I haven’t knitted too much since I finished the Entrelac Baby Blanket. I had let everything else fall to the side for this blanket including enormous amounts of housework. But slowly I’m getting back to my cleaning and knitting groove. First I started knitting this cowl/infinity scarf. I love the simplicity of this 4 row repeat pattern; knit 3 rows, …

I created a small snowman the other day. The hat is a tad small but that’s an easy fix. I still have to embroider the eyes, mouth and buttons on his stomach. He’s only about 3.5″ tall but isn’t he cute? I chose a different pattern for the pink baby blanket (I’d rather use the pattern with a nice white …

I’ve been working on some knitted ornaments for the last week or so. Mostly mini stocking ornaments, but a few days ago I tried knitting a snowflake. Working with (and attempting to knit with) 5 stitches on 3 needles feels almost impossible. After many slipped needles (and cursing) I finished it. Only to find I had missed a stitch somewhere …

It’s a short one today folks. I’ve been working on these mittens. It was more of a spur of the moment idea that I wanted to finish for a birthday. I don’t think it will be possible since it’s tomorrow. Do all knitters underestimate the time it’ll take to knit, well, everything??? I’m also trying to finish this bear before …

The blue blanket is coming along nicely and more quickly than expected (too bad it’s not photographing well)…. The hat that I had started last week, well I did change my mind. I wanted a cowl much more than a hat. I’m not quite sure how much yarn I’ll need so I’m knitting it on straight needles then I’ll seam …

I’ve completed a few projects in the last few weeks that I haven’t posted, oopsies. First was the completed (finally!!!) Purple Baby Blanket… then there was Edgar the Elephant….. And then there were a few Christmas Ornaments…. The stocking is a little bit too big, especially in the toe area so I’ll be making it even tinier. I’ll be using …

I’m finally getting the hang of using DPNs, so all of today’s WIPs were started (and finished soon) using DPNs. The basic baby hat has a simple K1, P1 ribbing followed by a stockinette stitch all the way to the crown. I’ve been testing out a few different patterns for baby mitts. The first is a seed stitch border with …
WIP Wednesdays ( a day late)
I completely spaced and thought (almost all day) that yesterday was Tuesday. I hate those days, where you go on believing you have so much time left in your week and BOOM you don’t. But hey, what can you do? Now for my WIPs. I started knitting this Panda leg at the cottage. I think it’s a little small to …

It’s a girl! My husbands cousin gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Aria, on Monday morning. And although she is only 2 days old, she’s already being spoiled by grandparents, aunts and uncles and handfuls of cousins. Congrats to the new Mom and Dad! Now onto my current knitting projects. The purple baby blanket is progressing slowly, more slowly …

Another Wednesday, another set of works in progress. Not many new items this week, actually no new items this week. I’ve been working on the same projects for the last two weeks. I’ve been finally getting back to my routine so by next week I should be working on some new projects. Until then here’s my progress. Happy Knitting, Ashley …
