project updates

I haven't been sewing lately, mostly because I can't find my projects and I don't seem to have the time. Tomorrow I have to head up to Vogue Fabrics and get supplies for my fit-a-muslin class on August 23, so I'll at least sew that much. But instead, I've been knitting


a sock yarn scarf in the Yarn Harlot's one row pattern,


a big comfy scarf in garter stitch using Lion Brand Homespun,


a facecloth or perhaps the outside of a little purse in cotton yarn,


and getting ready to knit some Malabrigo. Yum!

If you are thinking of a pattern, here's a lovely pattern for a great cause: Knitting for Knockers. I did it, don't you want to?! :)

ps I've started working on Christmas presents! I grew up not celebrating Christmas, but it's really fun without family pressure to make things for my friends who I love (and the family usually gets something in that process)...it's quite fun without the pressure of HAVING to do it.

I love the colors! I'm envious that you're going to the fit class at Vogue. I want to go , but can't leave my girls for that long yet....

Nice scarves! I love the harlot scarf pattern.

That Harlot scarf looks GREAT! And, I think that eyelet blue cotton would be a great little soap pocket :) but you already knew that.

Hope to see you soon!
