I made another prop for my sister's photo studio. A pea pod! I hope you like

I haven't posted here in a loooooooong time but I had to share this project I just finished. My sister requested hats from me that she can use in her photo studio and this is one I came up with. Comments welcome!

*scratches head and wonders what the difference between tank top and cami is*



This took forever! But it's finally done and comments/suggestions are welcome.

After a bunch of knitting and frogging and knitting and frogging, the cami/tank top I've been working on is to this point:



Since it's mostly made up and I'm a noob at that (this is my first from-scratch pattern), I'm not totally happy with it. The very top is the issue...obviously it's a little bit big on me and I was wondering...is there a way to crochet the top to make it more snug? I have a keyhole openning in the middle and a simple crochet chain to tie it together.

I saw this sweater when I was window shopping:

My hubby, who actually saw it first, told me "You could totally knit that! Maybe not the lace but the shape you could do."

So...I must try and do it since he has so much faith in me. Can anyone suggest a similar pattern to match the way this cardigan is shaped/constructed?

Yay for the slouchy hat!

I love Patton's SWS! And the seed stitch didn't take as long as I was thinking it would. It only took 3, maybe 4 days to finish.

Just make a hat!



Huzzah! One more project done. I made this for a friend. Someone posted the one she made for her step dad (level 40 paladin in WoW at the time), I showed my friend the photo and she had to have it.

I was happy to have an excuse to buy some Berrocco Pleasure on sale at Yarn.com, two more needles sizes for my set of Knitpicks Options and, on top of that, learn how to do Magic Loop which is pretty nice.

I love how it looks! When I'm not moving. The front was HUGE when I finished it. So was the back. I had to insert some yarn at the top and draw both front and back tight so they didn't flop open. I think it's the yarn maybe since it's not that springy. My fix didn't work too well since the back "fix" broke. That sounds funny.

Anyway, I hope you like.

A couple of FOs, recently finished.

Knitscene's Tulips sweater (fall 2006 issue I think):



Pinwheel baby blanket in cotton:



I'm so glad the blanket is finally done! The sweater took me the longest because it took a while before I finally picked out beads. I had to use a crochet chain for the belt since I did the yarn overs backwards (oops). But that was a happy accident, I think, because the beads are fun. Only thing is, I wish I'd made it longer since it makes me look short (I still wear it though).

I guess I didn't have to frog it. I found out you can just do a M1 (which I did) and keep going. Also the yarn I use is really sticky (noro silk garden) and dropping the stitches wasn't easy. So, I"m guessing it's not about to unravel!



I finished something!
