New Projects

So, I started a new knitting project over the weekend. You’ll never believe me when I tell you. I’m using Lion Brand Homespun yarn. How’s that for a glutton for punishment? However this time I decided to go with a solid color that way I don’t have to worry about matching up colors and I decided to knit “It” double stranded.

This project is definitely a Yule gift, so I can’t say too much about it. All I’m going to say is it’s about one-third of the way complete. Thank goodness! I’ve been working very hard on knitting it as fast as possible. Now to keep it under wraps till I can give it away is the next step once I finish it.

Now that I’ve knitted a nice portion of it, I’ve decided that I’d like to find a similar yarn in wool and make a sweater out of it; and maybe even the same stitch pattern I’m using as well. All I know is that it would make one of those nice cozy sweaters which is all you’d need to wear outside in the cold weather.

I wish I had an unlimited supply of yarn and needles to knit projects with. So far I’ve got one skein of yarn in my stash. Everything else is bagged and labeled as future projects. As far as I can count there’s only three: two pair of socks, a sweater, and a pair of gloves. I need needles damn it! That’s my only drawback.

Well I am going to go knit for a while. Cheers mates!
