Knitted Dalek


I saw this pattern on Ravelry and I had to make myself one. I just finished it up this weekend!


Weasley Sweaters




I finally finished both Weasley Sweaters. The red one finished in November and the blue one finished the first week of January. They both fit my nephews perfectly!

"Sweet Sweater" Teddy Bear Sweater


I made this faire isle teddy bear sweater for my nephews birthday in September. I had it finished on time, but I have been late posting my blog. Yarn is Dale of Norway Helio, and the pattern is from the Knitty Gritty tv show on the DIY network.


World War II Socks Completed


I finally got the second sock finished of my World War II pattern. I finished this last week after sending off my Hogwarts Socks to Ophelia Grindlewald. I have been so busy the past few months that I haven't had much time to knit other than the socks for the sock swap! By the way, I was starting to sweat on these near the end as I didn't think I would have enough yarn to finish the sock. I made it with about 3 yards to spare!


OwlPost Received!




Recieved my package via OwlPost from the Hogwarts Owlery today. My Hogwarts Sock Swap 2 bundle came from Ophelia Grindlewald and I just love it. Not only are the socks perfect, they fit too! She also sent me a book, a bookmark, 3 sets of needles, a stitch counter, and some really cool frog stitch markers! Thanks again Ophelia!!

Oh my Gosh!! It's Lime and Violet!!


I knitted this afghan for my mom for her birthday on August 5th. I finished this up in May, and put it away. I took it out today to wrap up, and I just realized that the colors are "Lime and Violet". I have become a fan of the Lime and Violet podcasts after discovering them last month. You can hear them at the link on the side of this page. The pattern is from Edith Eig, but I modified the pattern to make a 40" x 60" afghan. It is done in a Fan and Feather stich pattern.



I used the Sirdar Chatterbox Yarn.


Harry Potter Book 7

Half way through Book 7 of the Harry Potter Series. Haven't had much time to read the last few weeks. Hope to get it finished this weekend.
