Fetching

Of course I had to start another project. I've been working slowly but surely on my Japanese Feathers wrap but as soon as I cast off the Baby gift for my friend (shhh it's still a surprise!) on Sunday night and I had to put something else on the needles. Enter Fetching...

I bought my first skein of Malabrigo Worsted last night (in Holly Hock) as my reward for working 10 rows on my wrap. I can't believe I lasted this long and oh my it is glorious. It's a beautiful purpley pink color. Got about 24 rounds done last night and it's already a fairly good size. This will be a quick and easy project and I'm all about the instant gratification! What a change from the fingering weight for lace and socks!

Cables

15. knit something with cables

Well let's not hesitate and start working on crossing things off shall we? I started this Hot Water Bottle Cozy on Wednesday night. I learned a new way to cast on and also used 2 circular needles for the first time. This project was all about firsts. It's almost finished and I'm hoping to cross it off the list over the weekend.

After 2 days of knitting- almost finished. Something clicked- all of a sudden my hands aren't fumbling with the needles anymore and I'm not confused between knit and purl :) It's about time!

Aren't the cables lovely?! They are surprisingly very easy- Jump right in and give them a try!
