Palindrome Scarf!

It's finally finished! I'm so happy about the way it turned out. This was my first attempt at cables. I think my sister will love it! I think next summer I want to try and do a sweater in cables for lane. I received some great patterns from the secret swap last time!

So here it is!

Secret Santa Swap!

I'm participating in yet another swap from KH website. I love the people there and it's always so much fun!

My partner is new to KH and new to the swap of course. I've gotten her package all together and it will be going into the mail tomorrow! I'm sending it priority mail and it should be there by the end of the week. I hope she enjoys all the things I put in there for her!

I have also now compelted my sister's palindrome scarf. It's beautiful if I do say so myself and the the cables were surprisingly easy to do! I'll post pictures soon!

I also received my "oh baby" baby booties pattern that I bought off ebay. The booties are so cute. After I get nana's christmas present knitted up, I'll get a few pairs knittied up!

I have also been posting on ravelry. Maybe I'll get all my stash listed...one day :)

pictures will be posted soon!

Palindrome scarf!

Ok, I caved I started the palindrome scarf. Except it's not for me. When I was printing out the pattern my sister (16 years old) said I LOVE that scarf, do you have the exact yarn and can you make it for me? The funny thing was my mom had 2 skeins lying around so I started. I'll probably have to get another skein or two to finish it off for her but here it is! This is my first attempt at cables. They are much easier than I thought and it's working up quickly and nicely! I'm using Patons Sws in the natural pink colorway (I think that's what it's called). I got the pattern from http://www.cometosilver.com/ . Thanks
silver!

UFO's!

Ok so I thought about the UFO's floating around my house and thought I might make a list. I'd like to try and work on finishing some of these before the end of the year!

1. Combo Corsett-T from diynetwork.com - Actually i'm hoping to finish knitting on it by the weekend and then learn to do the crochett border and buy some buttons. So maybe in a week this will be a FO!
2. Alene Camisole also from diynetwork.com - I've done the front and back to this. I need to block it, seam it and cast on for the "skirting" portion.
3. Afghan Kit from knitpicks.com. I started this and realized I made a mistake. I need to do a bit of froggin and redo a row or two. I love the yarns that came with this kit though. It gave me a great chance to try out different knitpicks.com yarns!
4. Comfort shawl - knittingdaily.com. I want to do this for my husband's nana for christmas. I casted on and really got going on it and realized I made a mistake a row or two back. I ripped it out and now can't seem to get the yarn over to look right. We'll see if I can fix it or if it'll have to be frogged way back.
5. Teddy bear- I started a teddy bear just for the fun of it. I just need to do the arms and finish seaming and then stuffing. It shouldn't take me but a couple of hours to finish this off. It's just sitting there though!
6. Sock with jitterbug sock yarn. I love this yarn. My mom got it for me for christmas. I started a pattern, but it down for a bit and then tried to pick it up and couldn't figure out where I was. I'll probably frog the whole thing and try out a new pattern. I've found some really great ones lately. Maybe the rainy day socks. We'll see

Ok I am pretty sure that's all my unfinished projects. I plan to finish the combo corset-t in the next week or so, provided I figure out all the crochet part and find some nice buttons. After that I need to work on the comfort shawl for my nana. I also bought some Patons "decor" yarn that I want to try to do a palindrome scraf (from silver's website) with. I'm trying to get a project or two done so I can justify starting another one! LOL

I'm heading to San Antonio tomorrow with Lane. My sister's 16th birthday is friday. I'll be bringing projects with me and hopefully I'll get some knit time in! Lane loves it down there and hopefully it'll be warmer down there and he can swim some.
