Yay! It's Here!!

All the yarn is here is make three pairs of fingerless gloves, and a pair of mittens for DD1 for Eid!! The yarn for the gloves is 70% alpaca, 20% silk, and 10% cashmere...Luxury!! The yarn for the mittens (pictured on the cover of the pattern book) is super soft, which makes me glad I ordered an extra ball of the main color, in hopes I can get another pair out of this yarn. I'm so excited to get started!!

I want...

I want to buy yarn. This yarn, specifically:

It has glitter!!!



.... That is all...

Quick knit

There is something utterly satisfying about starting and finishing a knitted item in one day.

Dh and my older daughter LOVE Lord of the Rings and they wanted to watch one of the movies yesterday... The extended version. I was going to wait until I finished the book Green Deen before starting a new knitting project, but reading with a movie playing doesn't work, so out came the needles. Not too bad for a one day knit, huh?

Knitting!

I have found the love for knitting! I never knew I would enjoy the craft so much, and even thoough it makes me feel old, I don't want to put it down! I'm almost done with a child size sweater now, which is my 4th project - ever! I started with the scarf, then the hat... pretty typical stuff. I then tried my hand at making a cup cozy, which I gave to a friend, and now the sweater (which will also go to a friend).

I have my next three projects queued also! Two more cup cozys and a headband. I figure they are small things to try new techniques like cabling and lace. I'm excited! I'm making myself take a break from knitting though after this sweater so I can read Green Deen, a book I checked out from the library.
