GRACIE'S SCARF


I finished Gracie's scarf, and she is SO proud! She wore it at school the whole day after I gave it to her. I asked her if she wasn't a bit too hot with it on inside, and she replied "Yes, but I just knew it was so full of Mom-love that I had to wear it! Awwwww....I love me some Gracie. and Daddy.

CHICKENS

I came across these chickens while perusing http://nevernotknitting.blogspot.com/. She knits the most wonderful things! This is obviously a bit beyond my level at the moment, (given that my "level" is "scarf", since all I really have to do is just knit in a straight line and I pretty much refuse to deviate from this whatsoever) but I SO love these chickens!

KNIT KNACKS

Yes, dear friends, I have finally completed my first knitting project! The olive green scarf is done, and I'm relatively happy with it. Only one dropped stitch, other than that no mistakes.and here's my favorite little model with another view....
It went fairly quick since I used larger needles to give it a more "lacy" effect. Now, I have moved on to a rainbow scarf for Gracie. She and I picked out the yarn together, and its sooooo soft and lovely. See?
and here's some yarn that I picked out just in time for fall. I love the pinks, yellows and oranges!The girls in my knitting club are taking a hat class soon. Gracie's scarf would be soooo cute with a matching hat, dontcha think? So many hobbies, so little time....

I am very close to completing my very first knitting project! I have started many projects and tore them out because I wasn't happy with the mistakes. My current project is not perfect, and does have plenty of mistakes character. I've been especially motivated to finish it because one of the girls in our knitting club has found some fabulous, fabulous yarn that I want to get my hands on for a scarf for Gracie. Did I mention? It.is.fabulous. However, I will not allow myself to buy it until I finish something. finally.

When my project is complete, I will share it with all of you. Until then, I'll keep on knitting...knitting...knitting.
