Look at my boy
Mood:  cheeky
Now Playing: He is a very Spoiled boy
Isn't he so handsome? Now Elvis and his Mommy have matching sweaters. We will make a fine looking pair when we go for long walks together. I used my favorite Dog sweater pattern. The pattern is at http://doggoneknit.com/?page_id4 I really like this pattern because of the Velcro closure under the neck and under the tummy. It makes getting the sweater on and off very easy. I used Red Heart Bright and Lofty, the color Beach, and 1 strand of Alpaca the color Royal blue to make the sweater extra warm. It can get very cold in South Dakota in the winter.

My very first sweater for ME!
Mood:  happy
I have finally did it. I have knit a sweater. I have been knitting for about 2 years when I first started knitting, I wanted to learn to knit socks. I did learn to knit socks, and I love hand knit socks. Then I wanted to learn to knit a sweater, I am knitted many things before I achieved that goal. I have been searching for an easy pattern for about a year. I finally found one that I thought that I could knit with out to much trouble, and got busy. The pattern can be found at http://www.dailyknitter.com/kelly.html I did not use the recommended yarn because it has 20% wool in it , and I can not wear wool. To itchy for me. I chose Red Heart Bright and Lofty, the color Beach. Now I am knitting a matching sweater for my dog Elvis we should make a very handsome pair!

The front of my sweater is done
Now I have to knit the back and sew it together. I started knitting about 2 years ago. I wanted to learn to knit socks. I did, and I just love hand knit socks. Although I don't have to many pairs of socks, because I keep knitting gifts for everyone else. But I enjoy knitting for others so much.
I should have enough yarn left over from my sweater to knit a sweater for my pup Elvis. Won't we be a handsome looking pair!

Mood:  cheeky
Now Playing: I could not wait to take a picture
I am so excited about knitting a real sweater, that I could not wait until it was finished to take a picture of it. I am using Red Heart Bright, and Lofty yarn. The color is called beach. I picked a very, very easy pattern. I hope that it fits when I am done with it.

Grandma's Gloves
Now Playing: I love this glove pattern
The gloves can be made to have a regular cuff or a loner cuff. I made the gloves with the longer cuff. I used Re Heart yarn, the color Cherry Red. The pattern came from http://www.bevcountrycottage.com/knitgloves.html
I am going to put these gloves away. They will be a gift, but I haven't decided who to give them to yet.
