Thin Ice Update

I'm on row 201, just finished up 200 on Thin ice today! I casted on 5/19/12, and already on 201. The first Thin Ice I did, it took me soo long to do, first I ripped it out, then I actually casted on again-and it took me forever but I got it done.  This second time I'm actually going through it very relaxing.  I'm debating to make it either small or big.  Small because I want it done.  My next shawl hopefully will be the Hitchhiker and I hope to do that in rainbow yarn.

30 baby hats Goal

This summer I'm hoping to do 30 baby hats! It seems so little, but at least I'm doing them.  I have one on the needles, and just finished the Hawaiian Punch Baby hat yesterday, then I have the pom-pom newborn hat to finish. Maybe I should make it 100 this summer? Still thinking...

Hawaiian Punch Baby Hat


I just love baby hats, they're so simple, small, and quick satisfaction! Here's a Hawaiian Baby Hat I just finished today. I have another baby hat (preemie) on the needles and thinking about doing baby mittens for the first time, matching ones. I'm also finishing up another baby hat (newborn) with pom-poms. : )

Stash Dash 2012-Getting Ready

 GOALS SETTING WEEK
I'm actively in the group-the Knit Girllls, and I absolute love their podcast.  This is week one of the stash dash 2012, and we're setting goals. We needed to take photos of our yarns and grams we need to lose-well our goal. I'm thinking 3,000 grams will be my goal. Here are the photos of our yarn stash I plan to knit out of: By the way, we have four bags of yarn :P.

Stash Dash 2012-The Knit Girllls

Hello again! I think tomorrow starts the Stash Dash for the Knit Girllls, I participated last year. This will be my second year.  This time focuses on the weight for instance with ounces or grams. (That's what I'm doing.) Here's my projects so far with the total amount of weight.

1.) I love to knit washcloth: 70.9 g/2.5 oz... I'm going to try and finish it today or tomorrow so I can enter it in the stash dash.

2.) Thin Ice: 50 grams per skein, so I have so far 100 grams.

Sky Scarf Day 8

Yesterday or day before, I had skipped a day. I think it's Day 8, and I still need to do today.  I'll get to it.  The other day for day 8 I did four rows of the gray (it's been raining off and on.) Tuesday we had a rainy day. I'm not sure what it's going to be today.

Happy knitting!

Day 6 and Day 7-Sky Scarf

Today is day 7 of the sky scarf, a whole week! Yesterday was day 6 but I forgot to blog.  I think I did two white rows yesterday.  Today is a bit different.  It's mostly cloudy with blue skies.  I did two rows of white, then two rows in blue.  So I did a total of four rows today.

Sky Scarf Day 5

Almost a week into the scarf, and I decided to start over with different colors, well different yarns.  I didn't like how the first one turned out.This time I'm using not puffy white yarn, but just regular white yarn, then a dark gray, and a light blue.  I'm not sure if I'm going to use Knit Picks in the Jay color way for when it rains, we'll see. I think I might.  Instead of doing two inches, I'm doing two rows.  That way it'll give me something to look forward to.

Happy knitting!

Sky Scarf Day 4

It's Day 4 already for the Sky Scarf! It's bright and sunny again.  Like I said before, it's suppose to be in the 70's and 80's this week.  I knitted only two rows that may or may not turn into two inches later today.  I knitted with turquoise since the sky is very blue today. : ).

Photos of washcloths coming soon!

Sky Scarf Project 2012

I found this project I think last year and wanted to start this in January, however I just started the project today! The Sky Scarf is a scarf that you create by watching the weather.  Like, you'll knit with blue if the sky is blue, depending on the weather.

Day 1: Today is cloudy, I found some white 'puffy' yarn for cloudy-homespun yarn.

Can you guess, washcloths!


Here's to another post with two more washcloths, I have another one on the needles. I think I have four more to go but not sure.

Hello! I'm doing more washcloths for Knitabull's (Diane) podcast KAL. I done some for Mother's Day, more are coming soon. I'm also working on Ellen's washcloth for Ellen DeGenerious (can't spell her last name, sorry!) I'm on row 45 for the washcloth. I absolutely love washcloths, very addicting and fast satisfaction.

Happy weekend! Sorry no photos this time, hopefully will get the black washcloth photoshoot done soon.

DADA HPKCHC Homework

DADA Homework 
Option 3: Harry kept his sneakoscope in one of Uncle Vernon’s manky old socks. Make a more pleasant container for your sneakoscope. If you want to keep yours in a sock, remember the rules about socks and mittens and other things that come in pairs (you must turn in two of them)
