One Year Later
It's been slightly over a year since I taught myself to knit (at the instigation of the jewelry ladies). In that time, I've completed:
Plus, there's a bunch of stuff in "time out" as well as some experiments that may or may not turn into something.
Started in the fall, not really touched since December?
Baby afghan 4
Started in the late summer/fall and not really touched since November?
Color block sweater
I got one side done and then started the second, then put it aside. Chunky yarn, so it's definitely not a summer sweater, so we'll see when I get it done.
Black/gray/pink
(Sorry about the blurry picture.) I thought I might make a scarf like this - I had a whole pattern worked out for switching through the colors in a great sequence - but the large amount of slip stitches makes it rather heavy/stiff, so I might need to try again on a lighter yarn.
Tweedy
I liked this pattern in my stitches book, but it didn't turn out as well with this yarn/needle size/colors combination. I'll probably frog this one at some point.
Felted diamonds
I have an idea to make a nice felted purse with this pattern (adapting one of the purses in the Pursenalities book). I haven't decided how I want to do the ends yet, though, since in the book she switches from knit to purl to help build a sharp corner, and I can't do that with a slip stich mosaic pattern.
I also have another scarf started, using one of the lovely handspun yarns in a traveling rib pattern, but I can't decide if that's the best use of the yarn (no pics yet, sorry). And I have an experiment in mosaic that I'm not showing because, if it works out well, it'll be a gift for someone.
Finally, I will finish knitting (and hopefully felt) my sheep tonight, and I'm happily working on my first glove. So I guess I'm doing ok. :D
*Ok, so it's not quite done, but I just need to sew the sleeve seams, add the buttons and then block it one more time.
- Two baby afghans
- Six scarves
- One wrap
- One felted purse
- One felted hat
- One baby hoodie*
