Help


Okay, go this cute idea while making the mitred squared. If you look at the pictures you see my idea and my problem. Does anyone know how to make a square starting from the diagonal. I posted my problem on a few boards. I'm confused a bit more. Basically, I want it done in stockinette stitch but from all the replys, its best done in garter. If it did it in garter, my problems would be solved but I am stubborn, I want stockinette....... anyone, help me please.

UFO and FO



One of my current projects is the dishcloth. Yep, i got that bug too. Normally, i am not a dishcloth fan but since i started making this one, I have t his urge to make another one. Damn these urges, they get me into so much trouble.

The other is a picture of my punchneedle kit. It was fast and fun. I have since bought more fabric and floss to create my own design. First, I have to finish off some of my knitting projects (running out of room on my sofa).

Sock story, the long and short of it



Every blog that I looked at had people making socks. I, not a big sock fan (those puppies come off the minute I get home), figured to be considered a knitter you have to make a pair of socks in your lifetime. So I went on the web and found me some sock yarn. Cute, stripy, why not. So now what pattern? So many to choose from. As I sat and waited for my purchase to come, I kept checking the website from where I bought my yarn to see what state my yarn was traveling through. I realized two things..... I cant read and that my math sucks. From the website...You need two skeins....Not one... To make a pair of socks. Wow...I'm stupid. Okay.... Maybe I will make anklets since I don't like long socks, that may save on yardage. Oh look! Toe up patterns....Maybe I'll have two socks, not one. Am I really going to wear these????? Well, I do like clogs...Maybe some thing for them?

yep, those are my finished clog slips. And I do have some yarn left over. Any ideas???
so I found this lovely green stripe yarn. ooo ooo socks. Getting this far I came to the conclusion I don't want to continue. Its pretty, its stripy, and I'm bored. Is there a period of waiting before you completely frog a project?

got the camera


Remember when i said i was working on another purse? Well, I changes my mind. I got the mitred square bug and thought that it would make a cute felted purse. For some reason, I think that this is going to become a felted pillow.


Here is the picture of the purse I made with nylon thread. I think the paw print lining goes quite well. Plus, you got to love fabric glue for the no sew look. I use this purse as my knitting bag. Especially for small projects when i go to the parents' house.
