latest projects.




Hope you enjoyed them.

the power of transformation

We are so blessed. God has not only given us life, but also the creative ability to transform and to create. It's so awesome what we can do.

I turned this....................

elbow length fingerless gloves

They're still a work-in-progress.

I can't and won't take the credit for this pattern because it's not mine. But I will say THANK YOU to all of you knitters out there who from the kindness of your heart publish your creations for others like me to use. Thank You once again.

Once finished, I'll update you with pictures of the completed item and I'll give you the full rundown of what yarn and needles I used. I guess you already know the yarn that I'm using from the picture above. Yes, it's another Cascade 220 creation.

Keep watching this space, because I'll be posting some freebies soon.

May God continue to bless you with creativity.
