Another Scarf down…. Two more to go!

Oct 16th, 2008 | By Gidget | Category: Projects, knitting

I got the baby’s scarf done! Yippee! The yarn is wool and wool/nylon mix from Ella, purchased at Ewe Knit. I love Ewe Knit - the name, the store, the owner, and all that gorgeous yarn!
The pattern is basketweave from Creative Kniiting’s fall edition. I’ll be making [...]



Fall and Woolen Scarves

Now that canning is over, I’ve picked up knitting again. Here’s a scarf and hat for my apple cheeked little boy!

I was in the middle of knitting the scarf when my December issue of Creative Knitting came in the mail. The scarf is just straight knitting with Wool Ease and some [...]

While looking for the golf club cozy pattern, I ran into this site. Thought ya’ll might like it too. If knitting doesn’t work out, I can always make bracelets from the needles.

Christmas Presents

Jul 18th, 2007 | By Gidget | Category: Free Patterns, knitting

Yes, being a slow knitter, I’ve started working on Christmas presents. My sister’s shapely tee is coming along at about 8″ of length on the front. I decided to frog the brown alpaca yarn and just make the white one. The alpaca was driving my allergies crazy, so I’ll save that [...]



Knit Camisoles

Jul 5th, 2007 | By Gidget | Category: Projects, knitting

I’ve cast on some new knit projects since 4th of July. There is something about the Fourth of July that makes me think of the impending holidays and the fall season.
These will be camisoles for my sister. One is a wool from The Hunger Site.com. Slobo bought me some of this [...]
