Today's Knitting

I have to admit, yes, I had to tink all the knitting from Knit Night Out. We did have a great time! Every time I try to knit something at Knit Group that I have to pay attention to; I wind up tinking it when I get home! I thought I had dropped a purl st, but hadn't. Looking for that stitch, I found I had omitted one tiny part of the pattern to be done at the same time you pick up gusset stitches. I have tinked and knitted back to where I was. Note to myself - always take something that is truly mindless knitting to Knit Group - I know I can't knit and talk at the same time! (I will be knitting baby socks at Knit Group for the next few weeks)



This is the Cascade Fixation that Pam loves. She wants me to knit a baby sweater to match the socks. I don't have enough; so Internet shopping I go hoping to find this color. It is a great color for baby boy knitting and being cotton, it is great for the time of year Jaden will arrive.


These are Alexis' fingerless gloves! I have stopped on the socks and picked these up to knit her fingers. It looks like we are going to get some really cold weather for Lake Charles. I mean really cold - highs in the 40s! We don't see that very often at all! She is going to need her gloves. I also knit a cute beret to match. I don't think she will wear the beret but you never know. :) I will try and get a pic of her wearing her gloves.

I have had several requests for the pattern for the baby socks in Fixation. I will post it here in the next couple of days.

When the weather turns cold, I will take a pic of Tugley in his hoodie I knitted for him last year! :)

The baby socks are sooo cute. I'm going to be an aunt later this year, so I'm planning baby items to make. I never thought to use Fixation for baby socks. I'll have to give that one a try. Thanks for the great idea.

The socks are ADORABLE. Almost makes me want another one so I can knit socks for it - ALMOST. Love the yarn. Am going to have to try that one myself.

You're baby socks are beautiful. Sooo cute! And you say they're mindless? I'll be watching for THAT pattern, ha!

Love the socks!

I'm also glad to find someone who can't talk and knit something complicated without having to tear it out later ...

I love your work. It's all so beautiful! I look forward to having my knitting look so expertly as yours-until that day, the journey sure is fun!

Oh, I meant to tell you-thanks for the comment on my blog... If you love Texas as much as I do, then you'll know how much I miss being there. I ended up here because of my DH's j.o.b. It's not as bad as I thought! Actually, I think it's warmer here today than my hometown. Thanks again for the comment.
