Sock Saks

I have been goggling over some wonderful knitting bags and was determined to whip some up. This is one that I love and think that it will be perfect for knitting socks. I love the pocket that can hold bits and bobs. I chose two green prints that are so pretty - the fabric was from Fabric Land called Bijou Garden.
Here is a picture...enjoy.

Spring Green Baby Blanket


So this weekend I decided to change it up a bit and try something new - a baby blanket. The pattern is one that I found online and can be found here http://majorknitter.typepad.com/photos/patterns/oh_so_soft_baby_blanket.html
Here is a pic of the project so far!!

Spring - In Like a Lamb



So I decided to try to knit a toy - after seeing on that a friend had received for her wee boy. This is my first attempt - Fuzzy Mitten Lamb.

Buttons, Buttons, Buttons





Well yesterday I was able to pop into Lens Mills and found some cool buttons! Please let me know what one you like on my French Press Slippers.

French Press Felted Slippers






Okay I have to tell you I was a wee bit worried about making these slippers, but they were awesome and the pattern is easy peasy to follow! They are quick, and felt up amazingly!! My overall review is that they are wonderful. Here is a few photos but I will post once they are dried and the strap and button are sewn on.

Let the Games Begin

So two fellow knitters have challenged themselves to 12 Elizabeth Zimmerman projects – and I think that I may join them!! This will be a huge challenge for me because I seem to have fallen into the “can not finish a project” category which is becoming a pain in the butt. I am narrowing down my projects and have ordered some books from our library but so far my ideas are:

1. Mitred Mittens
2. February Baby Sweater
3. Norway Mittens – you can never have to many mittens
4. April – Mystery Blanket
5. Moccasin Socks

So this is just the first working list that I have created – I do want to add a sweater but will wait to see the other patterns. N and Kat I think that you may have inspired another knitter as well but I will wait until she blogs before I let the cat out of the bag. Maybe we will have to have EZ knitting knights – any reason to visit and knit are great! Let the games begin!
Happy knitting,
Shelaine
