Yop: week 10

I love knitters. Did anyone else see the Claire Outlander Cowl on Ravelry's home pages last week?  I am loving that show ( and my fiance is into it too). Claire's cowl on the show is beautiful and I wanted to make one from the first time I saw it. But I don't know how to knit and I don't think it would look the same if I loom knitted it.
After seeing Polly foo foo's pattern ( and realizing I have the needles the pattern calls for ) I believe I can do it. I just have to learn how to knit :)


Now on to stuff I did this past week. I didn't post my blog to the group last week because I didn't finish anything , but I did set a few goals.

Sew 8 rows of the Mario Blanket together.......

I love sitting outside-ish. The weather is so nice I can sit out on the screened in porch and sew this blanket. lots and lots of sewing. Above is just 7 rows. I got annoyed with it .., lots and lots of sewing. 


Make the Chair Socks...

Here is one chair sock.. I made 2. Not sure if I like them. I LOVE the yarn but I don't know 
if its right for chair socks. 
---------------------
here are a few other projects Ive been working on .

I wonder what this could be :) 


Making a leaf garland


baby hat ( pattern by Snappy Tots. ) that's all the orange yarn I had so I couldn't add ear flaps.

    The cowl is gorgeous - I am sure you will pick up knitting very quickly. Seven rows is excellent , well done, I can really see it now and my son approves!

    Ahhh a chair sock - what a great idea! Now I'm looking sideways at all my chairs. You can learn to knit - it's easy!

    I love the baby hat! That is so cute! :)

    And I agree, you can definitely learn how to knit. I taught a friend of mine over the summer - she knew how to crochet and picked it up in no time flat, because the techniques were so similar! I taught her how to knit continental style though, and apparently that's a lot easier for a crocheter than British knitting.

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and  FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this!  I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured)  ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
