My [new] summer projects (so far) are as follows: K-9 toys, Daleks (crochet), and a lace scarf (pattern from my calendar). I was thinking about adding an afghan that I want to make for my sister, but that might be bumped down to a fall project. I have no idea if I'll be able to finish what I have on my plate (especially since I haven't gotten any crochet help yet! LOL) I've already told my mom I'm bringing my yarn and crochet hooks and the pattern up north with me-I asked her if she'd help me with the Dalek pattern. :-D
Speaking of up north-I'm heading up to Minnesota this weekend! YAY! Finally!!! I've been looking forward to my vacation for a long time now. I just need to figure out what projects I'm going to bring with me.
I've already started working on one of the K-9s. I finished the first side on Thursday and started the second one Saturday night at Starbucks (Perseph and I decided to try to get together every Saturday night at a coffee shop to work on our projects-like a little mini stitch-n-bitch. As excited as I am to go to MN, I'm a little sad that I'll be missing it for the next few weeks). I doubt I'll have time to post pictures before I leave (it's not all that exciting yet!)
TAFN!

pictures!...of completed projects!
It's June!!! I meant to post these some time ago. Yikes!! LOL. Click on the thumbnails for a slightly larger pic, if you like. :)
my slouching socks
Okay, I started these ages ago-they were the first pair of socks I ever attempted to knit. My pearl-ribbed slipper socks were actually the third pair of footwear I've attempted-and the first ones I finished, all three pairs!
The skinny on the socks:
Pattern: from Easy Knitted Accessories by Jeanette Trotman
Needles: size 5& 6, straight needles
Yarn: Lilly Sugar&Cream, 100% cotton. Salt-n-Pepper print
Started: late 2004; Completed: January 2007
I started these way back in late 2004-I liked the pattern because it didn't require knitting in the round-since I was still fairly new to knitting when I started these. Other projects kept coming up-and since these were low on the priority list, they kept getting moved into the UFO box. Every once in a while I'd take them out and work on them, but something always came up, and back in they'd go! They are a little big-I started these before I had learned the fine art of yarn weights. If you're not gonna use the same yarn as the pattern-you should at least try to match the weight!! ;) I actually finished these this past January-see? even when they are completed, the pics don't make it to the blog for nearly 6 months!!
My Strata Hat
Taa-da!
The skinny:
Pattern: Knit Cap from the back of the yarn label
Needles: size 6& 8, straight needles
Yarn: Red Heart Strata yarn: Cascade
Started: Feb. 3rd, 2007; Completed: April 27th, 2007
I was dying to try out this yarn ever since I saw an ad for it in one of my catalogs back in January. Self-patterning yarns-fair isle like pattern? Sweet! So I bought some, and had no idea what I'd make with it. Then I noticed the pattern for the hat on one of the yarn labels-yay!!!
slightly more detailed pic:
Hopefully I'll get around to making a scarf to go with it by next fall/winter.
Coming soon: summer of scifi...projects! ;) LOL
