Let's try this again

My last attempt at picking this blog back up was an utter failure, as is evidenced by the 6 month lag in posts between now and then. I'll give it another shot.

I've finished many projects since my last post. Here are some pictures:


I made this pumpkin bag as part of a swap on Ravelry. It's modified from a pattern on the Lion Brand website.


This iPod cozy is my first ever design! You can't see the details very well, but I used Noro Silk Garden and created ridges using the front-post stitch. I finished it off with a picot border.


You can't see this scarf all that well, but it's a Boteh scarf. I used Berocco Ultra Alpaca Fine, and the scarf is very delicate. I recently made another one (pictures to be downloaded still) using Plymouth Happy Feet that I think I like better.

I could have sworn I had more pictures to share. What else have I done? I knitted a scarf for my husband for Christmas. I knit an Edgar scarf.

Aha! Found a picture of the Edgar:

I crocheted a cute little birdie and egg for another Ravelry swap. I knit a Flirty Neck Warmer from the One Skein Luxury Yarns book, which is very pretty. I bought a gorgeous shawl pin from a seller on Etsy for that project.

Currently I'm learning to knit socks (not much progress so far, but I'm getting the hang of it), and I started a Lizard Ridge blanket. I'm hoping the blanket will be a gift. I'm very proud of having learned to do short rows for this project! It's so much fun and very addicting. I had to order myself 3 skeins of Kureyon online so I could continue, since I knew I wouldn't be able to make it to my LYS anytime soon.

Hopefully I will remember to post here more often now. :-)
