Summer swapper stuff!

I received my first package from my summer swapper right before I left to go out of town so I haven't had the time to post pictures. I received some really beautiful sock yarn that was hand dyed by my secret pal as well as some hand lotion when my hands get "tired" from knitting :) I love the colors in my sock yarn and can't wait to try it out!

Finally pictures of my finished yarn!

Ok so I've been really busy the last 2/3 weeks. But I have pictures of my yarn to put up! I'm pretty proud of it. I just need some time to work on knitting some socks or knitting anything at this point in time would be great!

More sock yarn pictures!

Ok I have a few more to post before I am able to post the final product. It defintely changed a bit once I microwaved it. Maybe there was a bit too much dye? I think it's pretty cool looking. We'll have to see once it's knitted up!

Tomorrow I should have a finished product to put up! I'm so excited! Now I can think about dying the yarn for my first sweater. I'll be using easter egg dye this time though!

I finally DID it.

Ok I finally decided I had the guts to try and dye some of my own sock yarn. I received this from my secret pal last summer during the first summer swappers event on www.knittinghelp.com. This yarn is knitpicks Fingerweight 100% wool sock yarn. I used koolaid to dye my yarn. The colors I had were Blue, Red, Orange and Green. Once it is completed dried, I will post another finished product. Lane was a big help. He was told NOT to touch the yarn b/c I was afraid the Koolaid would dye his little fingers. You can see for yourself how well he listened!

My 2 projects!

I have 2 projects I'm currently working on. One is a sock out of Jitterbug Sock yarn by Colinette. I love the colors. I can't remember the name though.

The other is the Alene Camisole from Diynetwork. I need to seam up the sides and then pick up stitches to start the lace portion to the bottom half. Here are some pictures!

Just wanted to leave a knitting update. Lots of things going on around here!

Oddball Blanket #4!!

Well I was able to complete my 3 inch section of the odd ball blanket in less than a week. I really think I could of finished it before Friday if it wasn't for my monthly friend. It's ok though. I will get it out in the mail on Monday. 1 week from when I received. Not to bad, if I do say so myself!

I used caron yarn. The color was dusty rose. I used the waves pattern from knitpicks.com afghan kit. It was really easy and I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to receiving blanket #5 when my time comes around. It was great to see it work up and I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like.

PS Now it's back to working on all those projects that I already have yarn for!
