World Wide Knit in Public Day!!!

Hi all,

Just wanted to let everyone know the Saturday June 13 is World Wide Knit in Public Day!!

Where are you going to knit???

Work in Progress!!

2015 will be the year of the finished projects.  I have been knitting a lot lately and am trying to finish some started projects.
I started these socks for  Christmas 2013 for my nephew and they are finally finished.

This is a project I started this weekend and I want it to be done for Wednesday when our knitting group meets.  This is a little raglan sleeve baby jacket with a hood for a little boy.

 I don't know why it is doing this but photo is right side up - it just turns sideways when I upload it.
I think you can get the idea - just turn your head sideways. The bit on the needles on the side are the sleeves I just started. I will post a photo of the finished jacket before I take it to the knitting shop on Wednesday.

When this is done I can go on and start to finish another project that has already been started -probably the lace shawl that I started last summer.  I would post a photo of my progress but it just looks like a large hat when it is on the round needles. 

Design wall monday - summer projects

The last 6 months have been rather crazy with school (yes I decided to take another course at Algoma), National engineering week, our guild Quilt show, exams, easter,  a funeral and a graduation.
So to relax I thought I would get involved in a Knit-a-long(KAL) at our local wool shop.  It is a lace shawl and it is quite a challenge. It has been ripped out a couple of times and then I changed yarns - this was supposed to be relaxing!!!!!!  And then in my ultimate wisdom decided to knit a lace tank at the same time.
I must be crazy!!!
The lace shawl is coming along quite nicely now that I have got into the rythum of the lace pattern.  It is knit from the centre and is circular.  I am a bit farther along than this photo and onto round needles so it kind of looks like a hat right now.  The bottom photo is the tank.  I decided to knit it in the round so there would be no side seams.  I had a little trouble with the pattern but I am on track with this one as well. 
Oh well it keeps me off the streets!

have a nice day

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Monday Madness!!

This little beading project a custom beaded applique for a Christmas stocking that I have on my Etsy site.
Hopefully it will be done today along with all the other things that need to be done.
The weather has been bad for a couple of days and  today it is windy and snowing so it is a good day to stay in and get some sewing done!!

Have a great day!!
