works in progress

Here's some pictures of what on the needles, or just off of them.

Here's the bag awaiting felting. Purple on top, which, after felting, I'll slice handle holes into the fabric, and navy on the bottom.


Here's the little cute scarflet that I'm beginning. Awesome little cables already!! I can't wait to wear this one! and even try other designs into other cute little scarflets.




Here's the bead in socks I was talking about. A picture of the pattern and a closeup of the beading before I enter the heal work.



And lastly the bright yarns of merino wool to make my and Becki's gloves from. Question to the viewers though... do you like the dimmer picture or the flashed picture better? I'm trying to determine which is best to continue putting on the web. I like the dim, but the brighter one shows the colors only a little better? Just don't know, really. Maybe Sarah has suggestions?


And last pics yet, are some photos I finally took from what I think may be the graffiti knitters' work! More about them later...

It's funny... here, I thought I'd be able to just chill out and knit. Well, apparently not only that!

I've been trying to catch up with all sorts of folks here from after the holidays and loads of traveling... well, my bosses already hired me back on! Tomorrow even. I only called them today! Wow wow, that's pretty awesome though, however slow they've even assured me tomorrow will be. I really am just glad to be working a bit. I can still knit when I'm home... which I fully intend to do!

For those of you whom haven't seen these, they are my first pair of socks, knitted one, then the other, with a nice long ribbed cuff for easy folding over. This pair was knitted in a mostly wool with poly blend yarn. Very easy to use. Superwash too, so, it's easier than just normal wool to take care of! Me love that!

I've just finished knitting a handbag that I'm planning to felt up. It's purple and blue. And I'm knitting a pair of blue socks at the same time with some cute beads in the simple lace pattern by the cuff. Almost done with the leg to be moving into the "daunting" heal portion next.

On the needles also as of today, will be a little neck scarf with ribbing and cable knitting. It'll just wrap around the neck and close with a button. Very very cute.

Also needing to be worked on are 3 pairs of fingerless gloves. One for me with a fun stitch pattern in the glove, a pair for my dad, and a pair for my so lovely and hard workin' soon to be sister in law, Becki with Super Hero red and blue. Lots to do, pics to come as they're completed. If you'd rather I try to get pics up of the process too, let me know... didn't know if that'd bore y'all. Gotta keep knitting!

Let me know if something strikes your interests. We can always talk in the comments, email, or phone to set up any requests you might have. I know there are some interested parties out there, don't hesitate to get on the list! Java sweaters are the hottest new thing! Aren't nearly as clumsy as cardboard, fits nice and snuggly around the cup and still comforts against the heat (or icy touch), and you get to save trees by not using all that cardboard! Many smiles, enjoy those warmers sibs. More to come... (I haven't forgotten the star Sarah, it'll be better than I could have done it while in the states, I've learned some tricks ;))
