Trying something new…
One of the reasons I wanted to start a weblog is because I knit and spin, and few of my friends or family members share my interest in these activities. So for the past year or so I’ve found myself reading all of the great knitting weblogs out there for inspiration and ideas, to learn new techniques, and to enjoy (albeit passively) the camaraderie in this online community. Perhaps in this manner I’ll be able to become a more active participant.
So I thought I’d start the new year by sharing some of my current projects. (I tend to keep several projects on the needles at any given time.)
Clockwise, starting from upper-left, these are:
-- Two socks-in-progress. The green one is Fleece Artist (I think the colorway is called "rainforest) and the striped one is Austermann Step in color 06
-- Fiber Trends "Braid and Bobble" hat in Lamb's Pride Worsted
-- Minnowknits "Orangini" jumper in Blue Sky Organic cotton
-- Minnowknits "Plain Jane" cardigan in Schoeller & Stahl Portofino
-- Stripey Bootee from "50 Baby Bootees to Knit" in Rowan Cashsoft DK
-- Double Crossing Diamonds Aran Pullover from "Men in Knits" in Cotton Fleece
As you might be able to tell from three of these, a few of my friends are having babies in 2006. And I just love to knit for babies. I'll provide more details on the individual projects as they are finished, and hope to have several more to share over time as well.
Happy New Year!
