My Projects: Knit and Crochet Project Update

You may remember my excitement a short while back with all of the new knitting projects I had on my list. Here is an update on my progress!



Here is the Roar Hat(s) I am knitting for my for my nephews. The one above is nearly finished. I just have to attach the spikes. Liam is going to love this! 


I was highly ambitious this year in deciding to make two of these, the second for Liam's brother Ryan. Here is Ryan's. It looks like I will get these finished in time for Christmas!! I was really worried about that. The pattern was fully knitting but I decided to crochet the spikes. It was easier and they have more structure. I can't wait to show you what these hats look like finished. I can't wait to see that myself! 


To keep my hand in crochet mode as well, I have hooked these little fingerless gloves. Almost done, I just need to make one more bow, attach them on and weave in the ends! These will soon be for sale in my Cocktails at the Cabin section of my Etsy shop; The Sparkling Cocktail


And here is the Morning Glory scarf. Inching along! It's a simple 2x2 knit/purl in the prettiest purple tweed! It's a great project for when I'm too tired to think or want to knit on the subway. Do you knit on the train or while waiting for an appointment?

The baby blanket you ask? I haven't started that one yet. Although I am learning to balance more than one project at a time. I used to not start a new project until one was finished. Now as you can see, I am juggling and it feels a lot more productive! Are you a one project at a timer? Or do you juggle? 

Stay tuned for finished projects!

My Projects: Let the Knitting (and crochet) Begin!

 Look at my new stash of yarn!! The air has turned crisp and I have a lot of catching up to do on all my knitting and crochet projects. Lately, this is all I have felt like doing. 

 I started this easy ribbed scarf as a way to switch my mind from crochet to knitting. I did a lot of crochet over the summer and then when I want to switch to knitting, I think I have forgotten how. This is a great warm up! I am calling it the Morning Glory Scarf as that is the name of this wonderful purple tweed. This is also a great pattern to do when I am tired and I don't want to follow a pattern. 
Do you knit and crochet? Or do you prefer just one or the other? 


After warming up by starting the scarf, I then started the Roar Hat. This is a gift for my nephew and the first time I have knitted on circular needles. I'm still a novice so who knows how long this will take me but I would like to get 2 done for Christmas presents. Wish me luck! 


These are a finished project from the summer that I don't think I shared with you. These are crocheted fingerless gloves and I love making these. After I get proper photos, they will be listed for sale in my Etsy shop! Stay tuned!
