Knitting wrap-up!

OK so here is what I have been doing this past month (besides planning the whole wedding thing and trying to buy a house)

1. Chenille washcloth for a mother's day present:


I wrapped it up real cute with a fancy lemongrass soap! Mom loved it :)



2. Cotton Baby Sweater


A cute summery cotton sweater for my little nephew :-) It still needs a button (toggle)!

3. Baby shower hat & booties - for friends of ours having a shower next weekend (what??? im done early??? no way!)





Not a bad little baby set, although the hat came out a leetle bigger than i'd hoped. Oh well, babies grow!!!!!

What I am working on now:

Well... I have some socks im knitting myself. Haven't touched those in a bit...

Otherwise...???

Time for a new project! lol

Misc stuff

I almost forgot to say that I finished the pair of blue fetching gloves for my coworker! Here is a pic of them almost done (sorry don't have a completed pic):

They turned out very nice... really really soft. I used a yarn called Sublime. It has some silk in it, which I think is why it's super luxurious, even more so than the Cashsoft DK. :-)

AND I finished that purple chenille scarf for Megan, and gave it to her just tonight - she loved it!!!!
A really quick knit, and easy! Just CO 10 sts on US15 needles and basically used the whole skein(no fringe). I don't know the brand of yarn, it was a gift from Jessica.

Oh, and I forgot to share, Cynthia invented the coolest thing ever: swatching at work! LOL... I had knit a swatch for my upcoming hourglass sweater, and she grabbed it, went into the bathroom, got it wet, and then at my desk we did this:


Pushpins! Genius, no? That's why she is the most smartest. :-) (the yarn is Knit One, Crochet Too's 'Parfait Solids')

OK well thats it for now, hope everyone has a good rest of their weekends.

Chenille-o-rama

So! Blogger finally made me switch over to the "new" blogger. It seems alright so far, I am just glad my percent bars code transferred over okay.

TGIF!

Lets see, what should I share first.... OK, how about this lovely skein of cotton chenille that cynthia sold me???

I wound it into a nice neat ball last night, in preparation for it's journey to become a washcloth (the pattern from Mason-Dixon Knitting).

And... finally going to knit up this purple chenille yarn that Jessica gave me a while back, it's going to be a simple scarf for my friend Megan! (P.S. knitting it on wooden needles that used to belong to my grandma!)

Also: I cooked a corned beef the other day. (Me? Cook???? wow!)

Mmmmmmmm delicious! with a big pot of cabbage too. :-D Always love a good Irish meal.

And I broke down and had to buy new jeans yesterday, since my fav pair got a hole in them... boo. Luckily I had a giftcard to kohls, and finally found a pair I liked after an hour or so of trying stuff on:

They arent too bad. I am just happy cuz they are long enough.

OK anyway, ... hope y'all have a good weekend.
