A little bit of knitting

Well, I learned how to knit last year and it has become such a joy in my life.

I wonder sometimes if the lady who taught me how realizes what joy she gave me.

I've knitted several different things, and I'm trying to venture out away from just doing scarves.

I usually laugh and tell my hubby that it is cheap therapy.

Here is a cocoon that I knitted...

A lot of photographers use this to put the baby in.

I think it is adorable....I've asked the photographer that I gave it to, to send me a picture of a baby in it...so I'll update when she does....Hint..hint...hint..

Here's another cocoon that I sent to her.

this has that earthy, organic look...

I'll update when i get a picture with the baby inside...

Here it is finished....

Here are some adorable baby booties that I knitted and then felted.
This was fun to do and loved the way it turned out.
I made another pair of these in black and red for a girl at church who had a baby..they are crazy over the Georgia Bulldogs...they turned out adorable also...don't know where the picture of that is right now.

This is a pom-pom scarf that I made for a little girl.
I've made several of these. They are so light and warm.
These work up so quickly that I've made them for several gifts.
I made one for myself and wear it all of the time.

This is a neat little scarf that I made for Lucas and another for a little boy that's a friend of ours.
It's a nice scarf because I made a hole in the middle of it so you can slide the scarf through and it holds it. You don't have to tie it or loop it to get it to stay on. It's great for active boys. It is very soft and the colors are great: chocolate, creme and light blue.

This is a scarf that I made for Lucas...the colors are great! Lime green and teal.
However, he doesn't want to wear it.
So I think I'm going to sale this online, just haven't made time to list it.


Here is one of the pom-poms scarves in pink....this is the one I made for myself.
I LOVE it!!


I made this one for a friend in Florida. The colors are gorgeous and springy...bright colors that go with anything.

This one of the pom-pom scarves that I made for my mother at Chrismtas time...I love the look of this one...and have the yarn to make for myself one day!

Here's me knitting with the pom-pom yarn...

Fun...fun...fun....

Okay.....here is my first hat. And I LOVE IT!!!!

I had been wanting to make this hat that I saw online. I told Danny that I was wanting to make it so bady but didn't have the yarn....so last week, he said drop me off at the farm and go to town to the yarn store...well, you don't tell a knitter that and her turn that offer down!!

So off I went....to the yarn store in Blairsville. I love that store!

Well, I picked out 4 beautiful wool yarns: creme, chocolate, teal and green.

Oh, it turned out gorgeous!!

I love the look of it...it is also used for photographers a lot.

Well, I couldn't stand it....I had to make that hat...I couldn't sleep...I couldn't clean house...it HAD to be made....

So that night, I put the kids to bed and off to my bed I went to KNIT.....

By the next morning....I made the pom-pom for the end....stitched it on...and whal-la....

Here it is....and I'm so proud of it...

Now I want to put it on a baby and take pictures!!!

When I can, I'll update my blog with a picture of my hat on a baby....fun..fun...fun...

I had really wanted to do all natural colors: creme, tan, carmel and chocolate...however, they didn't have 4 colors like that I can use. So I chose the best colors that I saw. They also had pink yarn...I think I can go back and use these colors but change out the teal for pink and it will be a girly hat...

Oh, how I love to knit!!!
