(My own set)
(A set I had knit for my brother's girlfriend)
During the spring and summer months I began designing and knitting several sets of fingerless gloves and some cute bath sets to get ready for a couple of small local craft fairs that my mom and I participated in during October and December. I put a few of the fingerless gloves up on my etsy page, but I didn't get any takers on them. During the fair, it was fun to see folks come out on those cold days to take a look around and share in some really great homemade soups that were served for lunch! I remember that it had snowed during the first morning of the December fair. No one was out and about until the afternoon when the town held its annual Holiday Walk. Although it was really chilly, we had a really good time meeting new friends and chatting with people in our community.
My current knitting projects include a pair of fingerless gloves, a pair of socks (Jaywalker), and a lovely warm shawl. I will probably knit a few rows on the gloves today, then photograph some yarn. I am stuck on both the socks and the shawl at the moment. I have to reglue the bamboo tips of my circular sock needles back into their metal holders before I start dropping stitches and possibly crying. For as much as I paid for them, they sure have given me a lot of trouble (spliting, slivers, and now this!) For the shawl, sadly I have run out of yarn with only eight rows to go. Eight rows! I am going to try a new (to me) knitting shop before I call the shop where I purchased the yarn (three states away) and/or message people on Ravelry. I am fairly confident that I'll be able to find someone willing to sell me some, but I am also equally confident that it will take a while to get to my little cottage. Did I mention I only have eight rows left to finish before I can block and wear this thing?! ;D
As always, happy knitting!
