there was yarn....
and then some knitting....
and hopefully some progress ;op
This weekend, after not knitting all week long, I started on some baby booties for a co-worker and his wife (prediction: more baby knits to come)
Let me just say right here how I LUV my harmony needles. This is my first time knitting with them since I purchased the beauties last month (minus the cable needles, which does not count as knitting). And I definitely will be getting in the long 'backorder line' to get my full set!
During the Charlotte Purls knit group (we have a blog now!) I finally got motivated enough (read: after avoiding them for about a month) to sit down and focus long enough to cast-on for the Fetching fingerless mittens. Yes, you see some more red! This is so my last project in this color for a little while. These mitts are now coined "Brickhouse":
Meanwhile, as I was getting over Lizzie being in the naughty non-ribbon corner, an unexpected blogger 2 Sistah's Knit Together bestowed upon me this fab badge!
Now that is the real knitty gritty version of it! ;op
It was totally unexpected and from a reader I did not know about and is fond of my blog!
It is always a delight when I get comments or messages, but especially from those I have no idea read my blog! I just luv it! They are like little e-presents!
Thank you CiCi & CAJtalk for the Rockin' Grrl Blogger award.
Im gonna break down and buy the whole set of harmony needles, I KNOW IT! LOVE knitting with the sock size ones, but Must. Resist. (till after SAFF at least LOL)
I know, instant gratification in projects is always nice!
Your stuff looks good!
Anyway I like to do baby projects at any time. It's always nice to have an item just in case a friend is pregnant. I can't wait to see the final project!
i love the purple colored yarn that you're using. can't wait to see that worked up...
those fetching gloves will be gorgeous, go you!
love that grrrl blogger badge. now that's a real badge! congrats on that! :-D
