Project Pics

Here are pictures of my current projects. The turtleneck sweater is made from Knitpicks bulky weight 100% wool. I like knitting with it because you don't get a large degree of difference when switching needle sizes. The waistband was done using size 9 needles. My t-shirt was a size too small for me when I bought it. I pulled out my sewing machine and got to work. I added side panels and lace around the collar and armholes. I'm pleased with the results. I'll work on two more t-shirts this weekend. The tote bag is a test knit for SWTC. I'm using their new Karaoke 50% soy silk, 50% wool and worsted weight. It self stripes. They don't have a color card on the website yet. I've managed to get an idea from two other test knitters Allison and Stephanie . I love this stuff. It felts wonderfully. I will post another pic when it's completed.

You're the last knitdiva who hasn't made her halter cowl yet... not that there's anything wrong with that... I'm just saying! I am jealous that you get to work with the new SWTC yarn. I keep drooling over it when I see it :); 8:51 PM

I am NOT going to harrass you about the KNitDIva challenge, because I may need you to drive me somewhere sometime.....I love you, kiki; 12:36 AM
