Bad Blogger...Good Knitter!!!






















Okay...So I haven't really been very good with my "blog". Oh well, life just gets so busy! How do moms who work all day outside of the home ever find enough time in their day??? I recently took on a few extra hours at work (I'm up to 13-20 hours a week) and also took on watching a little 4 month old 3 times a week as well. I find myself relaxing by knitting or scrapbooking. Here are a few projects that I've been working on. I have more but I need some pictures taken (Christmas presents are on the way already).
1. The first project was a set of mittens. This was fun when all I had to do was make one. The second one just seemed too time consuming. I was ready to be done. I really like how well they turned out.
2. The next is another hat. Hats are so much easier when you knit in the round every row!
3. My last project was a blast! By the time I had the last set of 12 in the pattern to complete, I could hardly wait to be done and start my next project. This Shawl made from a FREE pattern that I acquired from Michaels was a fairly simplistic Shawl made from Homespun Yarn. This is also a Christmas present for my mother. SSHHhhh! Don't tell her:)
Be on the lookout for some more completed projects such as flower petal slippers and market tote bag.
