Well, I've finally jumped on the bandwagon (late as always). This will be my first posting so I thought I start with pictures of all the work in progress. It's quite embarassing, really, either I have serious Acute Casting-onitis or I'm suffering from Knitting ADD
here's the Clapotis that I'm knitting from Manos del Uraguay in #42 for my mother. I started with 3 skeins and now looks like I would need another one. You can't see the drop stitches yet but once it's blocked, I think it would look beautiful.
I'm hoping to make a fitted Turtle neck Sweater out of this one. It's "Babi" Kid Mohair bloucle that's been hand-dyed by Fleece Artist. This is my first time knitting with anything that's boucle and I'm not too happy about it. I thought this will be mindless knitting using only garter stitch but since the yarn is so, well, Loopy, it's taking all of my concentration to make sure I knit it in the right hole.
This was my first ever socks. I totally was walking on air the first time I turned the heel. I'm knitting this on Addi 12 inch but had to switch to dpn when turning the heel. Doesn't bother me since I Love Addi's.
This one is being crochet. I really like the easy pattern and self striping yarn by Trendsetter (tonalita) My mom is really good at crochet so I might just let her finish this one up for me.
Here's my favorite and the one that I'm currently workign on. It's "Grace" from Rowan Arabesque. I'm knitting the 2nd sleeves now and hoping to block and seam in the next couple of days. This one is costing me an arm and a leg to knit up.
This is a quick knit that I'm knitting fro Aliana and hopefully passing it down to Arison. It's a size 4 sweather that's knitted up in Lion's Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick. It just needs the sleeves knitted up.
Ok, I'm on the fence with this one. It's a toddler sweater knitted in the round with cheapest and ugliest Acrylic yarn that money can buy. I don't know if I should just give up or keep on knitting. I hate the color, hate the material and hate the needle.
This is a back of a Cardigan for Aliana that I'm knitting out of Alpaca/Wool blend yarn. Hopefully, she won't grow out of it by the time I'm finish with it.
Another acrylic poncho. It really only needs some more fringes. I just can't seem to bring myself to finish it. This project has been mocking me ever since.
This is a beautiful cardigan from Vogue Winter 2006/7. I started on bamboo but thinking about switching to Addis. It's knitted on Worsted Cabled Merino. The stiches is showing really nicely with this yarn.
My first ever sweater. It was knitted for Max in less than 3 weeks from alpaca/wool blend in soft Camel color. The neck is weird and twisted. I haven't had the energy or time to frog it and reknit.
A cable purse knitted from Lion's Brand thick and Quick. Probably only need about an hour of knitting time before it's done. Oh well, so much knitting, so little time.
I started this sweater during Christmas time from Bernat "Glacier". I know, I know, another acrylic. Maybe that's why it's not finished?
