Knits

Hello and a happy Friday to all! I've been in a knitting mood lately,

as you most likely know already. I like being productive and I'm

always working on projects... life is too short to not be! 

Yesterday I knit one of the above tuck stitch samples. This morning

I have decided to make this into a little girls sweater, so I needed

another front/back piece as well as two sleeves. It will be a drop 

shoulder sweater eventually! I may do some crochet for the edging.

I'm just designing it as I go... 

Above are the 2 tuck stitch swatches. Shown from each side.

I like them both!

Above left is one sleeve which is in stockinette stitch.

I thought it made a nice contrast to the body of the sweater.

Now to sew it all together and finish it!

Lastnight I was in a hand knitting mood, so I pulled out a

few skeins and my huge needles since this is a very chunky

yarn and it looks great knit up with a big stitch. I'm doing 

a garter stitch on this one. It's soft and airy...light weight

textured yarn. I love it!  I watched a movie while knitting, 

a love story, it made me cry... I must stop watching those!

These scarves I made a couple days ago. They have been 

steamed and blocked... and folded!!! :) Oh, I see my son

peeking around there... he was a baby back then...now he's

12 years going on 28... he wishes... lol.

Enjoy your day and weekend!! :)
