FO's, Yarn, & New projects

Finished Objects

I finished my fingerless mittens. I really like the way that they turned out. For some reason the second one turned out a little looser than the first one, but not enough to make me re-knit it. :)

These are two dishrags that I finished last week. They are out of Sugar n' Cream. I think I used most of one ball to knit them both.

I also finished the Basketweave Scarf from Interweave Knits. I got it from Knitting Daily, so I'm not sure which issue it was originally published in. It is for my boyfriend. He already took it, so I didn't get to take a picture. I'll have to snap one of him wearing it!

Works In Progress

I bought yarn on Monday from SWAK In the City. I was planning on making the Tangled Yoke Cardigan, but I think this yarn will do better if I make the Cinnabar Pullover from Interweave Knits Fall 2007. I cast on about 3 times, but I think I finally got it right this time.

I also started the Through The Keyhole Scarf from The Knitter's Bible Knitted Accessories. I have about half of the center part of the scarf done. It is going really quickly. I am knitting it with Patons SWS. I really like the way the yarn feels. It is really smooth and silky.

That's all for today. I'll try to get a picture of the Basketweave Scarf up soon.

Fingerless mittens are wonderful!

It took forever, but I finally got my Ravelry sidebar/progress bar to work. I didn't think I was ever going to get it to work. I got the code from another Ravelry user, because I couldn't get the one Casey did for me. I would rather the pictures take you to my Ravelry account, but flickr's ok. At least I got it to work!

I wanted to make a pair of fingerless mittens out of the Esperanza yarn I bought, but I couldn't find many patterns that use chunky yarn. I decided to design/create my own pattern. I feel pretty proud of it! It is simple, yet functional. This is just the first one. I will knit up the second one. I jotted down the pattern as I was making it up, so once I finish the pair I'll share it. I just need to come up with a cool name for them.

School started this week, so this will start to get busy. I already have my first reading assignment due Wednesday.
