Workin' it...

So my "idea" starting this "Workin' It" was to do it on Wednesday...BUT Wednesday's are a little crazy. I have Weight Watchers over the lunch hour and then the kids are usually a little crazy...I mean they are a little crazy every day. :)
So here is my Weekly "Workin' It"...such as my knitting and other crafting such!
Here you go!!!
I finished Rick's Skid Hat...it's reversible and Rick has worn it a couple times already. :) I got this pattern on Ravelry, HERE.
I finished my Gehry Hat...I really, really like this hat! It's one of the best hats to "learn" cables in the round! I got this pattern on Ravelry, HERE.
I am working on my Pay It Forward gift that I'm doing on Facebook...seeing that I put on facebook when I blog...I'm NOT posting any pictures until I know that they all have gotten mine...BUT look at what I got from my friend Danielle. SHE is the talented woman behind Mommy's Making Stuff you can check it her facebook page HERE! She actually made Aspen's Christmas Pillowcase Dress that you can see below...Along with the Pay It Forward projects I'm working on Aspen's purple sweater. As well as wanting to start the her skirt (just haven't found the "right" pattern yet...actually I found it I'm just waiting for the person to release it to me) as well as learning to knit in the magic loop so I can work on those fingerless mitts for myself. HOPEFULLY I will have 2 projects going when we make the journey to Colorado (we leave on Tuesday)...more on that in another post!

Knitting Projects

As I wrote in my thankful blog...I had finished "Z's" blue sweater which I love. I thought I would tell a little story about that sweater.

With this sweater there is no sewing the sleeves on or anything which is one of the reasons why I did it. I got the pattern and the yarn while I was pregnant. Seeing that we didn't know what were having I ended up getting yarn that I loved. So I chose this wonderful blue (secretly hoping that the baby would have my eyes and how their eyes would pop out with this color). I got my wish! So I started it and my mom helped me with some intial parts and then I thought I understood the pattern enough to take care of finishing it. I started it and I was thinking it would be a nice thing for around 6 months old. However, either I didn't understand the pattern or I found something else to work on...I just stopped knitting it. Then during a visit with my mom she helped me figure out the pattern. (That was after "Z" was born) So at the knitting club I go to, I talked about this sweater and I decided to start adding stiches to make it bigger. I ended up getting the hang of it and just kept knitting. I took it with us during our Spring Break trip to Colorado and got a LOT done. It was usually right beside me either getting knitted & purled or I was taking a break and taking photos. I made it extra long due to the fact I would really want "Z" to wear it for a while. I didn't really want him to wear it for a short time...after all I made it! If I would have followed the pattern it would have been 2 inches shorter. So now his sleeves are rolled up but I know that he will be able to wear it for a while.

My friend is pregnant, they are not finding out what they are having and I am making them a blanket. A little background is needed for this...I am a huge Ohio State fan and my friend is from Michigan. When we first met I asked her which Michigan team she goes for. She said University of Michigan (Ohio State's arch enemy) I then said alright I guess we will look past that. We don't bring that up in our friendship. So one of my next projects is on the needles already and it's Yellow and Navy Blue...it's Michigan Wolverine colors. So it works that it's yellow, then yellow & blue, then blue, then yellow & blue and then yellow. It was ok with it being yellow and now that I have added the blue with the yellow...it feels like I am disowning my Ohio Statehood doing this blanket. BUT I know that the baby will love it (mainly because it's soft and warm) and the family will love it (mainly for the colors)...so I am thinking for my friend and her family!
