My First Ever....Somethings

I have decided to jump on the bandwagon here, and have started a pair of shorties, or longies. I haven't decided, yet, how long I wish to make them. Maybe they will just be pedal pushers.

I actually started another pair with some yarn my gracious sister gave to me, but I was having a hard time knitting in the round on circulars. So I finished up the socks that were occupying my size 5 DPN's, grabbed a new cake of yarn and got started. When it comes to knitting in the round I think I am just stuck on using DPN's. I LOVE THEM!!!

I am using yarn from 100purewool.com. The first color is Purpura and the second is Portezuelo. I am loving this yarn! It is really soft and fluffy for 100% wool.

Andrew's Socks

I have finally finished a very late Christmas present for my nephew Andrew. Unfortunately I have two more pairs to knit for his two sisters. Oh well, Merry Christmas, Andrew!!

I knitted these socks on size 5 Lantern Moon DPN's, and the yarn is Wick from Knit One, Crochet Two, colorway #467.

Traveling Vines Dishcloth

I picked up this fabulous new yarn last week at my LYS. It's called Cascade Luna. It was very nice yarn to work with & I just love the depth of the color. I figured last night was a good time to knit it up since I'm waiting on some yarn from mamas on DS. It was a nice break & some instant gratification! The pattern I used is called Traveling Vines.

A Sisterly Dye

I went to my Sister's house this weekend so the hubs could help her hubs do some home improvement projects. So my sister & I busied ourselves with some dyeing. Well, in between child wrangling. Here's what we were able to come up with.
