Just a little hat

Some of you may have seen me working on this. It started out a scarf but turned into a hat. I like it its cute. Made from the lion brand incredible. It is a ribbon style. I did this in the round with 2x2 ribbing. I am working on a matching scarf as well. Quick and easy!

Aran is finally finished!!!!

Oh It is soooo close I hope they pick me ladies! This is the website I had talked about that is kind of a forum for knitters. If you have not already signed onto the waiting list I would do it now! While there check out the video. It shows all the neat features of the website including, a stash log, needle chart, working projects, finished projects and things you want to knit. I have been waiting 2 months and I am at 210! Hopefully they will pick me so I can get a little organized! Check it out https://www.ravelry.com/account/login

Getting there!

Updates from the Black Sheep!

OK, so I only have two hats done at the moment for ships project. I know I know shame on me. But at least they are pretty awesome hats!

I still can't believe I did a cabled hat for a total stranger!

Next on the fun exciting things! Check out this basket! This is by a company by the name of Lantern Moon http://lanternmoon.com/

Their knitting products are fantastic! This basket is the Lotus basket it was part of a set of two silk lined with the drawstring closure. This is the larger basket and there is another exactly like it only slightly smaller.

So...whats in the basket!?!?!?!?

The new Aran! Well not really a aran but at least a Irish sweater!

This is what has become of the wool from the aran sweater I was working on. I just started it last week and I am already about two inches from starting the armholes. It is going nice and quick as it is being worked on us 13 and with two strands at a time. As you can see I am also working the body on circular needles. Which is also helping it to go quicker. I am in love! And I think I will actually finish this one before I have the chance to fall out of love!

SEE EVERYONE SOON!

Sad news regarding Aran...

The love afair is over...

Truthfully I really wanted to use the wool that I brought back from Ireland for a sweater with more cables in it. The pattern I have been doing while pretty ony has the simple cabble patter going down the sides. and the rest a bramble stitch which is royal pain. So we have started anew. I am doing the first sweater I fell in love with when I started knitting. Pictures to come as I am alreaddy about 5"into it. It is going much quicker as I am working it in the round it is on 13 needles and with two strands of wool at once. I think the wool is happier in this pattern. I know I am! I will try and get pictures up over the weekend.

Helllllooo Helllooo Helllooooo Echo Echo Echo

Yeah...summer tends to kill the knitting buzz. And now it's Faire season! Yay! I hope everyone had a fantastic summer. Let's try and get back on track. For me personally my dancing is taking up so much time it is hard to squeeze in knitting time. So now more than ever I need that set calendar of you will definitely get knitting time on these days. So for now lets plan to get back on the second Wednesday and last Wednesday. I will send a email to everyone to see who wants to host. As always I have no problems with hosting. But don't want to hog all the fun :-). So...

MARK YOU CALENDARS!!!

September 12th
September 26th

If you got my e-mail with the update from the ships project you know that October is when they really start needing the warm knitted items. Lets really try to get a few things together to send off in October. I must confess the 10 hats didn't happen! I got two. But will push to have more done for October mailing. A e-mail is also coming regarding a Knit Wits at the faire. I think it would be a great idea to let people know what we are doing and possibly recruit new knitters.

Stay Tuned for more!
