warneral Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 O-wool balance bulky cardigan. I hate working with yarn this thick and just frogged 6 rows so grrrr http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/splash-of-blue I need to start working on Cold Breath by Joji. It is a big cowl neck oversized pullover with skinny arms. Mine will be dark blackish navy http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cold-breath Once I get the shoulders sone, this should be a fun knit!

blondeviolin Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 My oldest is going as Hermione for Halloween so I'm knitting a scarf and probably some fingerless mitts.

Murphy101 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I'm making button-puffs, similiar theory as the hexipuffs. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/button-quilt Slowly progressing through the squares for this cabled blanket. I'm on the square for week 6. http://www.creativebug.com/workshop/cabled-afghan-knit-along/week1 I'm also crocheting several baby blankets for friends/family due this winter. And a Jayne Cob hat with matching mittens for one of my sons. I've got a long project list that I need to hurry up on. LOL I'm not on the OUAT group. Yet. I like the show so that could be fun. Off to add yet another group... I do a Harry Potter house cup that is really fun. They make up class assignments for us to match completed projects to each month, there's house games to play in too (I'm in Hufflepuff.) It's quite fun and motivating and keeps my needles going.

Bug's Mom Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I just finished knitting a Link (Legend of Zelda) costume for my 1-year-old grand-nephew. It got there yesterday and IT FITS! My daughter is also going as Link this year, but I did NOT knit her costume. I am knitting gauntlets for it, though. It gets chilly around here, so warm costumes are good costumes. I've been knitting a lot of Options Slippers lately. I'm also trying to finish a hoodie for my girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I have been chugging my way through a Starmore Aran sweater for my younger son. I am going to get it done by his birthday in January come hell or high water! I've got the back done and am at least halfway through the front. I am going to knit both sleeves at the same time. It is this one, if you are interested: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/killeany I am loving this knit! After I am done I am taking a short break to make hats and mittens, and then I am making another one from the same book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainySunday Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Just finished my first project! Wool longies for my 17 month old. I used this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/itchy-fingers-longies-pattern. I took a class at a really cool little yarn shop in Montana this summer and left there able to cast on, knit, purl, and do garter, stockinette, and 2X2 rib on single point needles. To complete this project I taught myself how to make a gauge swatch, knit in the round on circular and double points, do short rows, the kitchener stitch, change yarn, increase to make a gusset, seed stitch and bind off in pattern. I am pleased with how they turned out, especially since they FIT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mothersweets Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Oh my goodness, what am I NOT knitting?!! I've had a major case of startitis over the summer so I have two cardigans, three pairs of socks, one shawl, and two blankets going. I actually cast on for another cardigan last night. I did finish 4 pairs of socks, one sweater, a sleeveless top for my 7yo, and a baby blanket this summer so I'm not a complete slacker. ;) Love hearing of everyone's projects and looking through the links!

Heather in OK Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Baby hat. Always have a baby hat on my needles. I make them for my client's babies to wear after birth (when mama is ready for baby to have a hat or if we need to keep baby warm) instead of those worthless thin hospital-type hats.

Could I pick it up easily and use it as a relaxing, mindless knit? I am a very new knitter. As in, I've only ever made things that are rectangles. So, I had to learn how to increase and decrease.

lanabug Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Oh, I wish I knew how to knit! Maybe someday.... In the meantime, I am teaching myself how to crochet. I saw a tutorial for a sashay ruffle scarf and it looked easy enough for a child to do, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I've now made 3 scarves - one adult size in eggplant and metallic gold, a child and matching doll scarf in peacock-y colors, and I'm working on my 3rd skein in 24 hours. This one is a pretty turquoise. I figure I can give them to all my female family members for Christmas. I'm feeling like the time (hours) I have spent watching Gilmore Girls is redeemed since I'm doing something with my hands at the same time! As soon as I finish the scarves, I see an afghan in the future... Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SapphireStitch Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I finished a baby blanket Thursday night while watching my St. Louis Cardinals lose to the Giants. I'll have to look at it closely in good lighting to see if the last few inches are knitted a whole lot tighter because I was stressing big time. :crying: Now I need to cast on something new and I kept myself awake last night trying to figure out what I wanted to knit next. Most of my knitting is for charity projects or gifts because I like to knit baby blankets and hats and we don't need them around here. I want to knit baby blankets for the Pine Ridge Reservation OB ward, and I have some brownish variegated yarn I thought I'd strand with some cream yarn...but when I tried that last night it just looked icky. So, back to the drawing board. Maybe it's time to try making a sweater...I've never done that. BTW, I use the same username on Ravelry, if you're there feel free to friend me. I don't have very many projects listed, but I am trying to get in the habit of putting my new projects on there as soon as I start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
