Recent Knitting Projects

As every knitter or crafter knows, you have to think ahead. Christmas knitting? Start in September AT THE LATEST. You hear news that someone is expecting. I NEED to know the sex of the baby as soon as you do! :) (Gotta know if I should use pink or blue yarn.)

My Santa and Christmas Countdown signs have been in the works since Halloween. It's the way it goes.

So...here are some somewhat recent knitting projects that have gone to the recipients and can now be posted.

These little boy hats are so sweet. Both are newborn size. One was for a friend from church one is for my new nephew. For this I sort of just made them up as I went using a photo of another hat as a guide. If you're interested in the pattern, let me know.

This little punkin was just for fun and is a really fun pattern from Permission to Unwind. I only got one in before Halloween but I'm sure next year I'll be making more.

My cousin's daughter fell in love with this little gal. So she lives there now. For the snowman, I used this pattern only half-ing everything to make it small (about 5" tall). I made up the hat pattern cause I wanted her to have a kicky beret.

And this is a project I've had on my list forever. This Gathered Scarf is GORGEOUS if I do say so myself. It's a fantastic pattern from Bag 'n' Trash! I made one for me and one for my Mother-in-Law for her birthday. I changed the pattern a bit to make it a little more bulky (less lacey). If you'd like details, let me know.

And this little guy is from a pattern from Little Cotton Rabbits. (I LOVE everything she designs!) Not sure where he's headed. I already have the cupcake pincushion but I may not be able to part with him. He makes me smile! Doesn't he look so serious about the job of holding pins?

That's it for now. There's more, but they haven't reached their new homes yet. So I'll post them later...I've always got at least one knitting project going.

What's on your needles?????

  1. OH, wow, that pink scarf is amazing!! So beautiful! I can't even tell you how much we love the hat for Carson. It is adorable on him and fits perfectly. Well, of course, you must know we love it as we had him wear it in our family pictures. Thank you so much!!
