I totally just picked up knitting needles again. My grandmother taught me sometime between 3rd and 5th grade, but I never thought anything knitted could be modern-beautiful. Until I picked up the needles to start making some newborn hats and found some great books and
Ravelry (which is kind of like a cross between Pinterest and blogging and a pattern library). Plus knitting is a craft which I can do while feeding boy and reading blogs... which isn't something I can do with sewing or quilting.
Knit myself a pair of handwarmers. Typing at a computer, knitting, and sewing equals lots of cold hands :) (and after mine are finished it looks like I'm knitting two more pair for the girls who are obsessed with mine!)Knit myself this funky Coif pattern. Pretty and perfect for ponytail and updo days. (I love it!)
- Make some knitted baskets. I have two different patterns. One that will use yarn from sweaters I've unraveled and one that I really like that uses cut up thrift-ed sheets as yarn!
- Make 2 Monica Tanks for the girls from yarn unraveled from sweaters my grandmother made that are now too small.
Make 1 Miette Sweater for me from yarn thrifted from a sweater that my grandma made me that I didn't love
- Attempt this Shalom sweater with some yarn I won during a giveaway.
- Knit some hats for my photography business and some to give away to the NICU. I did a couple last month with yarn I already had and can probably do a few more pretty quickly.
- Make Cupcakes with the scraps to give away (or keep) at the girl's tea party.
- Consider attempting these tights for the girls for Fall. This is the only project I would have to buy yarn for!
- Consider Knitting these legwarmers/leggings for me (also would have to buy yarn for these).
