Speaking of finishing projects, I finally finished my Sweet and Sunny Cowl! I took a picture but it's kind of dark and blurry.. I'll take a new picture soon.
I finished Nala's blankets (more kitty stuff? Enough with the crazy catlady already!). One with a pink edging that matched her pillow, and one with purple edging. I couldn't resist adding a miniture pillow to that one too!
I've almost finished the fifth Christmas beanie which should mean I was finishing up the last one, untill I decided I had to make one more for my youngest nephew.. I've made one for all the kiddo's (my nieces and nephews) in Canada, except for the baby! I figure I must try and make a toddler-sized beanie..
Speaking of adding to my to-do's.. I had so much fun practicing the star stitch that I now want to explore other pattern stitches! So I'm adding to my list (full update here):
Crochet:
Jasmine Stitch // Waffle Crochet // Basic Tunisian Crochet Stitch // Pineapple Stitch // Brick Stitch // Cibele's Stitch // Crochet Moss Stitch // Basketweave Stitch
Knitting:
Lotus Flower Stitch // Checkmark Ribs // Basketweave Stitch // Diamond Grid // Ribboned Stockinette // Winding Columns // Eyelet Moss Stitch
Enthousiastic much? Definitely! Hope you all have a lovely week!
Love the cowl and those bookmarks are such a great idea and look so pretty also. Nala I'm sure will be delighted with her blankets and pillows. Love the new additions to the list and I look forward to seeing you try them.
ReplyDeleteThe cowl looks lovely, very sunny, especially when everything is a bit drab outside now (well here anyway). I really like the bookmarks, such a nice gift. I totally get the crazy cat lady stuff...I don't think you're alone!
ReplyDeleteThose bookmarks are stunning!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking list of stitches and techniques to learn! I am in a similar boat but have not been able to articulate the exact techniques I want to learn.
ReplyDeleteYour nieces and nephews will love the beanies!
I have been on a hat kick too!
Oh! I love all your projects! and I add them to my favs like the nest for my cat and miniature dachsund and I love the cowl and color of it. The bookmarks are awesome! I will definitely be trying those and what great presents they'll make! Love your enthusiasm!
ReplyDeleteCowl's are my favorite project to knit..the picture looks fine..although I can't seem to focus on the knitting with that cute kitty sitting there.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really neat pattern for bookmarks..I've never seen it before..

Woo, I got lots of inspiration from reading your list of stitch patterns. There's still so much to learn :D
ReplyDeleteI love those kitty blankets, and the kitty itself :D
I love all of those! You've been very busy on pretty things.
ReplyDeleteThose bookmarks are lovely! I'm thinking of adding them to my Christmas to-do list. The sunny cowl is very sunny ... certain to brighten up the gloomiest winter day!
ReplyDeleteI do love a garter stitch scarf
