Oct. 31, 2007 - In Knitting World
Yesterday Wendy took some pictures of what she and I have been working on.
Here are the socks I'm making for my little brother, Nathanael. I'm going to run out of yarn and need to order some more.
The back of my cardigan. Don't you like the ruffle? Now it's just stocking stitch on and on and on. I see why people like to do sweaters with cables and such. But I'm enjoying it nonetheless.
Here is one of the fingerless gloves I made for my sister blocking. The other one is done and has already been blocked. I LOVE these. I forgot the ribbing on the edge by the fingers, but they are still pretty IMO. I plan to also make a pair for me and for my mom. I found this pattern online and would link to it, but I can't find it now.
And I'm going to share what Wendy has been working on, too.
A cardigan for her 5yo daughter. This is the lace edge that goes around the bottom. Pretty, huh?
And she's making 3 sweaters like this for her SIL's children. It's just beautiful!
Sometimes while I'm knitting I think about what I would like to knit. If only my hands would knit as quickly as my mind! LOL! Well, I'll be working on the cardigan for a few more weeks at least. I'm not sure how much time I'll have for knitting in WV, but I'd like to get some in most days at least. Anyway, I'm planning to make a pair of fingerless gloves for my mom and a pair for me. Here is a list of things I would like to knit sometime:
~matching sweaters for my little brother and nephew
~one of those pretty sweaters in Wendy's knitting book - one with more changing colors
~a shawl
~something lace (could be the shawl or something else)
~sweaters for my mom, my sister, and I - the ones I have a pattern for that are a pretty cable pattern
~mittens
~something for every child I know...and every adult I know
Anyway, I'm trying to keep it at 2 projects at a time. At least for now.

I started knitting socks this year too. Your tension looks fabulous. Keep it up.
