Another

I made another blueberry hat. Came out very cute. Think I will talk Don into going to White River Yarns Friday night to get some yarn for another hat. Stay tuned to see what I pick out.

Finishing jobs

I finished my blue socks! They came out great. I will enjoy wearing them this winter. I decided to make another blueberry hat. Beth sold the first one at the farmer's market. What will I knit next?? I think I will finish the green socks I was knitting 2-at-a-time. I need to make one of each color so I can have a pair.

Blueberry

This hat is too cute. I bought the Ann Norling Kid's Fruit Cap pattern thinking I would give it to Beth. But as I read the directions I realised I would enjoy making it and I would learn the yarn carrying technique. I used Reynolds Saucy 100% mercerized cotton from Whippletree in Woodstock.

Almost done

Yep---these are the socks. They came out so cute. Now I have to do it all over again so I can have a pair (acutally 2 pair) of childrens socks the same color. But I have put it on the back-burner because I started knitting a baby hat. Ann Norling does those cute fruit hats, so I decided to give it a try. I am looking forward to adding the leaves at the top because you carry the yarn. Wow--never done that, but how hard can it be!

2 at a time socks

I bought the book "2-at-a-time socks" by Melissa Morgan-Oakes quite a while ago. I wanted to finish up a few projects before I gave it a try. Sweater is almost done, blue wool socks almost done, shape-it scarf! almost done, time to start. I went to White River Yarns in White River Junction and got my needles and two skeins of yarn and I was ready to start. Yikes! I tried and tried but I could not get it. I did some web seaching on "magic loop knitting" and found quite a bit (this site was very helpful). Looked at videos, read directions, looked at pictures, practiced and practiced. Suddenly it all made sense. Look! I am doing it!! I am knitting two socks at the same time on one 40" circular needle.

Tea Party

We all had fun at the tea party baby shower. Taylor did an impeccable job. Every detail was perfect! except for the shortbread, or should I say lack of shortbread. We left the tin at home in the freezer! Oh well---everything else was perfect.

Apple baby socks

Socks needed for the baby shower on Sunday. What could be more perfect than apple red ones when your mommy is a member of the Apple Gang. I will need two pairs, one for each baby. They knit up so quickly and come out so cute. I love making them.
