Socks!

I love the look of just plain socks. I dont like alot of patterns on the leg. However I am looking into doing just that. I thought I needed to challenge myself a bit more. I used the 2 circular needle method and knit top down. I only knit one sock at a time! I used a number 1 size needle.The yarn is called dreamcatcher by Opal. I will be casting on for more socks soon. I plan on making my daugthers a pair each for Xmas as a surprise.

Baby Surprise Jacket

I have finished my first Baby Surprise Jacket (BSJ) by the great Elizabeth Zimmerman. I so enjoyed this knit and plan to cast on for another BSJ soon. I used a yarn called "Mexican Wave" that is 100% acrylic and a size 6 needle. It knitted up so well! This one was knitted for charity but I am planning to knit more for family and friends!

Bettna

I cant believe it has been a whole month since I have posted. Where does the time go. Anyway dear knitters I finished "Bettna" a few weeks ago. It really was a fast and enjoyable knit.I used Noro silk garden about 10 skeins and used a size 8 needle. I am now working on the Elizabeth Zimmerman's famous "Baby Surprise Jacket" lovingly know as the "BSJ" and at the same time I have started the "Clapotis" from Knitty. Just to name few! I have several other projects going as well which you will all see as I complete them. I tell ya, I dont know what I would do without knitting. It soothes my soul so much. I can completely shut out everybody with my knitting when I want to. I am in my own world of tranquility and peace. Nobody's issues or problems to deal with. I get so tired of it all sometimes. Im there for everyone it seems. Not enough reciprocation. Anyway here is Bettna!!!

"Bettna"

Here is my latest project. I am making it for the knitting cruise I am going on in Sept 08 to Quebec/Nova Scotia. It is a project by Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton . I took a picture of the book, the project as you can see is on the cover. I am making good progress and hope to be done very soon. Take a look!

Sandy Cardigan

I have finally finished the Sandy Cardigan from Big Girl Knits! I wore it to the stitch in at Amazing Threads and got rave reviews. I really did feel proud of myself.I used Noro silk garden for the striped panels and prairie silk by Brown Sheep. Size 8 needle. It was a pretty good job. Hope to get better and better with my knitting skills with each project. Here are few pictures of me modeling it!
