Just Another Scarf & Mitts

I was visiting my mom the end of June...she hasn't knitted in years and wanted a project to work on that she could pick up and go without a lot of brain work. A scarf...very easy. 16" x 72". When I came home from the visit I decided to go and get some scrappy worsed yarn and knit it along with her - compare notes, that kind of thing. Well I finished my scarf a couple of weeks after that and she still has only 8" into hers...I used the left overs and made mitts.

Afghans

Afghans, and more afghans. Actually I have completed just these two. I have one in the basket...maybe I will find inspiration and energy to complete it. This one that is pictured I loved the pattern so much that I did the alpaca and mohair natural one, just like it.

Fun Spirals

Easy, fast and fun!

Kimono Sweater

Yesterday, I just had to finish my blue kimono sweater. I was down to the last part, the collar. Got it all finished, sewed up and ends woven in. Tried it on...seemed just a tad too large, which I knew was going to be the problem from the get go. The sample sweater in the yarn store showed it blocked and it looked okay that way...so I thought I should too. Boy, was I wrong. After pressing and steaming, my sweater grew way too big. Okay I thought, was that a mistake. I promptly got out the spray bottle of water and dampened the entire thing then threw it in to the dryer on low for about 20 minutes. It came out perfect!!! I will be taking a picture of my project soon and adding it to this post. I can't wait to wear it!!!
