Another day, another hat.

I was making another kid's hat, using a pale teal yarn. I was almost finished, but I RAN OUT OF THE YARN. ARGGGGGHHHH! So I frogged it (ripped it out, in case you didn't know!) & started over making stripes with the teal & a white yarn. Just barely made it. Then while looking for yarn for the next hat, guess what I found? More teal yarn! ARGGGHHH! Figures!  I swear it wasn't there when I looked before!

Knitted Dog Sweater Pattern

I've added a link for Sparky's doggie sweater pattern to my knitting page. You can find the sweater pattern here.  It is made with Lion Brand Wool-Ease yarn.  If you have any problems with this pattern, please let me know!  I've never written a pattern for the general public's use before, so bear with me!  After searching on the internet for a dog sweater pattern, I didn't quite find what I wanted, so I designed my own pattern.  I've never seen a dog sweater before, so this was an interesting thing to attempt!  I think it came out pretty good & he seems to really like it! 

What's going on!

So far, I've made 2 children's hats & currently working on a third. The first was a basic hat, rib on the bottom, then pink & cream stripes in St st. The second is a red mitered hat, intriguing in its design. It was a pattern found on the 'net. I'm having loads of fun with this pattern! Right now, I'm doing a spiral rib hat in a rainbow multicolor, almost completed. Lots of fun, quick & easy, too!

Current works in progress

I'm tweaking the final draft of my dog sweater pattern, so I can post it on my knitting website.  I've made two sweaters so far, just to be sure the pattern worked well.  I've been continually working on Chemo-Hats, I just took 14 more to my local cancer center.  I also took about 50 squares to Michaels Craft Store for Warm Up America.  I'm making children's & babies hats, mittens & scarves for donation to the needy.  I'm periodically working on my circular shawl when I have no projects at hand.  Still pending is my fisherman sweater, about 3/4 completed...just need to finish 1-1/2 sleeves. 

Welcome!

Welcome to my first entry into my world of Inane Knitting Babble!  Doing this is probably a better idea rather than boring my family to tears with my rants & raves about knitting.  Hopefully it will give them a break for a while!
