Knitting

Ok, so i took the pics for tomorrow, & while i was at it i took pics of the knitting i've done so far. And so here they are. (Good thing none of my family read this. It would spoil the Christmas gifts.)

This is the one i made first. It is "feather & fan" pattern.
I had left over yarn from a project last spring
& i felt like knitting. When i was done
i got the idea to do scarves & hats for my nieces & nephews
since they have recently moved to much colder weather than Florida.
I called & asked favorite colors. My youngest niece likes pink.
So i went & bought this bright pink fun fur
(which is very soft) & crocheted this trim
around the hat/scarf i'd already made
& put a new pom pom on it with pink in it.

I'm going to be doing a lot of green as that is the favorite color
of three of the kids. This is a very soft, furry yarn
which i found very difficult to knit as it seemed to tangle.
I didn't think much pattern would show, so it is simple 2x2 knit/purl rib.

This is the one in progress. It is a flat, sueded "yarn."
It is a 1x1 knit/purl twisted/plaited rib.

Because the flat "yarn" is on a cylinder, it tended to get twisted
(in a way i don't want it to twist for my pattern).
So i pulled this out of the bathroom.

This is meant to hold tp. I use it to hold hand towels.
Neither of our bathrooms have a place to hang hand towels.
Because of the huge mirrors over the sinks there is no where
we could add them. So i got two of these
& they stand on the counter & hold the hand towels to hang.
I store rolled hand towels in the bottom part.

But for now it seems to function very well to hold
the rolls of "yarn" (i have trouble calling that stuff yarn,
it really is not like yarn at all) to keep it from tangling too much.
