I started my blog with such good intentions. I treated it like a kind of New Year's resolution, planning to work on it daily. Well, weekly at the least. Okay, monthly, yes, I can do monthly. Maybe bi-monthly would work better? Quarterly? Yearly?
I have figured out that if I don't have an actual deadline, I just don't get around to it! Everything jumps the blog in my to-do-queue.
Especially knitting.
So today I will show you all the stuff I've made since I taught my daughter to knit this summer. Yes, I might have gotten slightly carried away. Most of my family got a scarf this year. A small sampling of the nicest ones:
|
The scarf that started it all!
|
|
My first infinity scarf & matching hat, made for my niece, modeled by my daughter. |
|
My only foray into sports-themed apparel! |
|
Another infinity scarf with matching hat |
|
This is my favourite infinity scarf, I almost kept it for myself! |
|
Hogwarts finery for my kids (Gryffindor & Ravenclaw) |
|
Learning how to knit cables, it turned into a gorgeous scarf! |
|
An experiment that may never get finished. Most of my earlier scarves took 1 to 3 days. THIS is 3 days worth of my invented pattern! It's the most labour-intensive thing I've ever done. |
|
Now I've graduated to creating sweaters. But considering the debacle that my first sweater was, it would take a blog of its own. So I'll leave something for next time. See you next week.
Or maybe next month. ;)
welcome back and great knitting projects!
