Knitting Update

I’ve been on a starting spree!  But I’m so excited that I’m enjoying knitting again and excited about many patterns!

Here’s some of the projects on my needles:
Pink Cabled Bag

My local knitting group is having a Knit-along (KAL) for a bag.  Everyone choose a different pattern and this was my choice!  Really enjoying it!

Here is a picture of the work in progress (WIP):

Hemlock Ring Blanket

A baby blanket.  There will be a new baby in our family soon and I’m thinking this will be for him. Since I took this picture yesterday this blank is already 3 times this size.  Need to take another photo.  The yarn is a machine washable cotton/acrylic which will be perfect for their hot summers.  I want to make another one of these for me – so far it’s a great project!

Seascape Stole

Another KAL for my local group…this time lace.  I’m thinking this will be for a certain female family member who always loves everything I knit.  It’s even in a colorway that she would love.  It was going quickly until I started the blanket yesterday.

Father Day Socks

I made socks for my stepmom last year and wanted to start my dad’s next.  The yarn I picked out for his socks did NOT work and I finally realized that these socks were perfect for him.  I think they will look awesome in his crocs or birks!  They will be here next week and I’ll make sure the length is right and start the heels.  Hope to have them done by Father’s Day…but we’ll see!

Sissy’s Summer Dress

This is a cotton yarn that is left over from a couple of other projects.  It will be a wonderful summer dress that I am hoping isn’t too big.  Boring stockinette so great project for tv show to which I want to pay attention!

Old Sweatshirt Sweater

Hmm… no picture in my flickr account.  It’s an oatmeal sweater – which is great – but not nearly as interesting as socks or lace so it sits….and sits…and sits.  But one of these days I’ll start that 2nd arm and I’ll be wearing it – maybe next fall!
