yarn | Thousand Needles

Now that my fingerless mitts are done, here’s where I am on my Knitting WIP list.

finish burying the ends of the last fingerless mitten – Done 9/2025
Take a picture of my GardenGate sweater. It’s not finished until this is done.
finish repairing the sock that Willow chewed up
Add heels to 2 sock tubes
3 kitted sock projects in whatever order I feel like knitting them in
go through the 2 bins of yarn projects. From memory, the yarn is set aside but some may have a pattern name with it, but most probably do not. I doubt any of them have actual patterns with the project unless I bought the project kit as it was.
go through my stash. give away what I no longer want to knit and re-stash what I want to keep.

Happy knitting friends,

Melanie

Getting it done – one piece at a time…

Manhattan Handbag
In Process
1/28/2015

Since I finished Flowers and Baskets I’m taking a little break with this bag. It’s been difficult. I do not know why it’s so hard for me to follow instructions for a bag pattern but I’ve messed up more times than I can count on this one. I’m surprised its looking as good as it looks right now. I take each mess up in stride though and chalk it all up to a learning experience. This is the first bag I’m attempting and I do not know the difference between fleece, decobond, and peltex… ;0 So I just look at the sizes and luckily all three were cut in completely different amounts so I could kind of tell what was what. The next one will not be as difficult.

First Yarn Project of the year
Sweet Pea Hat
1/28/2015

I’ve also broken out the yarn ball that I set aside last fall. I wanted to get it done in time for Jacob to where in the winter but we all know how much crafting I did last fall (nada!)…. So, I’ve casted on and knitted 3 rounds. Don’t tell Jacob it’s called a Sweet Pea Hat – I think he won’t wear it on principle.

Yarnbox
January shipment
1/28/2015

And my January shipment from Yarnbox came yesterday. It’s lovely yarn, I’ll put it aside with my other yarnbox boxes. I’m starting to build a yarn stash too….
