babies babies everywhere

Hello Hello and Happy New Year!

I am currently making some baby things for my co-worker and then moving on to my two sister-in-laws who are due in March and then in July. I also have a slew of friends pregnant from college so when I finish with family there are plenty of babies to knit for.

I will also be moving soon to Asheville, North Carolina. I have always loved visiting Asheville--it is the perfect combination of artsy and down to earth. The mountains are amazing and the people are funky. I hope we will be there for a long time. If I can't find a yarn shop that suits my needs I guess I will just have to open one up! That's all for now.

Happy Knitting

christmas knitting is coming along!

i have been knitting a lot! the best part is i have a lot of FO's to show off after the holidays! these are the latest little knitting--many more to make but these are the christmas Korknisse that i'm making at the moment. happy knitting

Lettuce for Janice

love this yarn, love this pattern--so far organized Christmas knitting is going well. since i know my mom doesn't even know about this blog it's okay to post this one!

recently, i have been attempting to switch over to continental knitting and this project is my first TOTALLY continental project since i first learned to knit. I (like EZ) learned to knit continental but was then lead astray and began solely using English style knitting. i have finally conquered the continental purl and feel very confident knitting. hopefully this will mean faster knitting and greater efficiency= less pain in my hands!

happy knitting!

Tae's Entrelac

I hope this scarf lasts my friend a long time and that he enjoys wearing it! Feels good to finish things--which is something I NEVER do.

IT'S A BOY!

i would much rather use some type of natural fiber but i really want to make this cheaply and very user friendly. this will be gifted to a non-knitter! any yarn suggestions?

texture for tae

i'm beginning the task of knitting a scarf for my co-worker. guys are harder to knit for in my opinion. i settled on entrelac for now. he wanted some texture and i like the woven look of entrelac. i also want to finish this scarf relatively soon-- and entrelac is just so enjoyable!

i just learned how to knit backwards through this video! if you hate purling like me check it out.

i am almost finished my sweater and i will take pictures of it when i'm finished. i can't wait to wear it at the new york sheep and wool festival in rhinebeck , ny! is anyone else going as well?

^ love this ornament! cannot wait to make something similar

so i'm thinking moccasin socks for my brother, maybe noble cowl for mom (i like this color), i won't say what i want to make for my sister--in case she reads this blog, not sure that my dad would want anything hand knit. we shall see how many things actually get made hopefully they all will get SOMETHING handmade : )

what are you making for Christmas this year? are you already thinking about it?
