I have just finished knitting a new scarf, hat, mittens & head band. I can't wait to try them all out. I have been wearing the scarf for a couple of weeks now but I just finished the rest of the ensemble. My bf Neen gave me some great yarn for Christmas and it has been great for these projects.
The hat has ear flaps to keep my ears warm during skiing or skating. I lined the ear flaps with red fleece. It's tres stylish. The ear flaps can be tied up to create that every sexy Elmer Fudd look.
I made the mittens out of red fleece with a knitted cuff. I actually broke out the sewing machine to sew the fleece part. I'm kind of scary with a sewing machine. I'm just glad I didn't sew my fingers together. Even my brother Kyle did better them me in the sewing part of Home Ec. His drawstring bag actually closed. I sewed the channel for the string shut in several locations.
I also made a head band from a pattern found at www.knitty.com. Both Jody and Carla, Friday Knitting Buddies, made one. After seeing theirs I had to attempt it too. It looks pretty good and if my head was slightly larger it would fit better. I am trying to shrink it a little now. We'll see how that turns out.
I think now I'm going to work on some socks that have been in progress for quite some time. It would be nice to get those done.
Anyway, I'll have some quality knitting time tomorrow at the "Knit In".
Oh yeah, I have been looking for jobs too. I had an interview Jan. 15. It went ok but I didn't get the job. Oh well, there will be others. I have been sending out lots of resumes so hopefully something will come up soon. Until then I'll keep busy with my knitting.
