Knit Wire Bracelets

I've been feverishly making stock for Christmas and for my upcoming Craft Shows, so here's some of the latest goodies- some knit wire bracelets, that are VERY hard on the hands to make!  Fun, but tedious...

Almost...

The good news is that I'm at the end of my 90 foot rope (hahaha), the bad is that my rug's barely 3 feet across, so I'm gonna keep going... I think I'll get another 30 feet of filler cord, THEN quit! I've come too far to give up yet!...

My 1st Sock!

Here's another example of why I should never say never! I thought I would never want to, be able to, or understand how to make socks, but this is my new challenge for myself, and here's the toe of my 1st sock!!!!! The yarn is gorgeous- from my favorite lady @ Creatively Dyed (colorway-Hancock), the pattern is from the book Socks From The Toe Up by Wendy Johnson- knit using the Van Dyke pattern. My mentor is awesome, and I'm very excited about this new project, wish me luck!!

Labyrinth Circle Rug

I've decided to finally start a daunting project, even bigger than the blanket, making a circle labyrinth rug from the book One Skein by Leigh Radford... If you are on Ravelry, check out members progress on these rugs. It will be awesome when done, but even working a foot a day, it'll take me over 3 months to finish... That is my goal, so we'll see! It will complement my daughter's blanket well, since I'm using alot of the same yarns and colors, it's another great stash-buster!

Scrap Yarn Blanket

Here's my latest project- a fun scrap yarn blanket that will be for my daughter's new twin bed.

All I did was cast on 150 stitches, and I'm just knitting the garter stitch with a new yarn each row, with a fringe edge that will go along the side of the bed. It's fun and I can't possibly get bored because I'm always looking ahead to see what color to do next! What a great way to use up your leftover yarns! It's been taking me about 10-15 minutes each row, so who knows how long this one will take me?- Wish me luck, only 7 more feet to go!

Beer Sweater

My friend Nichole made this beer sweater for my hubby for his birthday, and it's toooooo stinkin' cute!! We saw the pattern on Ravelry.com and HAD to have some, so now her hubby and mine have matching sweaters!!! She's the one who taught me to knit last fall, and maybe, just maybe, someday I can learn to do this myself!
