leg warmers

I finished these leg warmers for Britt a few weeks ago...I finally took a picture of them while she was home for Thanksgiving. I'm almost finished with a purple pair for Kris. I also finished a gray cowl for Britt, but I forgot to take a picture of it before she left. I'm starting a cream colored one for Kris. They are constantly wanting me to knit them something...I told them "I'm not a knitting machine!"lol

another roll hat...

I finished this hat last night. I plan on starting a Thorpe hat sometime this weekend.

knit, knit, knit

I'm knitting squares using Spud & Chloe yarn...the squares knit up quickly with this worsted weight yarn. It's 55% superwash wool and 45% organic cotton and it feels amazing! I plan on knitting a baby or lap blanket. Check out this blog if your interested in the Spud and Chloe yarn. This is where I got my inspiration to knit these squares. The yarn is from Jimmy Beans Wool.

I've almost finished my sweater...I plan on starting on the sleeves tonight.

I finished this pair of socks yesterday. I call them my travel socks...I love to be the passenger in a car, so I can knit. DH always drives when we go someplace, so I knit. The good thing about knitting in the car is, I'm not gasping for air or covering my eyes...I'm to focused on my knitting and not DH's driving.

I cast on another pair of plain and simple socks.

I haven't been sketching much lately...too obsessed with knitting, but I did post a face on my flickr.

I'm still working on my mara shawl. I had planned on finishing it by today, but then I got distracted by another project. I decided to start knitting squares for a Barn-Raising Quilt, out of leftover sock yarn. I found the pattern in this book.

I started a flickr photostream a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to post pictures there once a day. The flickr badge is off to the right on my blog...just click "what is this?" and then aggiemomtoo

3rd times a charm?

I cast on this Hannah hat Monday night and have had to frog it 3 times...grrrr! Hopefully, last night was the last time. It's not like it's a hard pattern, I just don't know where my brain has been. I'm knitting this hat for Kris...maybe.

Yarn: renewed cashmere

needles: size 5 circular

off the needles

I started this pair of socks last January and finally finished them New Year's Eve...talk about procrastinating. We had such a HOT summer, that I rarely touch any of my knitting projects. I have 2 pairs of socks on the needles right now and a pair of fingerless mittens.

hump day...

I started this sweater Monday night after I finished knitting my fall socks (see pic below).  This is my first sweater to knit.  I'll be working on it at night while DH and I watch TV.  I knitted a few rows last night while watching Fringe...one of my favorite shows.  Whoever writes for this show definitely has a vivid imagination!  
On cold days like today, these socks keep my feet toasty.  
There are about 200 potted seeds in this light box that DH built this past weekend...some of the plants are already sprouting.  

random saturday

I made butter this morning...
 7x5 watercolor sketch...she looks like she has a sunburn. 
I finally finished knitting my shawl this week!  

random thursday...

I started this face painting a couple of months ago and have not had the time to get back in my art room to finish it...hopefully, next week. 
I've been making pots out of newspaper for seeds.
This is the view I saw out the window last night while making pots at the kitchen table...this photo doesn't do the sky justice...cobalt blue and alizarin crimson.
My little knitting buddy...Buckles likes to sit in the chair with me at night when I knit.
I have been working on this shawl since last March and it is a torn in my side!  Last night, I had to frog the past 2 nights worth of knitting because I dropped a stitch...it wasn't a purl or knit stitch...it was a k2tog (decrease), so I had to frog 2o rows...what a pain in the a@$!  I'm hoping to finish it by the end of the month.
