Mood:
a-ok
Now Playing: Putting scarf on hold
Mood:
a-okNow Playing: Putting scarf on hold
I have been knitting the Illusions scarf. I have 39 inches done on the scarf. But I am putting it on hold again. I have been waiting for my size 1 dpn needles to come in the mail, and they arrived Friday. I am going to knit a pair of socks with them. I have not knit a pair of socks on size 1 needles yet, and I am looking forward to it. I think that I will cast them on this afternoon.

Fall colors are my favorite colors. I used Red Heart yarn, the color fall to crochet these slippers for myself. I like them so much, that I am going to crochet some for family and friends. I found the pattern in Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts 2006. the pattern is easy and works up fast.

I crocheted this cute little Ribbed sweater for Elvis in a couple of days. I made it a little smaller then the pattern called for, because the one in the pattern was way to big for him. I used Red Heart yarn, the color Sierra. The pattern can be found at
