Letting my hands rest

Feeling a little guilty lately.  I haven't knitted anything because my hands have been hurting. I really like the cable on the sweater but I guess I over did it a little..

I have another project in the works.  No hand manipulation on this one.  If I can just figure out what size to knit it at.

Cable sweater

I like making cables, they're fun to make and they look really nice . This past weekend I have been working on a new sweater. I made it on my bulky using sugar and cream yarn.  I never can find a cable pattern I like when I'm in the mood to do cables so I always end up having to design one myself.    I'm not the most creative person so it always comes out mathematically correct :-)

Here is the front, just off the machine.

Innovation knitting machine

I Have really learned to appreciate my knitting machine, it makes great hats for charity.
My favorite pattern is just knitting the tube 24 inches long folding in half  and then you have a double thick hat.  By using two different color yarn 12 inches each,  you now have a reversible hat.

Finally getting my phone set up

I finally got my email set up today on my new phone.   This new phone has a lot more gadgets it's a galaxy 4 & I think I should be able to use it to help with my knitting and pictures and various other things.
I'm kind of in a dry spell right now.
I really don't know what to knit.
After coming home from work and getting in the pool, I really don't have much time before I have to go to bed.
Maybe that's why it seems there isn't as much time as it used to be, I'm spending more time outside.
Don't get me wrong , don't want to stay inside I enjoy going outside.

News baby layette

I just love making baby things

My newest project

I take my lunch to work and decided I was tired of using plastic bags from the stores so I knitted a lunch bag.

New phone new beginning

I'm hoping that with the new phone I will start using this blog like I wanted, to keep track of my knitting
