On the Fence

I'm not sure if it is dorkier

that I just had to take a picture

of my knitting when I laid 

down my needles and saw

my initial...

or that I took the time to

finish writing my name

and post it.

Why the Ruche?

I never would have guessed

that I could knit faster

than I sew,

but here's the proof:

Baby Doll's sweater, knit in two months

and

Boy's quilt, in its 13th year of incompletion.

Pattern:  Ruched Yoke Tee from

Interweave Knits Spring 2011

Yarn:  Blue Sky Alpacas Skinny Cotton

Bandana Cowl

This is the

Bandana Cowl,

a free pattern

from Purl Soho.

Can NOT believe

how quickly this knit up

or how much I like it.

The yarn is

Madelinetosh, chunky

in Composition Book Grey.

LOVE the way it drapes!

Sweet Memories Cowl

This is the

Sweet Memories Cowl,

a free pattern

on

Embracing it all.

It's made from donated yarn

(probably acrylic)

which I could FEEL squeak

as I knitted,

BUT is actually VERY soft
and I really wish
I knew what brand it is
because I like the way it knitted up.

It's for my knitting group's charity sale.
