Our little knitting group

AAWWWW….what an adorable bunch of knitters. From right to left….me, Lucy, Paula and Dee. We all work together! Lucy and Paula are sisters and have been knitting since they were little kids, and we just taught Dee and she took to it like a fish to water! We knit a lot at work (yes, i love my job) and we are going to try to meet at least once a month to knit together….stitch and bitch if you will…and right now we are all working on making hats for cancer kids. Well, THEY are working on the cancer hats….I am procrastinating and making knitted Christmas presents as fast as my little hands will go. But i need to get my butt moving on that and make at least one special hat for someone who will really need it.

The very first scarf I ever made


It was just a garter stitch scarf that i was so proud of i adorned it with beads along the bottom. It’s not particularly warm seeing as how i used size 13 needles on it and it’s very “lacy” as a result. 

       
                   
Next i tackled a couple of bibs for a baby shower gift. They too were just garter stitch….super easy pattern i found online.
 
                                                               Then came a blue bib for Little Boo’s friend, Cooper. This one came out better and was so soft…i can’t remember what yarn i used though. 

3 hats

These 3 hats i knitted for my step-nephews. The pattern is sooo easy….just K2, P2 the whole way until the last 2 rows and then i K2tog for those 2 rows, pull in the top and sew up the edge. Voila! A hat! I got the pattern from groovy-mom.com. Thanks Groovy Mom!
The other picture is of me and Little Boo wearing the hats…well, he’s wearing the green one meant for one of my nephews, and i’m wearing the one i made for my older sister. Hers is actually my favorite and i really need to get these hats in the mail before i decide to keep them all! (My husband is hatless, as you can see, because i am so busy knitting things for other people that i neglect us!)
