So I know it's been ages, it's been busy! My baby is doing awesome, he's so smart and is learning so much every day. Right now he keeps making up his own songs... so what if they're basically all the same, they're still cute. Reindeer reindeer do do do do do, or Tractor tractor vroom vroom vroom vroom vroom. I love it. I've been knitting like crazy and have completed:
Santa hat for Jordan's niece
Christmas presents for Lacy, Jordan's dad and mom
Like 4 shawls (this year alone)
5 hats...
I'm working on two other shawls, overalls for my kiddo, and a couple other things so eventually I'll get it all done.
I've just been going crazy with stuff.
I thought of a really cute scarf pattern that I don't think I've seen anything like this anywhere. It's so simple but I'll post it here, I don't have a picture but maybe it won't matter yet.
It's like this:
cast on 25 and Knit five rows (garter stitch)
keeping first and last two stitches in garter stitch through out and purling the rest on wrong side rows.
RS rows: K3, (yo, K2tog) to last 2 K2
Keep repeating the RS and WS rows until desired length or almost out of yarn and Knit 5 rows then bind off. Weave in ends and block if desired.
The end result is a pretty almost slanting eyelet pattern. It can be worked in any weight on any needles. I don't know how much yarn you'll need because it'll depend on length and weight and all that but since it's so easy I though I'd share it.
I've been thinking about opening an etsy shop to sell some stitch markers and other things (hats and stuff) but it's still in thought process right now. Life has been pretty okay though in general and my knitting is coming along fine. I haven't been able to go to any of the guild meetings because the timing and everything that's been happening. I hope everyone is doing okay! I'll try and keep updating, sometimes I just forget I have a blog.
