(we had a little cool front this weekend
and I was able to wear it to worship on Sunday!)
that as soon as I finished it, I couldn't wait to jump right in to another project.
and discovered lots of free patterns at my knitting experience level.
I was so inspired! I have three new projects started!
First up is another light weight poncho.
I purchased two skeins of a variegated yarn that I've had my eye on.
(The normally low priced Red Heart yarn
was marked down even further to only $1.50 a skein!)
I am experimenting with rows of knitting
and rows of purling this time.
This will give the poncho a ribbed, textured look.
The only problem is I can't seem to keep up with my rows of each!
I'll learn a lot with this project. ;-)
I already have the finished poncho paired up in my mind
with a tan turtle neck, flair jeans, and brown boots. ;-)

I've also started working with a 100% cotton yarn
for the first time.
for the first time.
Knitting with three strands at a time
produces a very thick fabric.

I am using the popular Lily "Sugar 'n Cream" in Natural Ombre to make potholders.
And lastly, I've started some patchwork squares in garter stitch, seed stitch, and moss stitch.
That one day, might become a blanket...
Whoop! ;-)

You are so talented! I enjoy looking at your projects and often think "I wish I knew how to knit!" I'm sure it gives you great joy to be able to make your own sweaters, scarves, etc. You remind me of the Proverbs 31 woman. :)
I tried that all cotton yarn when Mrs, Nolen shared her pattern for her famous dish cloths. I should share that one. It's easy enough and fast enough for kids (although B has not completed one yet!).
