Cables

This was my first attempt at cables. Why did I wait so long. Knitting this cable scarf was so easy. The pattern I used was from Ravelry it's a reversible cable scarf called Palindrome. Love it. This scarf will go to charity. My next project will be the Palindrome Hat, also for charity.

The yarn used was acrylic from the Purple Lady stash. Red Heart Premier color 132 Purple Heather. I used size 8 needles.

I will definitely knit this pattern again, although next time I will use more of a wool blend.

New Blog

Once again I started a new blog. I had a problem with my Google account so I created a new blog. I had just one entry on the blog so no big deal. Here is the link to my original before the one with just one entry.

Here is the entry dated Feb 21, 2011

Well the baby shower was a success. Mommy and daddy received lots of really neat stuff for baby boy. The mommy is my boyfriend's niece. The theme of the party was mardi gras, which brought a assorted amount of characters. It was a great baby shower. Lots of good food and good people. Of course me being a knitter part of my gift was knitted items.

I knitted an baby blanket.

Very simple garter stitch blanket. The yarn was Lion Brand Pound of Love, Pastel Blue. I used size 7 needles I have to say this yarn was nice to knit with.


The other gift I knitted was The Baby Surprise Jacket, from Elizabeth Zimmerman. The yarn was Caron Simply Soft, Shadows. I used size 6 needles. 

I added little turtle buttons. I think the jacket turned out really cute.
