Here is the start of my first sweater. I decided to sign up for an 8-week sweater class over at frog pond knits. So far it has been great. I am a self-taught knitter so this is the first time I have actually knit with other people. I’m guessing that there are a lot of knitting tricks they don’t tell you in books, and hopefully I’ll learn some in this class.
I’m halfway done with my Luck Stars quilt. This
is my first quilt ever and I think it is coming out pretty well so far! The
pattern is a great one for beginners, very forgiving. I started this one quite a
while ago, but I think I will be done with the top before too long.
My current knitting project is the peace shawl. (a Fiber Trends pattern) I’m a little further along on this then the
picture shows. This is my first go at knitting lace and it has definitely been
a challenge. I’m getting very good at backtracking and fixing mistakes. The
yarn I’m using is beautiful, it is a 50% wool and 50% silk blend. When I’m done
with this one it will be a gift for Vicki Minor of the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. I know she could use a little peace after a fire season like this years.
