1 Year Anniversary
It's been one year since I started this blog and I am currently undertaking a momentous project (besides the projects on my needles. lol).
I am attempting to organize my stash!
You can view my progress on ravelry.com, I am under Sparrow015 if anyone is interested.
A goal for this year is taking more pictures of what I'm working on, instead of just words. I want the blog to be a bit more visual.
Cute Sheep Measuring Tape!
Knitting Progress
So.
I finished up the dishcloths around the end of Sept, the day just before my due date. lol I forgot to take a picture though. :(
I gave up on the baby alpaca hat for right now. I'll look at it again in a week or two.
But right now I am knitting a chevron baby blanket because my cousin is due in December and I wanted to gift something to my soon-to-be second cousin. I also just found out my other cousin is due in February. So I am going to be making baby blankets galore here. lol
The pattern I'm using is from here.
What to work on?
I can't decide if I want to work on my GAP-less cowl or the baby blanket I'm knitting up as a surprise gift for my cousin.
Decisions, decisions...
*headdesk*
CO 140 stitches with black baby alpaca onto 2.75mm wooden circular needles. Half way through row 2 when I realize it's twisted. *cries and starts frogging, taking off the stitch markers*
Commissioned - Dishcloths
I’ve been commissioned for 10 dishcloths from a co-worker…
My first commission! I am very excited. Said I would have them all done for her by the end of the month. I figure that gives me enough time to get them all done and leaves me some time to spare if I procrastinate or something happens.
Almost done my first dishcloth. \o/
Just curious to anyone who does commissions, what do you charge for dishcloths?
Sometimes this can be too painfully familiar!
Fifth Project - Simple Knit Hat
Hooray! I've finally finished this! A very belated Mother's Day gift for my Mom, I knitted this beauty up. I've included two pictures, the first showing the extended ribbed stitching and the second picture showing it folded up for extra warmth for her ears.
WHAT I USED
I used 4.5 mm circular metal needles, stitch markers and a grey 100% Acrylic yarn from Red Heart Soft yarn.
I used this pattern for the hat: Simple Knit Hat.
Grey Toque - Mother's Day Gift
So I was right, the grey toque I knitted for my Mom did eat her head and a third of her face. If you fold it in half, it makes two toques.
When a friend of mine looked it over, took out her measuring tape and did some calculations (math, why'd it have to be math?) she said I should've cast on 60 stitches instead of 88.
Whoops.
So I am attempting another grey toque, why grey you may ask. Because my Mom wants a grey toque. That's why.
The needles I'm using are a little smaller and the yarn is a little smaller as well. No more chunky yarn for toques for me. It was a pain in the hands doing the very last decrease and then threading the yarn through the stitches at the top.
No more!
Here I go again...~*hums Whitesnake*~
Crafty Sparrow Update
So it's been a while since I posted, wow, way back in March. Whoops!
I am happy to announce I finally finished that Loki Scarf, still have to block it, but when I do, I'll take pictures. \o/
I've been a little busy, personal wise so this blog has fallen to the side. Sorry about that. I'm hoping to post at least twice a week, keep this blog alive. :D
I also made another toque, same yellow and black colours I showed in a previous post, for a rugby friend who was battling cancer. Sent it to him back in March. He sadly passed away at the end of April, but I did get to see a picture of him wearing it and he told me he loved it a lot. It kept him very warm. When I met his wife at the end of May for a function to raise money in his name, she told me he barely took it off. RIP JJ.
Yesterday I headed out to Carberry, Manitoba for a Fibre Festival. The Blue Hills Festival. It was a lot of fun! I got a couple of hankes of pretty, pretty yarn. I'll post pictures later on and I also met some awesome ladies.
Right now, knitting wise I'm currently knitting a toque for my Mom. It's a belated Mother's Day gift. /o\ The yarn I'm using is really chunky and I think I cast on too many stitches. It's going to eat her head...
Do you #KnitInPublic?
Still a WIP - Loki Scarf
I am still slowly chugging away at this Loki Christmas scarf. 242 rows and 11 stripes to go! Whoo! O.o
I'm almost done, right?
It’ll block out
