I've been busy working on a pair of fingerless gloves. I made them out of extra sock yarn that I had laying around from when I first started knitting. I've come a long way on my yarn buying skills. Though I still make mistakes and tend to over think the buying process. I also challenged myself with the picot edging. Thank goodness for Youtube! I am SUCH a visual gal I couldn't make any sense out of the written directions! YEA for videos! I like how they turned out, even worn them a couple of times! That's saying a lot for me. My sister, says that she is a process knitter, one who knits and then gives away..... I wonder if I am the same way? I have very few items that I have knitted, two pair of socks...maybe. The rest were given away for gifts. Hmmmmmm, apple..tree... ring a ding ding.
The pattern is: Lace Gloves , (ref=sib_dp_pt ) One Sock Wonders
One thing that I have learned is that there is a HUGE difference in sock yarn. Texture, nylon, fiber! Live and Learn! I'm still learning, I don't think that EVER ends, nor do I want it to!
I didn't get too much done this week around the house. I was at my daughter's school everyday. WOW! Then on Friday my little one was down with the flu. Between taking care of her and other household duties I did manage to go through my stash of yarn and widdle down the 'extras' but still find it hard to take it to Goodwill!? I keep thinking... I should hold onto that...... hmmmm
I did manage to start and ALMOST finish a Christmas gift. I can't put it up yet. I feel proud of myself because I DID use yarn from my 'stash'. I still have more things to make!!
Finished hats for husband!
Happy Day to you and yours!
love the striped hat!
