Virgin TUTAAT Sock Knitting

Tonight my DH is off on a winter night hike and I am cozy at home with a lovely pot of tea, my favorite movie "Amelie" keeping me company and my first attempt at the Magic Cast on for toe up two at a time sock knitting! I am confident and am looking forward to a new knitting experience. May the force be with me :)!

Progress and Age

I did manage to knit for many hours yesterday and did accomplish a good bit on the first front piece of David's sweater. I really like this yarn (Kathmandu DK) I have enough of the same yarn in blue to make another sweater. Maybe next year.

I'm pooped today. I'm actually going to lie down instead of knit for the next hour. I must be getting old!

No more Mitts!

OK, I just looked at my last several posts and there will be no more Mitts. My next small project will be a tea cozy from my new book Tea Cozies. I like have small quick knit projects going on during my big projects so that I have some variety and I don't get bored.

Pretty is as pretty does.

Aren't they pretty?

Another pair to add to the herd.....

I have finished my fourth pair of Garter Stitch Mitts. These are for my stepdaughter, Nydia. She loved the color, Brick Red in Swish Worsted from Knitpicks. It is very nice yarn. Now on to the sweater for my DH. Monday is a holiday for me and I hope to make great progress on one side of the front. I did complete the back and feel really good about the size and fabric of this sweater so far. I am using Kathmandu DK wool and it is very nice to work with. I will post pictures very soon.

Monster made!

I finished the green monster! Finished, finished, finished!

And the winner is...Me!

My decisions to have a pattern (outline on my instructions) and to save sewing up the first glove until I could match the second one to it's size was spot-on! Today I'm determined to finish the Green Monster....the Reader's Wrap I've been working on for 1 1/2 years. I want to be finished with it so that I can start other project with a clear conscience. I have about 85% completed, so if I sit still and knit all day I should be able to do it, no problem.
