Knitting a Scarf and Continuing the Sweater

Hi Friends!

I hope that you are enjoying the week so far! I have been busy with knitting, reading a novel, planning in my Happy Planner, and exercising. I started knitting with dark blue yarn yesterday to make an infinity scarf with Wool-Ease Thick and Quick yarn and I am happy with how the ribbing is looking. I am also continuing on with knitting the back piece of the sweater that I started in December which will be a year long project.
Below are some photos of my scarf in progress and my sweater in progress. I will share with you how I am doing with those in my next post which will be a Yarn Along post. I did not share a Yarn Along post yesterday unfortunately because I was still working on the sweater and reading the same book and I would like to make it more interesting for you guys and not post the same pictures over and over again. I have made more time for reading this week so I should be done Truly Madly Guilty this week (it is getting so intriguing) and be starting a new book next week.

Scarf in the making - using size 13 US needles, and using Wool-Ease Thick and Quick Yarn in the color navy.

Sweater - back piece. Using US 10 needles and Lion Brand Homespun yarn in the color "clouds".

Thank you so much for visiting my blog, and I hope that you come back again next week for another update!

 

Soft Knitted Teal Hat

Hi Friends,

I hope you are all doing well on this huge day for Americans and the world with Donald Trump being Inaugurated. I watched the footage this morning and it was hard to see the Obamas go, they have done so many good things for people over the course of Barak Obama's eight year presidency. We can only hope that good things are ahead of us as well.
I finished my hat I have been knitting using Patons Roving yarn. I loved working with this yarn it is so soft and I love the color.  I added a pom pom at the end because I thought it would really complete the hat, and it looks so cute with it I am glad that I did.  I am entering the hat in Linda's January 2017 Stash-Buster link party and I am excited to share the hat with everyone. I love entering these link ups because I can see more of what you all work on and I can share what I work on with more of you.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and I hope you have a great weekend!

 

Yarn Along Wednesday: Knitting Valentine Hearts

Hello Friends,


I hope you are having a good week so far. I have been busy finishing up my hat I have been knitting for a couple of weeks. I had to take it apart and redo the decrease since there are so many stitches (92!) I was not used to decreasing such a large amount of stitches, so I am still working on it.  I have also been knitting up hearts for Valentine's day which is coming up soon. This year I decided to knit up some Valentine hearts using a pattern I found on Mollie Makes blog. Please follow the link to find the pattern if you would like to make your own. I will be making some as coasters and I might attach two together to make pouches for candy as gifts to loved ones.

Hearts made from Craftsmart value yarn and using 6 mm needles.

This week I am still reading Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty. I have been enjoying the book so far and am looking forward to reading on and finding out what happens in the story.

I will be knitting up more hearts and will share them with you in an upcoming post! Thank you for visiting my blog and hope that you have a good week!
