Blue and Purple Pinwheel

It's finally done!

Weekend

I had a 4 day weekend this week, and pretty much had nothing going on - so I basically relaxed and with the exception of going for food three times, I didn't leave my property.

Tuesday night I frogged the Sunday Swirl Eyelet Hearts scarf. Something must be terribly wrong with the pattern -or my interpretation (from Vogue Stitchionary) as Amanda didn't have any luck either. If anyone has successfully used this stitch, let me know what I am doing wrong. I think it might have something to do with the SK4P.

Wednesday (the 4th) I taught myself how to knit continental.

Thursday I slept a lot and worked on updating my blog. Notice the link to my finished projects and some old posts that have mysteriously appeared. I also started knitting a dishcloth continental. Ooops! I forgot to take a picture.

Friday I went to lunch with Crafty Mands and Yarn Envy, and since I got to the restaurant way early I stopped by the Gap Clearance Store and got two cute shirts for Ginger. We now have matching shirts as I got this T last year from Old Navy.

After lunch I worked on updating my "future projects" / Stash page. I still have a long way to go, but I am told I will be ready once it's my turn on ravelry (and if you haven't put your name on the waiting list yet, I have been told you should do so).

Saturday I lunched with knitting friends again. Then I made a swatch of the Sirenetta yarn I have so I can pick a sweater pattern. I also finished the broken slip stitch scarf made out of Smania, which consisted of weaving in the ends. . . something I have been putting off for months now.

And then I picked up the Pinwheel. The slant eyelet edging (from Stitchionary) goes fast, but not fast enough. I am not quite to 1/3 done.

I guess not too bad for a lazy weekend.

I did it!

I finally did it, my knitting group is going to be so proud! They have been bugging me for a year about 'throwing' and I had tried once before, but all my stitches were twisted. Amanda commented the other night when she saw me crocheting the ears for the lambie pie blanket. She said she was surprised that I cannot knit continental because of the way that I hold the yarn to crochet. So, I decided to get out a book and try it again.

Here is my first CONTINENTAL knitting swatch.

Juicy Fruit Watermelon- Finished

I finished with 13 hours to spare! And yes Erin, I am glad I put the 'L' into it, it would have been boring other wise. It was a hit at the shower (and at the Relay for Life).
