Itty Bitty Knitty Bits

I've been chuckling over the wee little hats that are coming off my knitting needles. It really is fun to start knitting and make it up as I go!

I have learned the magic loop technique ; it works very wells with small hats and wee mittens. It's easier on my hands too. I have learned to knit on two circulars as well. I like both techniques. I don't see myself using dpns too often in the future. Thanks to my yarnie buds Emily and Kendra for showing me the ropes

My little inventory is growing slowly. I am having a little trouble sizing my newborn hats. I had an adorable newborn model a couple of weeks ago. He was very cooperative and sooo cute.
I have a little mitten to knit to complete a hat and mitten set in lavender.  I have ears to knit on a rainbow multi hat. That one of going to be very cute. These are instant gratification projects--done in three hours or less.

I am not stressing about building my inventory. It's my business and I can launch any time I am ready!  That occurred to me the other day as I was fretting over lack of progress.

I am nursing an injured knee. Waiting on MRI results to see if I will be having surgery. I will have lots of time on my hands if that is the case. At least for a week or so. I'm glad I love to knit and read, or being on "take it easy" orders would be infinitely harder.

I guess I'm going to have to start participating in the  "Sit and be Fit" shows on PBS heehee.  Gotta do something other than watch my bum get bigger as I sit around!

I think I will start my other hand warmer to match my cowl. That will be another quick knit.Since it has become colder again I think about those things. When it gets warm,  ☼ the warm weather gear is put on the back burner so to speak.

I am ready to begin a more challenging project. I'm going to look through my patterns. I think the next thing to be cast on is a shawl-ette pattern in a lovely peach.

Happy Knitting!
