Green Hearth Knits

2007-05-09T19:37:00.000-07:00

I finally finished my vibrant green caplet I've been working on. It is seen here on its lovely recipient. It was a surprise gift and she was amply surprised. I am glad the color suited her skin tones and hair (it made me look washed out) because I fished it out online especially for her. It worked out great.......

My Big Cat Named Whiskey and My Old New Blanket

2007-05-02T12:30:00.000-07:00

I thought I would continue the cat theme since my other cat decided to make an example of himself as well. Over the years I have been working on a blanket I will probably finish when I'm 50. When I am between projects I get rid of my scraps by knitting blocks I later sew together. It's been five years now and I started the sewing process yesterday. I have many more to knit yet, but I've got a good start!!

Almost Done My Latest Caplet (Poncho)

My cat knows how to appreciate my knitting. I have had soaking wet sweaters that I am blocking or laying flat to dry, and covered with a thin layer of towels, and my cats who hate water, love wool. They will lie on it wet or dry. This is a cotton caplet I've been working on. It's been temporarily inhabited by Baby, my lovely cat.

Some crazy damn yarn and a crazy damn project. I have a friend you can pull these colors off, so this is my next and hopefully last poncho for a while. She doesn't know I am making it for her, I hope the color doesn't surprise her into hiding it in her closet. Yikes......It's a creative challenge and she's the sort that looks good in any color.

Up close and personal......with the lime and leaf.

A start. I had to undo a bunch of it today, so this is before the unraveling. But you can sort of get an idea what it is going to look like.

For My Sister

2007-04-11T21:11:00.000-07:00

I recently finished another poncho in Chilean Cotton. I made all my previous poncho's with wool but my sister is allergic to it. So here it is. Unfortunately for me, she lives out west, so I am modeling it for her !!

This is two of my very best of best friends. I am very happy to brag they met through me, and will be getting married. I knit both of the hats they are wearing as gifts for them in the past. They both happened to be wearing theirs today so I thought I'd throw up a pic (LOL).

This is a Poncho I knit the fall before last. My mother is seen here wearing it. As a result of knitting it every woman in my family wanted one and since then I have knit 7 of them all together and I am on my 8th. Yikes.

This is a gift I created especially for a friend for Xmas. She is seen here wearing it!!

This is me in a hat I made for myself in the fall! I am usually knitting for other people so this was quite an occasion for me.
