Pinwheel Baby Blanket

This is the start of a Pinwheel Baby Blanket for my cousin Sarah who is due in August. We don't know if it's a boy or girl, but I can always add some pink in the border. I took this pic just before I moved it on to circs - omg was I happy to get off of dpns, although not bad for my first time.
The yarn is Bernat Baby Boucle in Spring Breeze.

Oddball Shawl

Here's my part of an Oddball Shawl going around KnittingHelp.com.
I used Lion Brand Micro-spun in Lilac. I really forgot how much a pain this yarn is to work with until I started with it again. Oh well, I always love the end result of it.

New Yarn/Swatch

Araucania Yarns' "Quellon" was onsale for half-price, so I had to buy some! It is a heavy worsted, 82% viscose (rayon) and 18% cotton, hand painted chenille yarn.



Here's a swatch for the Farmer's Market Bag. It's Patons Classic Merino Wool in Rosewood.

Old Finished Objects

Although there are plenty of beginner scarves that I never took pics of, here are the other finished projects in the lastt year and a half since I taught myself how to knit:




Here's the Soft as Snow Diagonal Baby Blanket made with Lion Brand Pound of Love. An easy pattern which knit up quickly for a former roommate's second baby boy.

Here's the Big Bad Baby Blanket from Stitch 'N Bitch. I made it with two strands of Lion Brand Micro-Spun (White and Blue). This was for my childhood bestfriend who just had her first baby. I love this pattern!

After knitting a pair of fingerless mittens in angora for myself, my boyfriend decided they would "be perfect" for his mom and sister. So just a few days before Christmas, I quickly knitted up three pairs of these (a third pair in red for my mom) in Lion Brand Wool-Ease.

Caps to the Capital: a charity knitting event across the US. Unfortunately, I had too many holiday projects to finish so I could only knit of three of these.
