WHAT'S ON THE NEEDLES





Here is what is on my needles right now. I am making this neck warmer for my daughter Katy. The first picture is the picture from the pattern. Then the next picture is of what I have knitted. I only have a few more rows until I am done. Then I have to do some crocheting on the edge which I don't know how to do which I suppose I will figure it out!!!!

1/2/2009-I updated this posting from so long ago because I wanted to add the pattern. So here it is:

Mass Ave. Knit Shop in Indianapolis



















When I was in Indianapolis I went to the Mass Ave. Knit Shop. There they gave me this really cool bag and then I bought 3 skeins of handcrafted kettle dyed wool so that I could make some men's hats for Christmas. The shop owner wrote down for me the best pattern to use for the yarn that I bought. So I was very happy about that. The fun furry yarn I bought is for a hooded scarf that I want to make for myself. I don't typically like anything to furry but I thought that this was nice. It was a fun little shop and I am way glad that I went.

Pam's Knitted Purse





The first picture you see is what the pattern's picture looks like and then the next one is the purse that I did. This purse was really a pain in the you know what. I am sorry Pam but I started this in June or July of this year and I just now got it done (after putting it down a few times) and it is the middle of November. It is knitted with Berroco Suede. Which is pretty cool stuff by the way.

MY FIRST FELTED PURSE




Here is the very first purse that I have ever felted. I bought this wool at a Fiber Festival in Corydon Indiana that I went to several weeks ago. The wool itself is a rug wool and was very itchy to work with but felted beautifully. The purse itself only took me about 1 week to knit. I bought the button from Baer Fabrics in Louisville, Kentucky. I am very pleased with the outcome. If anyone is interested in this pattern please let me know and I would be more than happy to share!!
