Knitting

Latest Encounters

 I work at a quilt shop, this is the window display.  It’s won the community window contest for the third year in a row!  (I don’t know if you can see it or not, but the pillows that are on the floor. . .I made those.  😉 )

This wall hanging is called Tuscan Vista.  I made it up as a store sample.  When I saw the pattern, I wasn’t too sure about how it was going to come out, but as it was closer and closer to becoming a FO (Finished Object), I think it didn’t turn out too bad.

I also frequently drop into the yarn shop across the street.  I think the money that I get from working at the quilt shop just ends up going right back into the yarn shop.  😉  Well, here’s some projects that I have been working on with my wages.

This is my mom’s scarf.  Nice and big, knit in 2×2 rib with size US15 candy cane needles.  It’s coming along so quick thanks to the yummy bulkyness.  I should have no problem getting this done in time for xmas!

And this is a sample of the slippers I’m knitting up for my grandpa.  They will be felted as soon as I get the other one put together.  I was hoping to have them done in time to ship to him for xmas, but I don’t think that is going to happen.  Maybe he’ll have a nice pair of slippers by new years.
