The Pictures I Promised

Here is the blanket for Baby Matney, Knit on 13's with Lionbrand in blue and grey.



Here's my test fish, this one is about 10 inches long, but I bought Lionbrand Microspun today and plan on making them on different sized needles to give me different sizes.

And more projects....

I'm still working on the pink and green scarf, but my hands became incredibly tired of the 6s so I started making some other things and I swear the list keeps growing. I started a small blanket for Baby Matney as well as some knitted fish to decorate his present at the baby shower. Though I don't really know what could be done with them afterwards, they're easy to make and will look cute hanging from a basket handle or some other present wrapping.

I'm in the process of making a lapghan for my grandma, though it's getting warmer out, she's in a nursing home now, so she has to sit in her wheel chair and sit in line for dinner and what not, so I thought that might be a nice little blanket to keep with her. I just need to find a yarn that won't be so hot, and a stitch that will be aesthetically pleasing enough for her to realize that it's not just a scrap of fabric.

I don't have any FO's at the moment other than my one test fish, but will get some pics up of the wips when the camera's batteries are recharged.

Past and Present

While bored, I made this drop stitch and garter scarf. Made on 19s with the same yarn as the slippers except green. I like the way it curls so I have no plans to block it.





One of my current projects is a chevron scarf. I found a few chevron stitches that were completely wrong (either people can't count or have no idea what a chevron is) but I found one in a stitch handbook I purchased at Half Price Books.

It's made from the slipper yarn in pink and green.



and I started the bottom and cut off one row of purling to create a chevron ridge. It added a bit of texture and has stopped it from curling. Next thing to figure out is if I want to do the other end the same way and just deal with the overlapping yarn line.



I think this is my favorite scarf and I'd love to make a blanket out of these two, but I don't think I could stomach doing it on 6s. I'd probably have to go up to 8s at least.
