So I have been knitting up a storm. I had a phase of doing nothing for a bit but now I am back. I have been mainly doing toys but I have ventured into some easy travel knits
(scarfs with simple repeats).Today I have been feeling selfish. I was knitting a toy for my baby cousin that I have to finish by the end of the month to take it home to America but I keep getting frustrated or bored or messing up. I should just do it! I have the one for her new baby brother done but not hers (well I have knitted the legs and body!) The idea was to knit little lambs for both of them but for her to make little outfits. I have found I am not as good with the outfits as I thought... basically me and lace don't get along so well and I was knitting a lace dress today and I just bunged it up and had to tear it out.
Speaking of tearing things out. After finishing half a shrug with my beautiful Malabrigo sock yarn, I decided to rip it out. I just hadn't been working on it and I felt like it would never fit. I am trying a more simple shrug now. I am going to get this going for travel knitting and then finish up the baby lamb. I think then I am up to date on major gifts! EXCITING. Two recent gifts are this Starfish pillow for my Aunt and monkey for my Dad!
Now I can get back to doing whatever I feel like wooo!some of my recent projects
