Well, it took longer than I thought, but I am FINALLY finished. I think it turned out wonderful (except I need to fix that dropped stitch I found last night).

This is my Mom's Christmas Present. (She doesn't read my blog, so its safe to show)

OK - its been a while since I've had knitting content. My camera has been broken and I've been working on one big project that I haven't had a chance to photograph and one small project that I finished up a few weeks ago.

Well, I can't say I'm 100% pleased with how this turned out - but only because I thought it would be BIGGER.  Its my fault, I didn't take in account the differences between the yarn in the pattern and the yarn I used and how that would affect the size.  So while I did knit it bigger that the original pattern, it came out smaller because the yarn I ( Read more... )

Last week, I got to be the receptionist at work because our receptionist was on vacation.  When I work up front, it is kind of hard for me to do more than answer the phone because my job (when I have stuff to do) requires enough concentration that multiple phone calls can just drive me insane.  So, when I am at the front desk, I am allowed to knit ( Read more... )

Generally Knitting swaps work like this.

Someone comes up with the idea like this - I like Tea, I like knitting, I know a lot of other people like tea and knitting, I like swaps, lots of knitters like swaps - maybe this would be a great swap. And the Knitters Tea Swap is born in 2006. I was lucky to get in by the skin of my teeth last year and was ( Read more... )

I took pictures. My sweetie went out and bought himself a kickass digital camera and we went picture hunting up in the Tallulah Falls area. I think my little weenie point and shoot did a great job.
