Update: please email me if you find a problem with the pattern. So far my students haven't but, typing it out I may have missed something in spite of the 10 times i read it over. ;-)

Froggin'

Yup, I frogged the Black Purl sock. But it's ok, I started them again immediately and I love them even more now. I was using size 2 needles and when I tried the sock on I didn't like how it fit. SO, I frogged, changed needle sizes and like magic it's working out much better.

Now for the ribbon scarf. I have a student who started running out of time on getting her scarf done so I took it to finish for her. Here are some pictures of it. She is doing the alternate pattern that I wrote. The pictures don't do the ribbon justice, because it's more of a pale pink with a dark green and black.

If you happen to have a Hobby Lobby around this is the yarn she is using. It's really beautiful.

Pictures

They were slow in coming, but here are some pictures finally. LOL. The only thing that I didn't get a picture of is a triangular shawl that I made and gave away as soon as it was finished.

This pictures is of the fair isle bag that I started back in the Spring. Since this picture was taken I've finished the purple flowers on it and started another color section. I really need to get this done because I'm in serious need of a new tote.


In my Thursday morning knitting class I have several woman making prayer shawls and lap blankets, well you know how I am. I got inspired and started one too. ;-) This is a pattern that I made up and will be a lap blanket for the grandfather of a friend of mine who is in an assisted living home. He's 90 years old.

Another inspiration from a student. I have to thank Bev for sharing with us one of her new knitting books she bought. In it, is this cute scarf pattern made from ribbon yarn. Well guess what I just happened to have in my stash for a few years. Yes, I said a few years. And I wondered what will I do with this stuff, well it's perfect for the scarf. By the way, you all know how I love patterns that look complicated but really are simple. This one is perfect. I am getting so many compliments on this project all ready. The only thing that I will change on the next one is the width. I think it's too wide. 27 stitches on size 10.5US to give you and idea of the width.

So there you have it. Oh and I do have some new sock yarn and plans on getting some summer socks going pretty soon.

It's nice to post some real knitting stuff instead of personal stuff. (smile)
