Knitting — yet another obsession!

Basketweave pillow cover in progress, knitted in Araucania sugar cane yarn. so soft. so splintery. Definite drawback.

Purse for my daughter who sewed up the edges and is finishing the I cord strap as we speak

I think I’m being way too picky and ripping out in spots where the tension is off and boy did I pay for it!

first completed knitting project

I took a knitting class at my local yarn store (Mayaluna Yarns in El Paso) love it! and I’ve been having fun, learning a lot, ripping out a lot, but having fun, did I say that already? but today will be a painting day as well, but for now, I wanted to share pics of work done or in progress.

Do you know about Ravelry?  It’s a fabulous site where you can find help with knitting questions, patterns to download (free and for a fee), yanr information, etc. etc.  I’m making the Holden Scarfette from there in the blue/green Malabrigo hand painted sock yarn, it’s a JOY to knit with.  love it.

The peach scarf was the class project and it also is from Ravelry, called Falling Water. It’s done in Debbie Bliss cotton, also great to work with.
