WIP Wednesday: Basket Weave Scarf

Happy Wednesday!  I showed you on in my last post my first completed knitted item, the Lacey Keyhole Scarf.  Here's a picture again, just because I like it so much!

I was so pleased with how this turned out that I wanted to start working on something else right away, so I chose a simple basket weave scarf pattern from the Chicks with Sticks Guide to Knitting which I borrowed from the library and got started.  Here's what I have so far (about 36 inches or so).

FO Friday! I want candy...And cows...And monsters...And a scarf!

Well my crafting for the past few weeks has been kind of all over the place. I started about six different projects and hadn't really followed through on anything. I have so many ideas and projects that I want to do going around in my head that I can't seem to commit to any one thing. I know we all have times like this. Add to this the fact that I haven't been feeling very well and I have a lot of half done Amis and other projects lying around the house. So I finally decided to buckle down and finish some of these things up!

First up is a little monster I call Peppermint Candy Surprise.

WIP Wednesday: Knitting with Sticks!

I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but there really hasn't been much going on.  I haven't been feeling very well and just didn't feel like doing much.  Oh and I read like 6 books, which sort of took up all my free time.  This weekend I decided it was time to get back on the horse.  I purchased a craftsy.com course called Knit Lab to learn how to knit.  You may remember that I love to crochet, and I started my adventure in yarncraft with loom knitting but now I am attempting to learn how to knit with needles!

My first attempt at the keyhole scarf project from the class was kind of a horrible mess and I ended up ripping it all back out, threw the needles on the table and left it alone for a few days and worked on some other things.  Today I got my courage back a little bit and started again.  So far I think it's going OK.
