Georgian Wrap

The Olympics have started and I have been glued to the TV.  Those of you that know me are familiar with my Olympics addiction.   I watch it all - even the boring events.  So during my long hours of watching I have been busy with my latest creation - The Georgian Wrap!

I like the bold classic blue and the ripple pattern to its collar.  Yes, it is even reversible!  It measures 12" wide and 80" long.  Soft and warm.  Made of 100%wool.  I decided to use a stockinette stitch to make the ripple stand out.  I know you just have to have one too!   Well the pattern is coming.  I am making sure that there are NO ERRORS like my last debacle.  Enjoy!

My Every Way Wrap

Wow - It's been a while sine I last posted.   I have been busy though.  My latest project is the Every Way Wrap that was featured in Interweave Knits Magazine.   I was a bit leery of it since I heard that the cables required a great deal of thought and I have been in the mood for mindless projects.  However, I bought the yarn & began.

Just a joy to knit!   Never boring and just the right amount of concentration required.  I am about 50 % done and I thought I would share a few pictures of my progress.   Let me know what you think..

Another Day

Yet another day has passed with the blink of an eye.  I have been so busy making my ornaments for the coming Holiday season.  I can not wait to take some pictures of them all.  I am in love with the owls and the trees.   I can't believe how much I enjoyed making them!

Still working on my reversible cabled scarf .  It's turning out beautifully.  I am using the Malabrigo (my favorite) in blue.  OMG.. LOVE IT... Thank you Deb at What's Needling You for the pattern.  It is my first reversible cable anything.  I am surprised at how easy it has been.  I just spend a couple hours a night while watching the World Series.  I am not rushing through this one.  I am, for once, taking my time and really enjoying the process.

Knitting is just a passion for me.  When I picked up the sticks 3-4 years ago.  I NEVER thought that I would fall in love.  I thought maybe it would be just another hobby of mine  I would pull it out on occasion and knit up a scarf for myself.  Who knew the love affair that I started!!!  It has been my only constant craft I work on all year long and almost everyday and love every second of it!  Thanks to my Grandma & Aunt who inspired me to learn.
