Tote Exchange

Received my international tote exchange partner assignment this week, am looking forward to knitting a non-felted (gasp) purse for once. Been teaching myself crochet this week, will post pictures of my finished projects soon. Also am in the midst of a open front cardigan which is knitting up quickly.

Using up my yarn

I finally finished off these 3 skeins with another purse...

scarves

Last winter I made myself the colorful scarf shown here to jazz up my brown winter coat.






Recently, I knitted this feather and fan scarf

Second sweater

After I gained confidence from baby bear sweater I progressed to a real sized project..

One of my first knitting projects

This sweater was one of the first things I knit, I started small !

Selection of knitted socks

Thought I'd share some of my old knitting projects, I was on a sock kick for a while, made myself and relatives slipper socks.
