Knitters/Crocheters

I know that there are a few of you.
I have a lot of time on my hands, so I'm attempting some new things. I'm actually using patterns now, where before I just knitted whatever came about. Big Grin

I'm beginning to realize that I only have small needles and I'm becoming a yarn snob.

I knitted a hat for my nephew, one for myself (no patterns), a baby-carrier (no pattern), and now I'm going to start working on some fingerless gloves.

Anyone else? Any deals on good yarn, needles, etc.?

aggie those are sooooo pretty! I tried and tried to get how to do this...but I guess I got the wrong yarn. It keeps coming apart on me. I can get to the 2nd line then I get confused. I might get some other kind of yarn and try again.

The pattern I used for that blanket is so very easy. It takes a HUGE plastic hook, so it was fast and easy to see what you're doing. The first two or three rows are the hardest, so don't give up! hug

INSTRUCTIONS:
With Q hook, ch 58.
Dc in 4th ch from hook and in each ch across (55 dc)
Ch 3, turn, dc in each st across (55 dc)
Repeat for a total of 55 rows.
At the end of the last row, ch 1, turn and sc across. 3 sc in corner st. Continue to sc along the sides of the rows,
3 sc in corner st, sc across bottom, 3 sc in corner st, sc up the second side of the rows, 3 sc in corner st, join
with sl st to first sc. Finish off.

Thanks PG & BarbaraJean. (Can't bring myself to abbreviate your name.. Coverlaugh) Might bring Drio in here again!

I used the abbreviation on an online game for a while. I learned my lesson. Wink

Actually, nobody calls me Barbara Jean except my big sis. I go by Barbara or Barb, prefer Barb.

I liked Barbara Jean until I watched Reba. Now I feel like a redneck. look around Too late to change it now though. I use it everywhere online.

I finished a new mesh bag - I like it so much more than the first pattern I used. I think next time I'll sew the handles together instead of tapering & knotting them. It worked up really quickly - I had to rip all but the bottom circle out a week ago and finished it yesterday. Whee





My next project is another set of baby blankets for the twins. My sister wants the same blankets in the opposite yarn I used the first time. I did them in two different yarns b/c I couldn't find what I was looking for in one or the other. She loved them both, naturally. laugh out loud

I can't wait to see how that afghan turns out! That's so neat. I've had lots of time lately - my youngest has speech 2x/week and I can either sit there and stare at the wall or crochet. He's also working on getting used to his twin bed, so I spend a lot of time playing bouncer at naptime and bedtime. "Go back to your room!" laugh out loud It's easier to sit with my crochet project and listen to a book on my MP3 player than to get angry about him not staying in his room.

I've been playing on Ravelry... I am totally jazzed up about my new projects! I love the idea of tracking everything I'm working on.

Is everyone else keeping up with stuff on Ravelry?

i need to update ravelry so badly. i have an entire new bin of yarn i didn't add to my stash. it is so addicting. once i was accepted on there i couldnt keep away. i found so many amazing patterns.

i want to knit a few sets of dish cloths as gifts but i am so not feeling any patterns. normally i love knitting dishcloths because they are such instant gratification and i can do them while watching tv. things seem either too plain or too complicated for me to bother with.

i think this is going to end with more ballband cloths.
