On My Needles

So I'm working on a matching hat for the scarf I just crocheted.  Yep, I'm knitting it... :D
Making pretty good progress!

Progress::Preemie Hat

So after purchasing a new circular needle I found out that it was still too long.  So, I've had to use four needles.  Once I got over the "oh my! how will this work?" feeling--which only took one round, I settled into it and am really enjoying this.  I'm excited about how it's turning out and can't wait to knit myself some socks or wrist warmers or gloves (something that requires knitting in the round)!

  

  

 

I think it's coming along nicely.  I'm hoping to be finished by tomorrow--if all goes as planned! :D

Knitting for a Cause Part 2

Well, I made it out to pick up some new yarn. I sat up and made balls of both the skeins I got.  I'm loving the softness and the color(s) of both.  I even treated myself to some new needles (as if I need more...shhhh don't tell the hubs).

I've looked through a few patterns and settled on a basic ribbed hat by Carissa Knits.  I need something simple to start with.  I'm also going to use circular needles instead of double-pointed ones.  They still scare me.  I really want to make some socks this year so I think I'll try them out on something that doesn't have a deadline! :D Hopefully I'll get it done by the weekend.  I'll keep you posted!

Knitting In the Round

So here are the beginning of my first hat using circular needles....I will be "working in some color" with this one as well! :)

I made it around five times without twisting it, so hopefully I'm good (meaning: hopefully I won't twist it OR, better yet, perhaps it's impossible to twist it now)!
