Finished another project!

I finished the Braided Candle Wax Mittens!!!!  They turned out really well and I love the pattern.  I made them out of Dream in Color Classy Blue Lagoon.  I love this yarn.  It is my new favorite superwash yarn.  I am going to have to order some online.  It is a bit expensive but I think its worth it!  Here is a pic of my newly finished mittens!

Now I need to find a new project.  I was thinking a present for my cousins kids.  They just had a little boy and I was thinking of a cute little vest for him.  I am waiting on some new Knitpicks yarn to come in.  Decided to try their Wool of the Andes, Comfy fingering weight, and Simply Cotton.  I don't use a whole lot of cotton yarn but I decided to try those ones out!

Inability to read patterns

I have an inability to read instructions . . . had to rip out my Star Crossed Slouchy Beret because i didn't read the decreasing instructions right.  I could have ripped back to start over but I am not very good at that. Oh well I will try it again another time.  Can't wait to start something new now that I am running low on projects.  Only 4 on the needles right now!!!!  Maybe I will try a vest for my cousins new baby boy!

I want a cat

But my husband is allergic . . . . oh well guess I will have to settle for my dog . . . . she is pretty cute though. 

She even likes my knitting!

Anyways this brought me to my main thought.  I want to knit a dog sweater for Ellie!  She gets pretty cold in the winter and it will probably take me that long to finish it so I had better get started.  Haven't found anything I really like though so I might design my own.  I am thinking of adding some cables to one of the plain ones.

Finished Ryker's Car

Finally finished Ryker's car!  Ryker is my nephew and he has been asking for a knitted car for a long time! I made it for his birthday and he really liked it!  Here is a picture!

Addicted to Cascade 220

I love wool yarn.  Have since I discovered a local yarn store (thanks to my MIL).  My first purchase was Cascade 220 and I still use it.  I love the way it feels when I knit it.  It is so sturdy and has such great stitch definition.  I love wearing it too.  I am making my first sweater out of it right now and it is being made out of that first yarn purchase.  I can't wait until its done!
