Evening Creativity

I got bored tonight. Not in the mood for starting a new project but yet I can't NOT KNIT!! ;) Sooo, I sat down with some remnant yarn and started goofing around with it. After a couple of hours I came up with several stitch patterns I actually liked, this one being my favorite, so far. ;) What do you think it...be completely honest now!!


....I think I am going to try this on larger needles yet...this is on sz 8.....if I go bigger obviously the lace work will be easier to see.

Knit Baby Blanket

My forever work in progress. I LOVE this pattern but have been at this blanket for months, mainly because I do not have immediate need of it so I'm taking it slow...it's my go to project when I am "between" projects. As you can see, I did screw up the bottom few rows and realized it too little too late but, oh well. That's a beginner for ya! ;) I got this pattern off of http://www.ravelry.com/, thanks to Yarn Lover's Room for the pattern. http://www.knitting-crochet.com/babbla.html.

Indian Summer Headband

So, here I am with another headband. And this one was such a quick, fun knit up! I LOVE the way it turned out!! :D Instructions as follows: Using Sz. 8 straight needles and a remnant of Red Heart Eco-Cotton in Linen Marl I cast on 11 stitches and knit the entire thing in the Turkish stitch, also known as the Lace Like stitch.
Actually, I used a variation of the Turkish stitch: Row 1: K1 *YO,K2tog...repeat from * to end of row
Repeat row 1 for entire desired length of headband.
Bind off.
Sew ends together.
Glue on a large fake flower or other fun *girlie* things

Regular Turkish stitch would be to cast on any even number of stitches so that you can K the first stitch and K the last stitch. There are 3 or 4 variations of this Lace Like/Turkish stitch. I learned this stitch from Knitting Tips by Judy off of youtube.

On a side note, I knit this headband to 15 inches as it has A LOT of stretch. My daughter wearing it is 8 1/2 but this headband even fits me with all the stretch so be sure to make it smaller than you think you should to avoid sagging or loose fit.
