Some Finished Projects......

I am still clicking away with my needles and yarn. Below are photos of the Modular Baby Blanket I was working on that is going to South Africa, and two modular scarfs I knitted using the cotton yarn (actually it is a thread I would place in the light-worsted weight category) pictured below. Both were fun to do and I plan to do more. They work up fairly quick and the cotton thread makes it an accessory you can wear year-round. The scarves will work with everything from blouses to turtleneck sweaters. And I think the zig-zag pattern spices up your look.


Here are the two scarves knitted using the Elann Cotton Thread

Here is a closer view of the pattern. Modular knitting is usually composed of knitted triangles and squares, and the beauty of it is you usually do not have to pick up stitches to achieve this effect. The triangles 'magically' appear on top of one another.


Here is an even closer look.


Here is a photo of the finished Modular Baby Blanket going to the Zulu's

And here are more skeins I added to my "Stash." I have decided to start treating myself by purchasing more natural fibers. I like acrylic for certain projects; but I am 'acrylic-ed out.' The problem now is: I don't want to use my beautiful yarn. Call me wierd; but I love looking at the colors and don't want to break up my stash....

What am I working on now?? A baby sweater for a neighbor's 1-year old; and knowing me, I suppose I will include a hat and socks. After that I will have another Modular Scarf on the needles as a gift for my Uncle Georges' special lady who lives in California. Beyond that I have a loooooong list I intend to complete by the end of this year. The problem with that is; I always find myself having to insert 'emergency' things into my list, which puts everything else further down the way, and I never get to complete everything I set out to do. I still haven't made anything for myself from last year; and I still "owe" a few items to people I said I would donate.
