Rainy Days.. & North Carolina!

So I LOVE rainy days as I probably mentioned in a couple of blog posts before. They give me the inspiration to knit (and of course I actually had not knitted yet-or gone on to Raverly... shocking I know). Yesterday I'm almost coming to the finishing point of my hat, and so I may bind off later today (if I have enough time.) Also yesterday I casted on a sock so that I could have something to do tomorrow at the airport-I'm going to NORTH CAROLINA! Yes, I can't be even more excited than I am, haha. There may be some posting and such (whenever I get a chance to get on the computer..)

Anyways I'm going to knit,

Double Pointed Needles to Circulars..

Well yesterday morning I tried knitting the Disney Hat on double pointed needles size 7. However, it was a little difficult and time consuming on double pointed needles than to do it on bamboo circulars. I try to do most of my work on circulars when I can, since it doesn't hurt my hands so much and it's an easy portable project (another reason I love knitting socks). This hat is actually going much faster and easier, plus a lot more fun than double pointed needles. Yes-I am taking a little break from socks (maybe until tonight.. haha). I'm still doing the same colors for the hat as I originally planned (same design on the hat too). So nothing really has changed except the double pointed needles. I'd rather save the double pointed needles for socks.

Happy Knitting!

Double Pointed Needles..

Now that I finished the Honeysuckle socks last night (late last night!) I feel like I can breathe now.. and cast on new projects. I actually forgotten how much I love casting on projects haha. So as I'm typing now I've started on a hat (this may be a test knit..) for myself as I talked about my projects last night. After I get to a good place (most likely after doing a color jog for the pink) I'll start on the flower. I'm guessing the flower will be after lunch. The hat I'm doing now has a green brim, knitted on double pointed needles (size 7), and the body is pink. It's actually going well so far.. and I'm slightly designing this. Photos will come as the hat goes along (I'm just completing the first round now and listening to podcasts..)

Happy Knitting!

Honeysuckle Socks binded OFF!

Yippee!!! Yes, my Honeysuckle Socks are finished! Click on the link on my Raverly page to see them!! A photo of them will be posted tomorrow (I'm about to go to bed). I've spent most of the day working on them and trying to free up my knitting needles. In my last post I had knitting attacks such as my knitting needles slid off (I got frustrated!) But FINALLY these socks are now binded off-and I'm WEARING them!! I'm so excited about them... and yes I can't wait to start on another pair. I'm thinking of always having a sock on the double points.. after I edit a picture of my socks I'm going night night!

I do have projects planned for tomorrow! I have two secret knittings (gifts..) But I'm doing:

1.) A flower
2.) Possibly a hat for myself (that I am designing..) but I think the brim is going to be a bright green and then the body a bright pink (both neon). I'm going to knit the hat for springy and summer weather! I am also considering knitting them on double pointed needles (I can't get away from the double pointed knitting needles!)

Anyways Happy knittings!

Tinking day..

So this is the first blog post for today! So far it's been an 'okay' day and hoping it'll get better.. I'm hoping to be almost done with my second sock-however I did have a little knitting mishap unfortunately. I hoped I fixed it so far-however the needle just slid out of my stitches.. so basically I dropped all my stitches from a needle. I wasn't very happy about that-but I hope I actually did fix it (we'll see..) then I tinked a little bit on the Whipple Waves blanket I've been working on.. though I do still need to tink a few rows again on that. (I only just tinked once..) So before I tinked my row on the Whipple Waves blanket-I tried to roll up two balls of yarn however they got really tangled (I wasn't happy then either..) so that brings me to blogging. So I'm guessing I haven't had a really good day of knitting like I hope-hopefully a better knitting night. But I've been watching some podcasts as well today.

Anyways.. that's it for now.
Happy Knitting!

Honeysuckle Socks Photo

And here it is! Honeysuckle socks photo sneakpeak.. I'm about to go and bind it off very shortly after this post.

Wintery Day, April Fools Day, and April!

Good morning!! I'm just waking up again and I woke up to snow on the ground. So I'm assuming today will be a good knitting day! Last night I got to the point of my toe decrease of the new pattern I'm trying (and I absolute love!) Photos will be coming shortly.

By the way...

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!

Happy Knittings,
