I've started knitting a blanket for the baby.

Peter is busy knitting. Yarn bombers, scarves and hats are being knitted. All of this goes to his best friend Scout and his sweet princess Rosie in Australia.

OLEG:

You've been knitting for two days now Peter. Isn't it time to take a break?

PETER:

I need to knit...knit...knit. It has to be ready before it turns winter in Australia. I don't want my friends to get cold.

I'm almost done with the hats.

A little later:

Look Oleg...Tada...finished the hats!!!

Oleg wakes up from his afternoon nap

OLEG: (yawns)

Oh...Peter...that looks beautiful!

PETER:

The red white and blue hat with the Dutch clog is for my very best friend Scout and the pink hat with diamond is for my very dear princess Rosie!

OLEG:

The red white blue colour is the colour of the Dutch flag. What a great idea. The hat with the diamond will look very nice on your princess Rosie

I'm so proud of you Peter!

PETER:

Thank you Oleg

A pink blush appears on Peter's cheeks

Fingerless gloves, or "wristlets", designed by me. Knit in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino.

Blogged

The pieces felted up really well.... they're quite thick and ridged... probably because it's garter stitch and not stockinette.... so my teacher tells me. I love them!

Thanks for the guidance, Steph! :)

All done. Ain't she purdy?

Pattern: Birch, Rowan 34

Yarn: ArtFibers Tsuki (1+ balls), color 6

Started: August 6, 2005

Finished: August 16, 2005

Blocked: August 18, 2005

Thoughts: I loved the pattern, really easy to memorize. It definitely helps to practice on an "easy" yarn to get the hang of it and to see how it develops. I must say though, the first few pattern repeats were so torturous because there were so many stitches and you couldn't really see what was happening. But once I got to the 3rd or 4th repeat, I was addicted!

I spun some more yarn... this time with small shells!

First I dyed some white roving into beachy colors using commercial food coloring I bought at Smart and Final.

Then I spun up the yarn starting with with the sand colors and progressed to the sea and sky so when it is knit or crocheted, it should make somewhat of a landscape.

I plied the yarn with holographic metallic thread that I had strung with small shells I got in Hawaii recently. (That took a LONG time!)

I'm really happy with the results! the stats: 80 yards, 3.5 oz.

Makes me want to go back to Hawaii though!

This is one of my favourite knits ever.

Knitting is a fun activity. Many people learn to knit when they are still young. Although it looks like something you can only do with sight, that's not the case. Many blind people knit, too. In fact, a lot of people learn to knit only after they have lost their sight. I learnt to knit when I was 4 or 5 years old. Now, I'm re-learning it blind. It's not that difficult, but I do have to be careful so that I don't do any mistakes.

I have done a lot of knitting this past winter. This is one of the things tha I have kept for myself. It is a very warm large cowl or small poncho. The pattern came from a Ravelry contact, Jane Thorney (sp?).

The handknit sweaters are piling up and diving off the shelves. Trying to make room :)

Realizing that I've knit seven of these this year! Hooray!

I just finished knitting my first sock ever (started last night)! I've had the yarn and pattern sitting around for probably 2.5-3 years but hadn't made them yet. I made a sock knitting bag the other day just because I thought the pattern was pretty and figured I should probably start some socks to go in it!

This sock is super wooly and warm and I love it!
