pReSeNtiNg MiSs BiTtY

Yay!! Bitty has a new sweater.. just in time for the cooler weather of Florida.. She is modeling outside here.. heheheh.. look how perky her ears are.. she has a tendency to run after birds and bugs.. so thats why she is on a leash.. my yard doesn't have a fence.. and for a little dog she can run really fast..
















Here is a view of the sweater off bitty.. I used caron simply soft in hot pink and black .. the pattern was from a very old little booklet from beehive yarn co. for bazaar novelties and gifts.. I changed it up a bit and added a crochet ruffle edging around the neck and leg opennings.. and four little crochet flowers down the back...
















Here is bitty again modeling.. heheh.. when i first put the sweater on her.. she was so happy.. her little tail was wagging and she ran around in circles for a bit.. I think she likes it!!! (^_^)

















This is my current wip.. the harlet scarf #2.. this one is also being knit in patons SWS in shades of blue..
the actual name is natural denim.. I'm hoping to finish this either today or at least by tomorrow.. this scarf is also a christmas present.. I'm trying to bang out some presents really fast because I'm so far behind..

Just a little knitting update.. my SWS scarf is now finished.. and the weather in Florida has finally cooled off.. at least for this week.. last night I had to dig around for a tiny doggy sweater to put on my little chihuahau bitty when I let her outside to do her nightly thing in the grass .. poor little dog had a sweater that I knit for her a few years ago out of left over acrylic yarn.. but for some reason after being wash many times the yarn has gotten hard.. and lost its stretch.. so last night I casted on to make a wee little doggy sweater just for her.. the sweetest dog on earth.. I luv bitty.. (^_^)

Note: if u haven't read this.. take a look.. it's wonderful..

ScArF sCaRf HaT

I've been having trouble loading pictures and accessing blogger.. I use firefox as my browser and sometimes it gets touchy.. today I used the explorer and yes there are pictures.. maybe that was the problem... so here are my FO and not so FO of the last few days.. a guys hat knit in manos del uruguay and patons SWS.. another one skein scarf crocheted in patons classic wool.. and a not so finished guys scarf also knit in patons SWS.. I really like the texture of this scarf..you ask ooooo what pattern is that.. well I'll tell u.. (^_^)... I have to thank the yarn harlot for the pattern for this pretty textured scarf. She posted her scarf the other day on her blog..( her scarf was made with very beautiful homespun that it seems she spun up either that day or the day before.. my word.. how does she do it..) anyway her scarf looked so warm and cozy.. in autumn colors .. i wanted to make one too... but instead of spinning my yarn.. i just bought 2 balls of SWS and I'm pleased with the colors and texture of both yarn and stitch pattern... thanks Stephanie.!!!

I woke up today and decided that I better start making some Christmas presents... soon!!... so today is going to be dedicated to just that .. I'm armed with both needles and hooks.. fingers flying...yarn lint floating all around me.....on the needles ...a hat that I started knitting with manos del uruguay for the brim and now for the body I changed to patons SWS in tones of grey to browns to black.. I previously used this yarn to make a one skein wonder and fingerless gloves... I really liked how the yarn changed from biege to pink to green... but as I'm knitting this hat... I'm just loving how the how colors are evolving as a knit each row...I think patons hit the jack pot with this yarn... its soft.. has a nice sheen to it and the color combinations are wonderful... everyone on my christmas list is probably going to get an SWS knitted gift.. hehehe. On the hook... a is another one skein scarf.. the pattern is from the Happy Hooker... got to luv one skein projects..!!!
















Finished!!! one therapeutic neck roll cover and one WUA block..

Yay!! pictures...!!!.. this is the cover i finished for the therapeutic neck roll..which since this picture was taken has been felted in the washer and drying under the fan..

















this is the beginning of my block for a WUA blanket .. and that is also finished. now..














and.... a picture of knit-lites in action.. these are so fun.. I might get a few different sizes.. I knit in the car all the time at night and when we watch movies at home.. and everyone always complains about the light being on.. (^_^)

nO pHoToS!!

Well.. for 2 days now ... I've been trying to upload some photo's with no luck.. since then I have finished knitting...

1. a sleeve for the neck roll ( another Christmas present done). there is a picture in a previous post..
   
2. a block for WUA ..out of yarn left over yarn from the yarn event at Michael's this past Sunday
3. just a picture of knit lites in action.. so cool..

But since I can't seem to upload any pictures... u can'tsee how cool they are..
If you are interested in WUA .. the pattern is on their website and there are free leaflets at Michaels and other craft stores with the instructions on how to make blocks.... supplies are simple.. worsted weight acrylic yarn and size 7 or 8 needles ... if u crochet size G crochet hook.. I knitted my block in a short evening of knitting and plan to make a few more.. they go fast.. when done .. drop it off in the boxes at the front of a Michaels or other craft stores in your area that is participating... if u feel like donating a little more time..check for the dates that the store will be sewing them into blankets.. thats a fun day too..

So.. since i have no pictures today ..I will tell u what's on the needles...

1. a hat on size 9 circulars.. the pattern is from last minute knitted gifts.. the yarn I'm using is manos del uruguay and patons SWS

1. the one skein scarf from the happy hooker..the yarn is patons classic wool and regency is the color

I am going to try again later to upload some pictures... hopefully I will have some success.. (^_^)
