Finishing a whole lot of nuthin'

Discovered I am not finishing many of the projects I've started this year. For one reason or another... incorrect guage (despite swatches), but mostly short attention span. I do enjoy having several projects OTN/OTH. I am knitting a sweater in the round while pedalling 10 miles (takes one hour) a day on the stationary bike.
There's a baby sweater from Leisure Arts Leaflet # 643 Book 3. "Webbed Set". I am doing this one in yellow and white for size NB/3mo. I work on this one in the wee hours of the mornings during my wake-up "me" time.
I have finished a few simple dishcloths. I guess I need to start finishing a few items so I can post more.

Blogger and ISP not cooperating


Hmm...seems I am running to glitches (as are we all!). Tried to post a pic of a fair isle hat I just completed, but no go. Another try? Sure!

I combined and modified two different hat patterns and added the norwegian (sp?) snowflake to the mix. I mocked it up in an excel spreadsheet.

If any of this decides to be nice (hey I am a newbie to blogging and this just makes things even harder!), I am planning on adding several more pics today.

Note to self - NYR - update blog regularly.

First baby sweater



Finally put the finishing touches on this sweater. This is the first knitting project I've done. From Bernat's "Baby Hoodie". Minus the hood. It seemed so boring and plain, I needed something to add some appeal. By looking at other Bloggers' finsihed work, I got the idea to try duplicate stitch and found a simple flower motif. I'm thinking of adding some flower "buds" along the neckline all around.
