Hearts Mittens for Valentines Day!

I designed a cute mitten with hearts and thought today would be a good day to show you all that one:) I have knit so many mittens in the last few weeks. Boy it is fun! Happy Valentines Day, Trish

Misadventures in Mittens!

So I have gone Mitten Crazy and am planning on an e-book I think???? Or maybe just a bunch of cool mitten patterns, not sure yet. What do you all think????? Anyway I seem to be knitting a lot of mittens to rip out a lot of mittens, to retool a chart, to knit again, to rip again. Boy this is a lot of work. Good thing I love to knit.

Oh yes and this mitten came out and was knit again and came out again and will be knit again tomorrow! Some sort of crazy mitten fever is going around here:) Happy Adventures, Trish

There might be some mittening going on around here!

So for a few weeks now I have been playing with mitten design. Oh the ideas are floating around my brain! I have 7 designs so far. How many more will there be????? Here is a picture of the first one that didn't make the cut! But the hubby is enjoying wearing it never the less!

Sorry about the crappy picture. One of the main reasons I have not been blogging much is that I lost my camera charger in July and I have only been able to take pictures with my sons cell phone! Yuck! Happy Adventures, Trish

Sandrey's Sweater

So three out of the four boys in my life received sweaters for Christmas. Now the Daddy's isn't quite done but that is okay! He can wait. Anyway this is Sandrey's sweater. It was knit with Spud and Chloe Sweater. It is such a nice yarn. It feels like cotton but knits like wool and it washes really nicely. I bought the yarn at the Knitting Bee of course and the shop has lots of nice colors in stock.

Finally!

I finally finished my log cabin! I love this blanket in sooooo many ways. The Malabrigo Worsted knit up so beautifully. I am doing the happy dance!

Cody's Christmas

So my son has a few really cool fencing coaches and every year I make them each a present. This year Cody is back and I made his big feet some socks! Cody is an Olympic epee fencer and he grew up right here in our neck of the woods. He was Gregory's first coach on his very first day of fencing. So I thought socks in club colors would be just perfect!

Sorry about the crappy photo I had to use my boys cell phone to take it! Happy Adventures, Trish

My latest design!

I designed this hat to teach a fair isle class at The Knitting Bee. It is knit with very soft Manos Maxima and Noro Kureyon for the contrast. The Noro changes colors as it goes creating a muli colored fair isle with only two yarns. It is commonly referred to as fake isle. I really like how this hat turned out and am looking forward to teaching two handed fair isle at the Bee!
