LONG Knitting update
Yeah, so it's been a while. I know! I got your emails and I hear you! :0) So here are some updates. First a picture of my grandmother's stole, I can show you now that she has seen it and worn it! I took this picture right before I bound off and before blocking, but you get the idea.
I finished another pair of socks too. These are also Regia Crazy color and I love them just as much as the first pair. These were also my first toe up socks and my first short row heel.
So it also seems like everyone I know is pregnant. There are 8 babies at work alone! Seriously! I refuse to drink the water there. So for the first baby, I knit a pair of booties and the most adorable baby beret. But, alas, I once again forgot to take a picture of the hat and second sock. Here is the first sock after it was finished. Sorry the flash was a little much in the picture.
Now for some works in progress. I only have a few right now. I'm making a baby sweater for another friend at work who is a MAJOR LSU fan, so of course it's purple and gold. No picture to share of it yet. I've completed the body and started one of the sleeves. It's a bottom up raglan. I think next time I make a sweater I'd rather do it top down though. I also finished one sock of a pair of worsted weight fuzzy socks. It may be a while before I make the second sock, I hated knitting it. Here's a picture:
I've also started the cutest little hat for Savannah and a rug for my laundry room. I should finish the rug today or tomorrow maybe.
That's about it for now. I'm on a mission to knit from my stash only for as long as I can. I need to reduce the size of my stash and basically not spend any money on yarn until I do. But with all the yarn that my husband bought me for Christmas, that won't be hard to do! Y'all I SCORED!
