writefictionHere are the latest projects.......
Vegas Armwarmers. I tend to call them Handwarmers b/c they really only cover your hands. They're comfy tho. I got the pattern from the knitting page @ About.com.
This is my crocheted Panda Bear that's pink and blue (b/c I had no black / white) and still needs arms. He's got legs now, but obviously this picture doesn't show it. I think it's pretty good for my first attempt. I got him out of an old craft magazine from, like, the 80's.
And last, but not least, my KNITS for Kids sweater:
I started it yesterday and this is how far I made it yesterday: 8 and 1/2 inches. That's the first part of the body. Now I've added on 28 stitches to both ends to start knitting the sleeves on. It's going to be a child's size 2. I thought for my first one that a small size would be more appropriate. And let me tell you, I seriously need to get some stitch markers to help me count how many stitches there are b/c once I added on both sleeves, there was 122 stitches. But luckily my mom came up with the idea to use large paper clips. My idea was to use safety pins, but of course we couldn't find any. But I'm pretty happy with my work so far. What's your opinion? Do you like the color?
Well, I'm off to start knitting again! I'll probably post another picture of this tomorrow to show you how far I got today. =)
Peace Out!
