Beanie time...



This week I've been knitting a beanie for a friends birthday. I started early in the week and was done on Thursday, but it was way too small. So last night I sat up until midnight knitting it again. Its done now, and now I'm doing the embroidery on it... http://fadecrazy.wordpress.com/2008/01/18/goomba-hat-pattern-well-sort-of/


*edit: all done, and the birthday boy has allowed me to post this pic of him wearing it :)

It's done!


I have finally finished my first Chevron Scarf. It is currently blocking (first time I've ever blocked anything too) Two skeins of Koigu KPPPM have given me a blocked length of 145cm.
Also assisted my daughter in knitting herself a couple of mulitcolour wrist warmers in neon colours for her school production costume and started a cushion cover for a friends daughters 1st birthday pressie.
This week I need to knit a beanie for a birthday pressie for a guy at work.

Not much of an update really...

Not much going on, still frantically working on the Chevron scarf. Three days left of the Olympics and I'm not sure if I'll get it done before the end but I'll try.
Have a few projects lined up after this, will post more when the time comes.

Hipi's knitting blog begins.


So, I've decided to start knitting blog. This is the first post...bear with me while I get it up and running.

I'm currently taking part in the Ravelympics on Ravelery....I'm part of Team Tardis and my event is the Scarf Stroke. It's looking pretty good so far. My first go at a Chevron scarf, made the Koigu KPPPM yarn.
Here's a progress pic. Started it on Friday night and this was taken late Sunday afternoon.
