ok, so i re-did the blanket. it was just too heavy. here it is now.

this is to show the stitch pattern


this is to show the size. that is a regular guitar case beside it. it wasn't supposed to be that big, but i got carried away appearantly

the colors are navy, sage, and cream. i just noticed you can't see the navy in the pics. it looks black.

Very pretty Jiffy.

Here are some hats that I have knitted so far. There are 2 more that I have made but they are being worn right now.



I see that I cute one off a bit and the colors didn't show up the best. The bottom right hat is a heather brown and it is the hat that I made in the class that I took. That was my first ever knitting project.

Oooo, I love your hats Jess! You did a very nice job!

And I love those colors together Jiffy.

Thank you!

Well POO - I posted here the other day about Jiffy's pictures, and it's not here!!!!

I said... you are doing a terrific job, Jiffy, and I really like the colors you've chosen! I'm so glad that you are able to use your hands these days to make such wonderful keepsakes!



Jessica - those hats are great!!! Especially for first items made!
I see that you've used different sorts of yarns, which is also a great learning experience - did you have a favorite yarn of the ones you've used so far?

And wow - you're doing cables ALREADY?!?!?!? Fantastic!

Thanks Lynne! Yeah they taught us to cable our last week of class. I am taking a mittens class in March. I don't mind any of the yarns. I like the bulky because it works up so much faster but they all are good. I got some alpaca yarn the other day and I am deciding what to make out of it. It is VERY soft!!! The hats I have done so far are wool except the baby hat. That is cotton. I used a lot of self striping yarns so far and I like them too. They are fun! I have a couple other projects going right now but I haven't seemed to get much knitting done since I got the new internet and the new computer. I will knit some today though.

Above is a flower pot I made myself at ceramics. The inside has been left bisque (fired but not painted.) The outside and the base has been glazed with a speckled paint. The pot also has a drain hole.



Above here is an oval flower pot that I made for my Daughter, Valarie, to use as a letter holder. While the outside has been done in stains, the inside has been painted with a turquoise colored glaze. The design on the outside of the pot mimics the design Valarie painted around the border of her bedroom ceiling when we lived at our old home.

Wonderful job Carol!! They are both very pretty!!

i like it all!

wowwwww Jessica I like the hats,, Boy looks like you found your niche.! I don't know anything about knitting but if Lynne is impressed your doing cables already then WOW!!

Carol I love those pots!!!!! I was trying to decided which I liked best but I like them both equally!! Very very Nice!!

Thank you!
