shame on you, you fool me once

Here 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!

So I've been knitting and crocheting lately. It's all Mary Lou's fault. She called to talk to my mom a few different times and she kept asking if I was knitting. That totally gave me the knit / crochet bug. Now I can't stop. Here are a few of my latest projects.....




I made this on Thursday and Friday. It really didn't take long. It's the first time I've been able to make a Granny Square without someone sitting by my side helping me. I had a really good pattern that was easy to understand.





I started this on Friday when I was done with the above Granny Square. This is only one skein (ball) of yarn. The pattern calls for 5 but my mom only got me 4 b/c she was @ Building #19 and this was all they had. I think it's awesome.

So anyway, that's what I've been up to. And n_isfor_neville's pix of her crocheted animals are really inspiring. But I want to finish this project first. I can't wait to make the Panda Bear. Maybe I'll give it to Teeny Tiny Andrew so he'll always think of his Aunty Panda Bear. =D
