I am the proud recipient of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Language-Knitters-Mary-Temple/dp/0740768735/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1237308074&sr=8-1">THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF KNITTERS</a>. This little gem of a book is just a hoot to read! I can't wait to share this with my knitting/crochet/spinning group... thanks again! I also received my choice of three pattern downloads from Mary Beth's <a href="http://www.hookedforlifepublishing.com/">site</a>. So many great patterns to choose from, you really should check it out! I can't wait to cast on for the 50/50 sock :) And finally, thanks to Marly and all of the other sponsors as well...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7899703976213028073-7963214623384630726?l=holidaykalcal.blogspot.com'/></div>Melissa F. in CAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02937025560084128534noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7899703976213028073.post-70419048076766321532009-03-10T14:16:00.002-06:002009-03-10T14:16:39.163-06:00Love my ravelry pin!Thanks to CoggieTM for my ravelry pin.

I'd aimed for five but didn't make it.

And, truth be told, the damn scarf I was making my brother was too thick. I think I needed to use sport weight instead of worsted weight yarn. I'm going to be frogging that to save the yarn, I'm sure I will find other uses for it.<br /><br />It looks like I may be making my brother's fiancee's wedding veil though, which will be interesting.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3292/3141753982_989768d77d.jpg?v=0"><br />The edging detail of the shawl I made my mother.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3141753388_f165dc98dd.jpg?v=0"><br />My mom with the whole thing. She's being a little old lady going to church.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3087/3140927873_0a42130fa3.jpg?v=0"><br />The bag I made my sister. It felted up pretty well, but the yarn has a kind of fuzzy corona around it. I didn't have a sweater stone, or I would have rubbed it off.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3097/3140927545_d4a6cda5c1.jpg?v=0"><br />The little toys I made for my other sister. I love this pattern and the way it turned out. It's a quick easy knit, that makes a really fun toy.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3088/3141752630_1205405df3.jpg?v=0"><br />It can hide in the log. This yarn felted up beautifully, but the dark brown of the log felted too much. If I make this again, I'll have to figure out a way to fix this...the lining felted just the right amount, and it's knit as a single piece. I may just have to hand felt the lining the rest of the way next time.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3239/3140928329_e8bb142cf2.jpg?v=0"><br />This is the wine bottle cozy I made for my grandparents, complete with a bottle of wine. The green got really washed out in this picture, and I suck at embroidery, which is something I need to fix before I make any more of these.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3151/2970101205_703b186d1b.jpg?v=0"><br />A Dr. Who scarf for my dad. This is the only picture I have, so pretend all of those ends are woven in. And the colors are seriously screwy in this picture, so before I get any Who fans telling me how wrong I am, I promise that it looks a lot better in real life. The only color I think is a little off in real life is the blue.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7899703976213028073-6637523534913033967?l=holidaykalcal.blogspot.com'/></div>Booknitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14609675936579162999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7899703976213028073.post-71241506613385299732008-12-30T21:17:00.002-07:002008-12-30T21:20:03.495-07:00Tree of Life AfghanHello,<br />Finally finished the Tree of Life Afghan.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23030568@N02/3152788792/" title="Tree of Life Afghan by Born2knitnpurl, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3265/3152788792_1283c0b385_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Tree of Life Afghan" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23030568@N02/3151955319/" title="Tree of life afghan by Born2knitnpurl, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3217/3151955319_1af13d6735_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Tree of life afghan" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23030568@N02/3152789056/" title="tree of life afghan (closeup) by Born2knitnpurl, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3268/3152789056_3212c618cb_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="tree of life afghan (closeup)" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7899703976213028073-7124150661338529973?l=holidaykalcal.blogspot.com'/></div>Born2knitnpurlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14451997491114834238noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7899703976213028073.post-52170551761119239852008-12-30T18:23:00.002-07:002008-12-30T18:29:03.157-07:00Almost Finished<div align="center">Here are a few more finished Christmas gifts.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QAgPUbRtodk/SVrKckzaXQI/AAAAAAAABaM/MhlmHzO2jK0/s1600-h/Finished+bag.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285759704937159938" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QAgPUbRtodk/SVrKckzaXQI/AAAAAAAABaM/MhlmHzO2jK0/s320/Finished+bag.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">A purse for my sister-in-law</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QAgPUbRtodk/SVrKcGAEVhI/AAAAAAAABaE/FO-aYN1S-nk/s1600-h/Lip+balm+holders.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285759696668743186" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QAgPUbRtodk/SVrKcGAEVhI/AAAAAAAABaE/FO-aYN1S-nk/s320/Lip+balm+holders.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Lip balm holders</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QAgPUbRtodk/SVrKb57gPLI/AAAAAAAABZ8/3m47LOLtRKQ/s1600-h/Hat.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285759693428374706" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QAgPUbRtodk/SVrKb57gPLI/AAAAAAAABZ8/3m47LOLtRKQ/s320/Hat.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">A hat for my nephew</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7899703976213028073-5217055176111923985?l=holidaykalcal.blogspot.com'/></div>JENhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03415846887198235218noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7899703976213028073.post-32409830810892564512008-12-29T10:53:00.003-07:002008-12-29T11:18:07.071-07:00More finished items...Here are a few more finished gifts, with more still to come.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br />First up my first "pattern". My Pastor's daughter asked me to make a felted evening bag for her mom for Christmas. After talking about what she wanted this is what I came up with.<br /><div><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/caednkat/3143135986/" title="Felted Evening Bag by caednkat, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/3143135986_bfe80d2f3b.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Felted Evening Bag" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><br />It's Patons Wool knit on size 10 needles and then felted. The roses are crocheted in Patons Wool and then felted.<br /><div><br /></div><br />Next up a set of 3 baby hats for a friend at church. These were knit with Knit Picks Shine Sport in Willow (tan), River (blue) and Fedora (brown).<br /><div><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/caednkat/3142298753/" title="3 Simple Baby Hats by caednkat, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3255/3142298753_00a8c24aea.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="3 Simple Baby Hats" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><br />Some stocking ornaments for a ornament swap I was involved in. I used the <a href="http://jeangreenhowe.com/patterns.html">Mini Christmas Ornament</a> pattern by Jean Greenhowe. I think I knit these on size 6 needles. They are knit flat and go so fast! I plan to make a whole bunch of them this year so I can make advent calendars for both my kids and my nephew. Oh and the yarn I used was regular old Red Heart with Fun Fur accent on two of them.<br /><div><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/caednkat/3142289743/" title="Mini Christmas Stockings by caednkat, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3094/3142289743_b4d22215d4.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Mini Christmas Stockings" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/caednkat/3143108440/" title="Mini Christmas Stockings by caednkat, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3132/3143108440_7f75c4fff9.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Mini Christmas Stockings" /></a><br /><div><div><br />A set of Ballband Dishcloths for a friend.

This was knit with the same yarn (Patons SWS)on size 10 needles. It went so fast and was fun to make.
