I love browsing Ravelry for cute patterns and ideas, and I always end up adding something to my queue. I seriously need to find a teaching job so I can buy more yarn and get started! Enjoy:

Firefly bag. The name caught my eye (I love Nathan Fillion and his tv shows), and then the pretty lace pattern pushed this guy to number one in my queue. |
|
Abigail Cardi. Knit in one piece (I despise sewing seams!), it looks light and cute. |
|
Fiona, all grown up. Yes, this is on tiny needles and would take forever to create. But it's soooooooo cute. And I have recently discovered that I actually like using tiny needles. It's the perfect summertime top/project. |
|
Looking Glass Socks. I'm in the middle of my first pair of socks, and I love them! So fast and easy to knit up. I have a feeling I'll be making a lot more in the future. |
|
Quadrat. Sideways cables! This is such a cute look, I wonder if I can pull it off? |
|
Snapdragon Flip-Top Mittens. My first real knitting project was a pair of gloves (I'm a firm believer of learning while I go?), and these mittens would be a great addition to my collection. |
|
Aubergine. I'm very much in love with this yarn and how it knit up! |
Finally, there are two knitted pairs of slippers that I can't make up my mind about! What do you think?
Believe it or not, this is only about half my queue! I want to try so many different things, as well as continue making things I enjoy, like small projects and socks. I introduced my sister to Ravelry last night, and she spent hours trying to find the perfect sweater pattern. She did!

ReplyDeleteI love this blog. I really want to try socks but am chicken. Do you have an easy pattern and are you using 4 needles or circular?
I vote for the knotted slipper. Cause they're better :)
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! Happy (belated) birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a pattern from this blog that I read. It's called Sweet Home, and it's pretty easy. There are a few cables, but the rest is just knitting and purling. I'm doing it on double pointed needles (I like them for some reason), but I know my mom has used the Magic Loop method to do socks.
Ryan, I kind of agree with you. Definitely leaning towards the knotted slippers!
