Finished Wildberry Cowl

Here is the undecided cowl from the last post. I went with what was suggested and finished the cowl. After blocking it is fabulous. It is going to be a great spring time cowl as it is light and airy.

Thanks for the help

Undecided

Okay so I am almost done with this cowl but cannot decide if I am happy with how it has turned out. I have just the ending rib stitch rows left and then I have to bind off but I just can't get myself to finish. I love the yarn and I love the pattern but I just don't know if the two together work.

Should I just finish it and be done or should I tear it a part and find a new partner for each one??

Changes

Okay so if you are someone who reads this blog on a regular basis then you might have noticed that it is always changing in appearance. I cannot decide on what I want it to look like, well that is I cannot get what I want it to look like to appear on the screen. I want something that is relaxing and peaceful, simple, but something that says adventure. If any one has some suggestions please let me know.

As for my knitting I have been procrastinating huge on my Jan/Feb socks; nothing has changed since the last post. I did however knit my god daughter another hat, this one a soft yellow with a white ribbed trim. Super cute. I have also finished a het for a soon to be baby in my friend circle...

I have also started tossing around the idea of an Etsy shop. I have urchased a book to help me figure it out. It has a lot of good information from people who have had success with their crafting buisnesses...

AND! I have started a project for myself. It is a super cute cowl made form a beautiful sock yarn. I got the pattern off Ravelry (here).  Stay tuned for more pics of this beauty :)

 

 
Well that is all for today,

It's February!

Only 24 more days until I get married!!!

Anyways here is an update on my sock...



















I know it looks like I am not doing a lot of knitting but I am! It's just not producing many finished objects lately.

Here is a pic of my knitting bag that I carry around every where with me














Well I am off to Chapters to pick up Debbie Bliss' new magazine!!

Too many projects on the go!

So I am beginning to have too many projects on the go but I did happen to finish one today. On Saturday I started designing a patter for fingerless mitts using that so so soft yarn I got for a steal earlier in the month. So far the pattern is done and one mitt looks fantastic!




















I have also been working on my self imposed sock club January Socks; however this is not going as well as planned. I think I might have to do a pair of socks every two months at the rate that I am knitting these. Here is a pic to show my progress.















Also, I have been working on a project for my friend Jenn's new baby that is expected in March. This project is going rather slowly because I am just not liking the yarn that I picked. I am using a 100% cotton yarn and it's really making my fingers hurt from having to grip it so tightly. But this is the progress I have made on that as well,















Lastly, as we were watching the football games last night I was informed that my god daughter has out grown her hat that I had knitted for her when she was born. She is now one month old! and is already in need of a new hat so I casted on for this lovely soft pink hat last night at 9:30 and finished it today at about 8 pm. It is sooo cute,















So hopefully now that I know Abigail's head will be warm I can concentrate on my cold feet and finish these darn socks!
