Knitty Gritty

Just because Spring is here, doesn't mean the yarn and needles go away. I plan to keep knitting and crocheting all Summer long, making little light weight cotton things and some dolls and bears, and making warm woolen things for the cold months to come

(and we all know they will be back all too soon!) We've been putting the Winter hats away and i've been busy knitting up some all cotton, light weight hats for the little ones out there. Gotta keep those little heads covered from the sun!

I took a "finishing" class with my knitting teacher Linda last week, and since she sat me down and taught me the invisible seam technique, i am feeling much better about my seams!

These little booties are so simple and are going on the shelf at The Paper Sparrow.

And these scarflettes are being packed away for next Fall and Winter.

Here's an update on the lace shawl i started...It's coming along, slowly but surely! I've REALLY got to pay attention to this pattern or i will make a big mistake so i only work on this when i can without being distracted or disturbed. I really do like working with lace tho...

Here's a close up of that pattern ...

And i started this lace scarf, done in a very fine metallic rayon yarn. The pattern is less complicated than the cotton shawl, and good practice for me.

It reminds me of honey comb when you see it up close... I hope someday soon to have a few pieces i can be proud of, all done in lace ...
