The rest of my Christmas knitting...
I actually knit these socks for my sister. Her birthday is December 21st. This is the Broadripple
sock pattern that I have used in the past. I used Fixation by Cascade in color no. 9490 and didn't make any changes to the pattern. My sister said that she loves them and that they fit perfectly! It is such a relief when you make something for someone else and it fits!
I also made a fun gift for my sister. She loves pink and black, and loves the "pink poodle" thing. Last year she gave me a pair of pink pajamas that had poodles on them. So this year I knit her this pink poodle...
The pattern is from simple knits with a twist, a book that I received in August. I knit it with Dark Horse yarn - Fantasy. It is an acrylic yarn that is super soft. This was a fun knit, but it would help to have some experience with making things to put it together as the instructions aren't extremely specific. There are several other projects in there that have been added to my long "to do" list. There is a very cute purse that you knit out of netting that you cut into one long stip, and then accent with ribbon and fabric flowers. There is also a very cute pair of ballet type slippers knitted with double sided satin ribbon that I would love to make, but can't find the ribbon.
And for my mother, I knit these sachets from the One Skein book. This also qualifies as a project for the One Skein KAL! These were also quick and easy to knit, and my mother loved them. I used Rowan 4 ply cotton and size 3 DPNs.I think I will try to knit more of these and stash them away for quick gifts for friends.
Well, time to go back to knitting on the Ivy sweater. I've been working on the left front and had knit all the way up to the shoulder and discovered that my stitch count and measurements were off, so I frogged it back to the patterned ribbing and have started over. It's nice to have time to knit something for me without any pressure to get it down in a certain time frame.
Happy Knitting everyone!
