DW Logo Dishcloth

Finished this up last night. Not blocked yet. Pattern at: http://www.irishlace.net/knitting/dwlogo-washcloth.html

Only took me 9 days to complete thanks to an insane work schedule.

Happy St Patrick's Day

Whipped these up this week for the ladies I work with. Got the pattern at: knottygeneration.blogspot.com/2008/03/happy-st-patricks-day.html Only took about 15 minutes for each one. Worked the 2nd and 1/2 of the 3rd petals on the back bar of a lapel pin. (Easier than having to glue or sew them.)

New Toy!

While I was in the big city earlier this week, I just couldn't resist stopping in Michaels and look what I found on sale for $3! I've always loved the look of hairpin lace and now I can learn it. So far its kinda awkward but with a lot of patience and little help from the tutorial I found, I'm beginning to make some progress. The tutorial I'm using can be found at: www.stitchdiva.com/tutorials/hairpin-lace Best one I've found so far.

Done!

The set is finally all done. Just in time too. The baby shower is in 9 hours. Talk about burning the midnight oil lol.

Well, I had the hat over halfway done. I tried to pull it out of my crafty bag and proceeded to pull one of the needles out of the work in progress. Arrrgh! So now I get to start completely over again. Lovely.

4 Down, 1 To Go

Only the hat left and I'm all down with set #3. For the booties, I used size 6/4.00 mm knitting needles to achieve the smallest size. The next pair I make, I think I'm going to make the cuff the solid coordinating color to help tie the pieces together a little better. (Which will be happening soon, just found out another friend is pregnant.)
