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!
