Hats!

2011 has already brought two fresh FO’s. The charcoal coloured hat is for my friend Bryan and the purple and charcoal one is for someone else. I am currently knitting a 3rd hat, its for Lily. She doesn’t like the wool one I knit her before, because it makes her itchy so I dug out some acrylic and am making her one from it.

Michael has been home sick for two days. Hopefully he is feeling better soon. I’m keeping my fingers, toes and immune system crossed I don’t get it.

Happy knitting!

A Hat and A Test

Yesterday I downloaded the wordpress app for my Blackberry in hopes it will encourage me to blog more about my knitting. I have often been taking pictures of my knitting with the crappy little camera on my BB, so I thought it would be easier to blog this way.

I also have a new blog (have I mentioned this before?) and have been focusing my blogging creativity there. Now I can do both easily and on the go! http://samantharogers.wordpress.com is my new blog …

Finally a hat! Its for my friend Bryan. Today is his birthday and I promised him a hat. Its not done yet. Guess what I’m going to be doing for the next two hours … Ha ha. I have posted a picture from my blackberry but have no clue where it has put it in this post.

Have a great day!

2011

Happy New Year everyone!

I haven’t counted all my FOs from 2010, but there are quite a few.  Mostly small ones … which comes as no surprise because I don’t tend to knit big things.  Maybe 2011 will be the year I knit myself a sweater (and not just a shrug or bolero).

Wine Garb, ducky style. I made a snowman one too (complete with knitted sticking out carrot nose) but I can’t find a picture.

Catnip mice for my cats and my sister’s cats.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a fun time ringing in the new year. :)

Time Flies

Boy does it ever!  Hello?  2010?  Where’d you go?

I have been knitting a few things for the holiday season for different people. Next year I plan on doing some knitting decorations for the house. The store bought stuff is lovely, but I want stuff my kids will give to their kids and grandkids and say “your (great) grandmother made those!”  Speaking of holiday knitting. Here’s a great list of 50 Free Knitting and Crochet Patterns. :)

I don’t have any pictures to share.  I have tonnes of stuff, but my camera is on the fritz and by the time I think about it it’s to dark for my Blackberry camera.

In other news – I have a new blog.  It’s about everything, nothing … things that pop into my head.  I don’t want to use this blog for that kind of chatter … it’s just different.  Anyway, if you’re interested CLICK HERE and you can see it.  :)

And a pair of socks. Well, I haven’t knit the entire pair yet, but I’m about 3/4 of the way finished the first sock. They’re for me. I’m too slow a sock knitter to knit them for other people. No pictures yet! Soon!!

Have a great one!
