Danika's Blanket & Sweater

I knitted a Pink & White cabled blanket for Danika. I adapted a pattern from the Irish Cable Scarf pattern. I made it much wider for a baby blanket. I think it turned out really beautiful. It was my first time at knitting with cables in the pattern. Once that was finished, I had decided to start a sweater to fit a one year old... it should fit her when the weather starts to get colder this winter. I am so excited that I finally finished this project and have sent it off to her, it only took me 3 months from start to finish.

:-D

February Baby Sweater

Here is the begining of my very first baby sweater project. I am almost to the arms holes in this picture. I started this project last night, February 4, 2009. You can find the pattern on Lionbrand.com @ http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/60699AD.html?noImages=

The yarn I am using is: Red Heart Collage color: 2940 "Wood Trail"
it is very soft and light. I simply love this color!!! Will post finished picture when completed. K~

February Magic Socks

I started this sock on Sunday, February 1 st, 2009. What makes this sock different is the purple that I used in the heel & toe is a glow in the dark yarn. So after the lights go off, it glows. That is why I call it the "Magic Sock".

I will post the second sock when I finish this project.

New Moto Sock

Happily I completed both socks just in time for the Sunday Motorcycle Ride! Whoahooooo! These babies are big ones measuring a whopping 21" from cuff to bottom of the heel, and 27" from cuff to toes!!! This will complete my January 2009 projects. Whew!! :-)

Okay, so here it is... Right sock on!

I worked on my husbands "Moto" sock on Tuesday night with the girls. I am putting the picture of it on his foot for you all to see. LOL, this sock was so long nobody thought it could be wearable. Here is the proof :-D

After I came home last night, I kept working on it until it was finished, about 1 a.m. or so?? My husband came home and was able to try on the finished first sock... It FITS! :-D

He was so happy! Now, I have to get the second one done before he goes riding again... which might be this weekend...yikessssss!

See ya later ...K~

Boot Socks for Anthony...

Here are some boot socks that I made in December for my son's friend Anthony ..."Socks" is his nickname.

These were so much fun to make, I used a size 7 needle,, (which tends to make the project go much faster) with a C/O of 40 stitches. These are so very comfortable, and the material that I used was Wool Ease worsted weight "115 Blue Mist" was the color. It is a very nice color, and will compliment a pair of jeans nicely. They are for a size 12 foot.

I am adding them to my January projects list because I haven't seen Anthony yet, and I really like them and thought I should share them with you.

January Projects

First project completed for the year. I used Woolies worsted weight yarn. 40 stitches cast on with a twist stitch pattern. I used two size 7 circular needles for this project.

These are a gift for a dear friend who lives in Idaho and my hopes are that they keep her feet nice and warm ;-D
