She's Back!

Tina's back leading the parade of FO's (if you call 3 FO's a parade)

Velvet Grapes:

Yarn:  Malabrigo "Velvet Grapes", 1 skein
Pattern:  Knitting Pure & Simple Baby Tunic (minus the hood)
Needles: sizes 7 & 9 Addi's

Clover's Crocheted Log Cabin Blanket:

Yarn:  Plymouth Jeannee, 11 colors
Pattern:  My own, inspired by Mason-Dixon Knitting's knitted Log Cabin Blanket
Hook:  Size H

and
Bunny Grabbit Blankie:

Yarn:  Berroco Plush
Pattern:  Mine
Needles: 10 1/2

So, what's that leave on the needles?

Boy Socks

Yarn:  Sockina
Pattern:  Just your plain ole stockinette sock
Needles:  Crystal Palace size 1 1/2

I started this pair of socks for myself, but I didn't do a gauge swatch (never do for socks) and they are working up to be too big for me, but they'll be just right for the hubby.  I figure it's about time I make him another pair of socks anyway, so these are for him. 

There are a few other things on the needles, but I'm not actively working on them; not sure yet whether I want to finish them or not. 

I've got a very small amount of the green merino to finish spinning; I'm hoping to get that done this week.

Next up:  Christmas stocking for Clover using the yarn that Heather was nice enough to dye up for me in the colorway she named for her, "Sweet Clover", (check out all the new yarns she's put up in her etsy shop this week!), socks for my brother-in-law for Christmas, and then, finally, a sweater for me.  I would like to make a new sweater for myself soon; it's been a while.  I'm not sure which one I'll make yet.  I've got a lot of ideas bouncing around in my head.

Well, that's enough for today; have a great one!

That Malabrigo sweater is wonderful! Clover is one lucky girl.

I love the Malabrigo sweater! It's adorable -- even on Tina!

Thanks for sending all the good thoughts my way. If the good thoughts of knitters are enough to speed my recovery, I'll be back on my feet in no time at all!

I don't know which Ilove more -- the sweater (I would kill for one like it for myself -- sooo my color) or the log cabin blanket. It is fabulous! Can't wait to see how Clover's stocking works up. yay!

[Gina House]

I LOVE the blanket!!!! What a great job you did! And the sweater....man, that color is so rich and beautiful. So many fo's...I'm jealous! You're always amazing me, Julie!!

[Danielle]

Yep, 3 is DEFINITELY a parade in my book :)

PS -- the bunny is just adorable!

[Jackie]

That log cabin blanket is absolutely stunning. I love the sweater too.

One FO is enough for a parade. Three FOs merits marching bands, floats, and baton twirlers. ;-}

[Bea]

I've missed seeing Tina, the Log Cabin is incredible, I love it! It looks like a piece of art that should be hung on a wall!

[lisa]

Scary scary Tina! But lovely sweater, and don't you love the name of the yarn color? Love the colors on your log cabin blanket!

[Hillary]

I really love the crochet log cabin blanket. The colors look great together and I'm sure that it will be perfect for Clover.

[Sheepish Annie]

Wow! Love it all...but I really want to do one of those log cabin blankets sometime. Yours is stunning!

[Lisa]

Oooh the sweater and the blanket are gorgeous! I love them both!

[Chris]

Wow! That log cabin blanket is really cool.

Gorgeous knitting/crocheting there. The log cabin blanket is breathtaking - - can't wait to see a photo of Clover wrapped up in it! Have a great weekend.

Love the sweater and the log cabin blankie. I have been cogitating on making a log cabin ever since seeing a pattern for one in Interweave Crochet. I'm just not sure about all those hanging strips to be picked up as you go... You may have inspired me to give it a go sooner than expected! LOL =-D

You've been busy! Glad to see we're not the only ones with the creepy baby model. hehe, actually she's pretty cute.
