first knitted project completed

I dont know about you folks, but I like to knit just to knit. I really dont care much about having a completed project. It took me a while to actually complete something. I found my inspiration on the Carol Duvall show. They had this funky purse that only took one ball of yarn, two hoops for handles and some lining.

I made the flower with scrap yarn, probly the same yarn I used for that pink metalic yarn, with out the metalic. I found a button for the center of the flower.



After some extra practrice and watching knitty gritty I made this purse. Same pattern but with beads

Incredible yarn

I love this yarn it reminds me of ribbon.

Here are two scarfs I made out of and a small purse. There is a scarf that matches the purse but I do not know where Kathryn hid it. Probably in her car. The bottomless pit that it will never be seen again.

Blue Scarf-- wider then the others I love the rich blue.




Black and white scarf Black and white my fav.


The little hand bag... I do not remember the name of the color but I love it! I want to make a wrap out of or the copper yarn. I have tons of that too. A lot of the incredible yarn was sold at the dollar store and every time I saw some I scooped it up. They still sell it at joannes full price. Go figure that one out. This is the one that there is a skinny scarf for but I dont have a picture for it.

love this scarf

The picture shown is when the scarf was a work in progress. It is completed now. It is so incredibly soft. I used two yarns. I think one was a jiffy yarn and one was a metallic fancy yarn.



with the flash on or is it off I do not remember, it represents the colors better I think anyway.


can you see the silver metalic????

Easter Wreath I made my mum

I made this out of a straw wreath, fabric, glue and ornaments.

I cut the fabric with pinking shears (so it wont unwravel as much) and put a dab of tacky craft glue on the wreath. Take a square of fabric and place the middle of the fabric over the glue. I took an old bent up knitting needle that I cannot use (if you dont have one try a screwdriver) and push the fabric into the wreath with the point of the knitting needle or what ever took you decide to use. Fill the whole wreath up. You dont have to fill the back of it up.

Decorate with any oraments you desire.



Here are some halloween versions


I actually sold this one at the flea market thanks to Nancy Yeah me I sold a craft!

So uninspired

I put my yarn away for quite some time. I started watercolor painting and its got my attention.

I found a new book in the libary about crochet. Maybe it will inspire me to pick up the yarn again.

I know the kitty misses it.

The dog found it under my bed. I am not happy with the dog right now.
