Where has to time gone?

It is June as I type this. I didn't realize so long of time has passed since I posted. I am sorry. This year has been one of a challenge for my family. Various health issues seemed to have hint several of my family including me. 2012 is turning into a year I just wish would go away. I have had a few good time with my buds. I am grateful to have my special friends because without them I don't know where I would be.

Now that does not mean I have not done any knitting. I have been busy with my projects. I have been working on dishcloths again. The idea is I have pretty cotton yarn that deserves to be knitted and if I can make 2 or 3 a month then I have Christmas gifts for friends and family. This one and the next one are grandmas favorite but you slip stitches. I really like this pattern.

This next one is a mitered square. I like the stripe yarn for this pattern. I can see I will do more.

I also decided to do a scarf again. This yarn is a tweed yarn. I love the yarn but can tell ya it is a pain in the behind to knit with. I have 2 more skeins and I am thinking it will be a critter for someone.

Last but not least I have been doing socks. In looking at this post I have other socks done just didnt share. Oh well. This is a basic sock pattern. My go to pattern actually. The yarn is from a favorite website of mine. I have a thing about stripe yarns with socks. I so like how these turned out too. I have other colors and will be knitting more soon.

I guess that is it for now. There is 6 months left for this year and I am wondering what will happen. I am grateful for friends and family as well as my knitting to keep me sane.

2012 So far...

The first posting of the year. In this young year of 2012 I can say things are not great so far. I wont bore you with the details but at this point I want to go back to 2011. I do have a project to show that I finished it in time because things are getting colder around here and seems we are gonna get some snow too. This is my annual winter scarf. I dont know why but once the Christmas knitting is done I want to make a scarf for the cold months. This year was no exception. I had this pretty red swish tonal from knit picks and I had started a lace pattern but it had mistakes that I didnt like. So it got sent to the frog pond. What I ended up doing was a pattern called one row hand spun scarf. This is by the Yarn Harlot. This is my go to scarf pattern. I have made this scarf 6 times in various yarns and even given it away to people for Christmas gifts. No matter what yarn you throw at it or size of yarn it turns out great. Now on to my goals for 2012. I really don't have any goals for the year. If anything it is gonna be to finish some ufos or frog them. Maybe work on some more challenging projects. Anyway that is all for now. Hope everyone had a great holiday season. Now knit something today.
