what am i working on now? well i have 3 projects going at the moment, i'm working on a knitted rug, a baby blanket and a crochet blanket.

this  is the rug, i've been asked to make this for a friend, they wanted it to be grey, and yellow, with a few hints of brown. when finished it will be approximately 3 feet around. i've been enjoying knitting this. the grey part i'm using the circular ten stitch pattern, and for the yellow, it's just a simple I-cord, so the grey is being attached as i go, and the I-cord is being attached with the brown color. this seems to work up super fast. heres the link to the ten stitch circular, http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ten-stitch-twist

it looks complicated, but it's actually really simple, the hardest part is the wrap and turns, which is pretty simple once you get the hang of it, i totally recommend this pattern, and i will be making myslef a ten stitch blanket, when i finish these few projects.  but if you get confused, leave me your questions and i'll do my best to explain. maybe in the future, i'll do a video on it. :)






this is the baby blanket, it's composed of 4 triangles, worked from the top down, decreasing every row. i have three of the four triangles completed, and then i will stitch them all together and then add a purple flower in the middle where the four tips meet. this blanket is my own pattern. it is super simple. great for beginners. i'm using baby weight yarn with size 11 needles, i love how it drapes and is so soft. 



and the third project, i cant post, just in case the person looks at this, it's a surprise. but i will post when it is finished.  let me know what you all are working on. i hope you are enjoying your self's and happy crafting!

Penguin throw blanket

For Christmas (2012) i made my brother-in-law a throw blanket. theres about 252 granny Squares in these three containers. i organized them by rows                                                these are all the different colors i used Lining up the Rows and sewing them together.                                     Trying to figure out how to do an invisible seem. this is actually a bright red, dunno why it came out orange in the pic. About half way done   And Finally the Finished Product.   And Finally The Boarder. which is just a Granny Square around the blanket. I found this pattern pretty easy, since it is just a lot of small granny squares, however after about the 30th square i did get tired of making them! but i love the end result, and my brother-in-law loves his blanket, which is what matters the most! this is a very simple easy beginner blanket. i found this pattern on www

You know those plastic grocery bags we all have laying around?  ya well i got tired of them cluttering up the cabinet under my sink, so i went online to find a pattern to make something i could put them all in, i found a few patterns but they weren't big enough, the one that i found that i really liked they person wanted $10.00 for the pattern, i'm cheap so i wasn't going to pay for a pattern. So i finally decided to try and make my own. here's what i came up with.      While it's not perfect, it does the job. it's pretty plain, but i'm quit proud of myself for making it without a pattern.  I worked this flat on straight needles and then sewed the edges together to make it round. i might make another one in the future and add a design or possibly some cables just to give it some character. here's my pattern for those that would like to make one... or three :D haha. Cast on 40 stitches.  (I used an U.S. size 9 needles) worked about 35
