My newest project on the needles is this. It may have to wait to get finished as I only have one skein of the yarn I am using and I need to get at least 2 more. I wasn’t going to use this yarn for the project, but it works out better than the yarn I was going to use. I found another pattern I want to do with the other yarn:

This one is a crochet project. I will be using brushed acrylic in Navy Blue for that (as far as I know right now).

I found a yarn store 22 minutes from here in Delaware. I want to go there and feel up some more yarns soon. I hope I can either talk the Man into taking me or keeping his son with him so I can go alone and revel in the glory of fiber without being rushed.

A buddy of mine just made a scarf using this pattern. She stressed how simple it was, so I had to check it out. I only wish I had fluffier threads to do this with. Maybe another time. I am contemplating using the striping yarn to knit one of these, see how that crunchy stuff fares in knit. It worked well with Tunisian crochet. I might try my hand at my own design, since I am getting so familiar with the way the knit purl design works. I have also learned how to increase and decrease stitches. I have not crochet since I began this knitting excursion, but I miss it. I have to force myself not to just drop the needles and go back to what I know. I really want to learn and be able to help my son so we won’t both end up frustrated.

Looks like I will be getting an invite tomorrow or the next day. The list behind me has grown tremendously. I can barely contain my glee.

In other news, I have completed a few projects and would like to share them. One of them I am not so sure about. I mean, I like it, but I don’t love it. The other project I love, but it takes a lot of yarn. *in that order I shall show them to you*:

I adore the snowflake. I really would love ot make smaller ornaments with that design. I can also see it in a wintry afghan or shawl of some sort. I would have to break down and buy a pure white or almost white color yarn. I don’t like those as they tend to dirty quickly. I hate having something look dingy five minutes after you finish it. I love the grey that I have, but I would need the lighter one to do the type of thing I am wanting to do.
