Knitting Progress!

Lots of us quilters seem to be starting up knitting again! I got started with Aine's scarf in August and finally got this hat done yesterday to match it. It was way to wide for her, despite having checked long the way for correct measurements etc, oh well! I fudged a better fit for her, and while not totally pleased with it, am happy enough.
While unpacking more boxes this week, I found a knitting project that should have been a sweater, but it stalled about 10 years ago and I eventually turned it into a pillow! It is a design with two trees intertwined, a sorta romantic symbol of our upcoming wedding at the time...boy did I learn a lot about cable stitches then!

I nearly finished sewing my last border together, I hope to start sewing it onto the quilt at my patchwork group tomorrow...

Need to start thinking about crazy quilting soon, I start my online class this weekend! Posted by Picasa

Great job with your knitting, that cable pattern looks really hard! Aine looks very happy with her hat and scarf, the kids love feathers wool here!

The hat and scarf look great, and well appreciated. I really like the cables, and I think turning a UFO jumper into a cushion is truly inspired.

Aine is precious with that smile and hat and scarf.......

The tree pattern looks just the thing for a rainy afternoon and a pot of tea.

Your knitted tree sweater turned pillow is Great! Lots of detail, for sure. And - looks like you have a happy fan of your knitting skills with that soft looking yarn!

Cheers!
