So on to my next knitting adventure for the weekend...
I realized earlier this week that I had a miscrossed cable on one of my Afghan squares. Well I had planned on fixing it Friday night but I did not feel I had enough brain power to do so so I successfully did that this morning. Here is my boo boo.
And here it is all fixed again!
Yeah! Here's a little preview of this square. It has some killer cables in it and I am slow going on this one.
I also have started swatching for Chris' sweater. I made three (YES THREE) swatches for it and they are currently in the washing machine. I want to make sure that this sweater turns out since it is the first sweater that I will be making for someone else. Hopefully I will start actually knitting it this week.
Hey, BTW, If you are ever out and about and are looking for a really cool yarn shop check out the yarn garage in Rosemount, MN. WOW, I was curious as to what to expect from the website and it was awesome. The prices were great too! They had tons and tons of really interesting stuff. I will be back when I have some cash to blow. (now when will that ever be?) Anyways, today I was a good girl. I purchased some butterfly cotton yarn that I make the apple hats with and A 2nd Treasury Of Magical Knitting. I have had my eye on that book for awhile and now it is mine! Ah ha!
I've got to say that I am looking forward to the rest of my weekend. Then working Monday (not really looking forward to that part, but it pays the bills). Then when I come home Chris and Brownie should be home. Then I have Tuesday off and Wednesday! It's like a bonus weekend in the middle of the week!
These are my newest thing to cast on. I've been thinking about this yarn a lot the past couple of weeks. Kari, Betsy and I dyed this at the sheep and wool festival last month. I am knitting both sock at the same time, toe up. I am using the a pattern from More sensational Knitted Socks called stockinette stitch triangles.
This is my little Fiber Trends Felted Hedgehog. I bought this kit at the sheep and wool festival last month. I have had him done for a couple weeks now but I just bought his eyes and felted him yesterday.
Here is another Fiber Trends felted sheep. Same thing with this guy, he's been finished for a couple weeks but just got felted yesterday.
This is me at my cousin Alex's Graduation party last weekend wearing my finished Roundabout leaf tank. (why yes that is a glass of wine in my hand. Why do you ask? Aren't you jealous!)
These four squares are made for the Great American Aran Afghan. I started this YEARS ago and picked it back up a couple of weeks ago. I finished that last square a couple weeks ago and have another really challenging on the needles right now.
