Knit Washcloth

Mama Knits

My daughter Mary bought me this print for my birthday, from Etsy. It beautifully combines two of my favorite things - knitting & nesting dolls! I bought the ceramic tile frame off of Etsy too.

Attempting Gloves

This is a picture of a pair of gloves a friend wants me to make for her daughter for Christmas. It's gloves that leave the finger and thumb tips open for texting.

This is what I have done so far. I am using a generic glove pattern and just leaving the tip of of the index finger and thumb off.

Using gray Caron Simply Soft.

Knitted Throw

I keep coming across more things mom made. She made this throw for me when she found out we were moving to a new place. She asked me about colors and made something that drew in the earthtones that our house is mostly decorated in. I keep this on the couch in my Florida room.

Stripey Socks

Made these shades of grey stripey socks for daughter Anna. The pattern is from Getting Started Knitting Socks. I used a self-striping fingering weight sock yarn.

Socks

I'm trying to learn how to knit socks. I'm starting on these basic socks, which are made using 4 bamboo needles, size 7 and a soy blend worsted yarn that has a silky, cottony feel.  I am learning from the book Get Started Knitting Socks, which I bought used on Amazon.

Ok, so this is the "finished" sock. I'm considering this a practice sock, since I made a few mistakes on it. I really did enjoy making it though, and look forward to making and actual pair of socks. :)

Little Pink Knitted Bag

I really like this little bag. I made one for Mary and one for Nicole for Mother's Day. They are knitted with cotton worsted, which has a really soft silky feel. I got the pattern from a book, Last Minute Knitted Gifts. The projects are categorized by how long they take to make.
