For my wedding

I just finished these Bo Peep fingerless gloves to wear at my wedding. I spun a silk single and then knit them up. I put the keyhole on the palm but it looks OK.

Now to see if they look good with the dress.

Hat for my new granddaughter

I spun yarn and knit a hat for my new granddaughter Khloe as per my daughter's request. I actually used elastic yarn for the ribbing on the hat by spinning wool around elastic thread. Kathy taught me how to do it. It helps keep the hat snug. The baby is way more adorable than the hat. But I liked how it turned out.

Crystal's slouch Hat

I made a slouch hat for my daughter Crystal. I first spun merino wool and black angora wool about 50/50 blend in a bulky yarn. Then I knit it up for her. She told me she needed to improve my fiber to people ratio. LOL! She is so thoughtful that way. (and so right!) I have more fiber than I can spin in 2 lifetimes!

My new granddaughter's hat

I carded and spun yarn then knit it into a hat for my sweet baby Khloe. The grapefruit is keeping her place for now. I will post her picture when her mommy sends me one.

Knitting Daily TV: Tubular Cast-On

Other Tubular cast on from Knitting Daily. I like it!

Italian Tubular Cast-on part 1

I liked this video on the Italian Tubular Cast-on. I am now to the point where I want to learn some different cast-ons for my knitting. This one is cool. There is also a good demo written on knitty.com that I like here. The YouTube for this type of tubular cast on is on knitting daily and I'll post it too, probably above this one. Very cool stuff!




The video should point you to part two at the end of it.

Enjoy!

Hat yarn

I made some yarn for my daughter to knit herself a slouch hat. It's Shetland and black angora and I spun it chunky. Now we are looking for a pattern.
