Towels

I can't believe its been so long since I BLOGED. I'll have to get caught up soon.

Here is what I worked on tonight. Trophy Towels for a dog show. The logo digitized by Tina at http://bellaluciadesigns.com.

Thanks Tina!

My version of a Taggie or Huggie

I have been wanting to make one of these for a while now... today I did. It is 12 in x 12 in not including the ribbon. I used pink satin for the back and a very soft blanket material for the front. I used my Futura for both the embroidery and the sewing.

Sock Worthy

I decided that my 10 month old grand daughter is totally worthy of hand knitted socks. I started these Saturday night and finished them tonight. I think I'm really going to like making socks.

Still OTN

Gusset finished!

OTN

A pair of ankle socks using Cascade Fixation... I love this stuff.

Sock Two Finished

Finally.... I'm finished.

And I almost matched the stripes. I knitted a wee bit tighter on the second sock. I'm happy with the results. My next pair will be anklets made with Fixation.

One down!!

First sock finished!

Second Week Homework!

Homework Finished. Tomorrow I learn the toe. I can tell that this sock is going to be too big. But no problems at all. I have already started the second sock. I had wanted to get as far as the heel with it before my class but, its not gonna happen. One good thing about my LYS is that I can go back anytime I have troubles and they will help... Good thing, I bet I will be needing them!

My little hat

I finished my hat with a three needle cast off. It suppose to be for an infant, but it looks like it would fit a 1 year old! I'll try it on my 8 month old grand daughter tomorrow!

Heel flaps, short rows and gussets...Oh My

OK, heel turned. I'm just finishing my decreases and then to the toe. Next week I learn to finish the toe... Then I just have to make another one!

On My Needles

I'm working on a hat, too. Its called "snowflake" but I don't think I will embroidery the snowflakes. Its just a simple little hat that ties in a bow on the top. I'll try to have it finished this weekend.

Homework Done!

I finished my sock homework. I did the ribbing for about 2 inches with a total length of 7 inches. I'm ready to start the heal! I can't wait for tomorrows class.

My First Sock

I started my sock! I had a great time in class at my LYS... well, not really a class. I was the only student! Just means I had all the attention. I am glad I taking this class. I'm going to learn the tricks. I'm using Regia 4 ply with size 2 needles.The color is Jacquard. Can't give you more information on the yarn cuz it's in German. I am a big lady so I cast on 60 and am doing the ribbing with k2, p1. For home work I sould have 6-7 inches done my next Friday. It's fun!

The picture shows what I did in class. Not much for two hours but the needles are small and the yarn is too! There is a learning curve!

I'm excited!

Friday Morning I take my sock class! Sounds funny if your not in the hand knitted sock world, but I am excited. I want to learn the basics so I can start to make the many beautiful socks I have seen on my "Hand Knitted Sock" group. I'll let you know how it goes :)

The Dogs

One of my hobbies, The Dogs. You'll be hearing more later, I'm sure.

<--- This is not my dog but I have one like it :)

First time offender

This is the start of a new journey. Wish me luck!
