So...Ummm...Yeah

I finished one of the socks I started (except for the kitchner stitch). Am I nuts to start more that one when I am first starting knitting them??? I also have 66 squares done for my friend who is going to make afghans out of them and bring them to Africa with her in June to hand out to children. And I have 2 more preemie hats done and one more on the needles. Still have to get my mom's second cousin's prayer shawl done (why is it so painful for me to work on this???). I almost finished a prayer shawl to donate to the online group that I am a part of. And I started another one. Boy, I am starting to sound like an ADD knitter/crocheter!!! I have a shopping bag that I started a couple of weeks ago (this is the possible Christmas gift for everyone this year). So...I will keep stashbusting with the squares, shawls and hats. And eventually I will get photos of everything up and posted. (Boy I have a lot to get done!!!)

You will never guess what I am knitting now...

SOCKS!!! I know....I can't believe it either! I am almost done with the first sock. What really boggles my mind is that I started it on Sunday and it is almost done! Photos coming soon!

A little charity knitting...a prayer shawl...

Finally I accomplished enough to post again!!

First of all I have a prayer shawl (throw) for my friend Andrew. Andrew is in the Army and was shot in Iraq3 times in the left calf. I felt that he needed a prayer shawl to offer him some comfort. Anyone that reads this, could you just say a little prayer for him or think a good thought for him? It would be much appreciated. This is the throw that I knitted for him (it only took me 2 and a half weeks and starting over 5 times and it has many mistakes in it, but I figure life isn't perfect so why should this throw be.)

...and here is a cose up of the ripple pattern that I used.

I finally got around to photographing the prayer cloths that I made for the Prayer Cloth Ministry. Here they are with their close ups.

...and my knitting group that I go to in Saratoga is making preemie hats. I also had a angel pouch made up that I am going to send along with the hats. The angel pouch is for a stillborn or preemie that is too weak to make it. It is a very sad thing to make, but I just had to keep reminding myself that some little baby was going to need this. We are making them for Glens Falls Hospital.

Now I have a few projects going. I am making an Eco Friendly Shopping Bag, more baby hats, afghan squares for the group that meets in Albany, the prayer shawl fr my mom's second cousin (I really have to finish that), and I just bought yarn to make the wristlets that are in the Punk Knits book. Nothing like having a few projects going!!

So I forgot to post something

I just got off the phone with my friend, Amy, and I realized that I never posted the prayer shawl that was for my hairdresser who was in a car accident.

So....without further ado, here is the prayer shawl.....

Here is as close-up of the yarn and stitches...

It was made with Lion Brand Homespun and Lion Brand Fun Fur.
