I’m Back!

Well, I took a hiatus from posting but I have stayed busy with knitting!

Here is a sample of what I have been up to:

First, I finished my first pair of socks. My son was very happy!

I finished the back part of my Pinup Queen sweater but I havn’t done any more with it yet.

I am almost done with a tote bag using a pattern from Interweave Knits Summer 2006. It’s blocked at the moment and I will try to finish the knitting tomorrow. I need to do the bottom and join the handle at the top. Then make a liner for it. I may give this as a gift to someone.

I had started on a striped garter stitch scarf using Lion Brand Kool Wool but I think I’m going to scrap it. I started another scarf with the same yarn using Mistake Rib. I like it much better.

And finally, I started a pair of socks for myself. Using Knit Picks Simple Stripes and a Fan & Feather pattern.

I have several other projects waiting in the wings. Can’t wait to have more to post!
