Another one

Here are a couple knit flower headbands that I've been knitting. See, I told you I have more things planned for those flowers. (Thanks for the tips Allison on making the pictures bigger!)  Also, I'm well aware that I need to cut my bangs, but I'm still deciding on whether I want to grow them out, thin them out, or just keep them the way I've had them. What do you think?

Update

I'm planning a shop update soon. I felt like making some new jewelry and here's what I've come up with so far.

Remember those flowers I knitted? Here they are. I have other plans for them as well.

And as promised, more pictures of myself. "Hello" to my kids in the future when they see this. Anyone know how to take a good self portrait? Maybe I should set up the tripod next time instead of taking them in my dirty mirror?


I love these flocked beads! I think they look so cool with the knit flowers.

Knitting dish rags and flowers

I finished three new dish rags and made some flowers for a new project that I'll show you tomorrow. Knitting is so fun!

Knit Headband

Here's one:I love how making these lets me practice my stitches. I love the texture they all have!

Forgot to post this

The scarf is done. I've been knitting some cute little headbands lately. My cousin just had a baby shower and I made three of them for her. I forgot to take pictures of them before I wrapped them up and gave them to her. I've been really sick for the past few days, so if can ever get around to taking pictures of the new ones I've done I'll show you.

On the Needles

I learned to cast on a week ago and I've pretty sure I've found a new obsession. Why did I wait so long to learn to knit? It's awesome. Very relaxing and you can't beat how portable it is! I can do it in the car while I'm waiting to pick up my kids, I can do it in bed while watching TV. I can do a row here and there when I need to take a break for a minute. It's so fun! I had a pretty rocky start. I decided that I would just knit a skein without "making" anything just to practice because I knew if I said I was making a dishcloth or a scarf when I was just learning the basic stitch and it didn't turn out, I'd give up and say, I can't knit. But since it was just practice I didn't care when I dropped a stitch or pick up an extra one somehow. I think I have the hang of it now. Time to learn how to purl and move on to other stitches. I'm just about finished with a scarf. I'll post pictures of it soon.
