I just haven't been knitting as much. I'm not sure why. It's much hotter in Texas than in North Carolina, I have lots of friends and lots of family to spend time with and we have been spending time with them, the house needed (well, needs) setting up...but I think the main reason is that we did not bring our TV with us. That's right, we are TV-less! That doesn't mean we don't watch any though, since hulu has almost every show I like, and most of the others are on the network website. This way I still watch shows I really like, but none of that mindless watching whatever is on happens. And I never get sucked into all those terrible medical shows (aka modern day traveling freak shows). Those shows are hypnotic and then afterwards I would feel guilty for watching them!
A side effect is less knitting time though. That's alright, I don't need as many knitted things here in Texas anyway. And it isn't like I've given it up altogether! I can't imagine that. Also, the yarn would really make me feel guilty then.
I made these socks (the pattern is Sam by Cookie A.) in trade for a beautiful woven scarf that inspired me to ask for a loom for my birthday!
I've finished two little sweaters, one for a new baby and one for a five year old, but both lack buttons, so pictures for those later. Several shawls and gifts...of course.
A lacy scarf for my sister-in-law...and I've seen her wearing it several times! Rav link here.
oops, this one is for me! a little dropped stitch scarf. Rav link here.
Adorable dresses for new baby girls! Rav links here and here.
A really sweet pattern named Clothilde. I doubt I'll ever wear it, but it came out just lovely. Rav'd here.
This is a long rectangular shawl, symmetrical (you start at the center and work out in both directions)...very beautiful and hopefully just perfect for the person who is going to get it as a gift. Rav'd here.
I have one more to show you ... but I think it will get it's own post! What have you been working on?
