Its been a bit....

I see it has been a bit sense my last post. i have been crazy busy with work sense i got back from the cabin that i have not had time to knit at all, not even to finish the few rows i have on my scarf! i typically get every other weekend off at my job but i have worked the past 4 weekends in a row and thats when i typically get to destress and knit but that has not happened. i am taking a short break from some of the work i have been doing just to do a bit of an update on what the dealio is with me. im hoping to get my work out in, in a few minutes, toss the laundry in the dryer and finish up with my work and hopfully finish that scarf so i can focus on the heart blanket i have not knit on sense the last update on it, so i hope to have some pics and an update on the green easy leaves scarf soon... dont lose faith in me! until next post!

Busy few days

Well i havent had much time for knitting work has been busy for me and working out after work has cut into much more of my time as well last night after work I went a little old school and played some halo 2 campaign it was quite a stressful day for me, so Tonight after work ill be going with my boyfriend to the apple orchard for cider pressing, i not only find it fun and like to help out anyone anyway I can, I enjoy giving the farm cats a little love too. Well until next time, I gotta get back to work

Blanket update

Here is the latest on my blanket project: it has been a busy week so far so I haven't been working on my blanket as much as I would like, I had worked 5 days was off one and now am working another 5 until I get 2 days off in a row, which is where I hope to do the bulk of my knitting. I am however working on it now and decided to take a quick break to post an update I have pictures to go with it as well, I Am on the first repeat of the pattern, row 8 of a 24 row pattern that u repeat until it is the length u desire. For the pattern itself see click here to see  it and a finished product. Farewell until next post

Update on blanket project

So far I had finished from where I said I was onto the first repeat of the pattern. I'm on row 4 and I had stopped in the middle to take some aspirin and nap I had a wonderful lingering headache from work so not much to report there, I also got another request from my friend to make her something which I was happy to oblige because I really wanted to try the new patterns I found, more on that when I start it.

My plans after work is to try to get the first pattern repeat done on the blanket, so I have an update picture for tomorrows post again see previous post for link to pattern :)

My first post, my current projects

Good news everyone, the title of my post is exactly what it will contain. My current projects include a blanket and a dishcloth. The blanket i am knitting is called the heart baby blanket, it basically consists of knitting and purling. The pattern for the heart blanket can be found here. I have gotten to row 22 in the 24 row pattern, that gets repeated till you get to your desired length. To see what a complete one will look like go to the link I provided earlier in the post. What I'm using to knit this project is the red hearts brand in a rose color if my memory serves me correct i had tossed out the wrap,  I'm knitting on a us size 10 circular needle (6.0 Mm) the pattern calls for a us size 6 circular needle (4.25mm) but I figured I'd do a bigger size needle as i am not knitting this for a baby so I'm using a thicker, not so baby soft, yarn. 

My other project is a flamingo dishcloth my friend had requested for her and her mother, i will not have a picture of that one as I am only to the cast on part I have not actually knitted any rows on that yet. I'm using a lighter pink which again I am unsure of the brand and color name as I had accidently tossed the wrap for it, I believe I got it at a local craft store on clearance where I tend to buy most of my yarn they have a wide selection, they have even expanded their yarn section, and they tend to have good clearance yarn. Anyways a little off topic there, I'm not using the traditional yarn someone would use for dishcloths as I believe they won't actually use them as dishcloths, but I will make them another in a sugar and cream pink of some sort. More on that in another post thanks for looking
