Soaring Eagles Project

I started another pair of mittens this weekend. This is the Warmest Mittens pattern, and I’m actually using DPNs! It’s always so awkward for me when I first start out, but after a few rows it’s gotten better.

I know December is only a week away, and most of you are knitting/crocheting crazily away on holiday gifts. But, if anyone is interested in some charity knitting, please check out the Soaring Eagles Project! We are knitting mittens and slippers for Elementary school children and it appears there won’t be enough items for each of the children I’m really hoping to make more mittens than I originally planned on, but I’ve been in a bit of a knitting funk lately, so I’m not sure if I’ll make it or not. If you are interested in knitting for this project, all items need to be mailed to Oklahoma by December 17th. Thanks for checking this out. If you can even make one pair of mittens or slippers, it would be greatly appreciated

By the way, I did finish the Cat Blanket last week, but I haven’t taken a picture of it yet. I didn’t really want to hurt your eyes with the crazy colors again

Happy Thanksgiving!

Knitting Projects

Sorry for the lack of posts recently; I haven’t been knitting very much lately But, I do have a few projects to show you that I’m working on right now.

These mittens are for the Soaring Eagles Project. I participated in this charity last year and made some hats. This year we’re knitting mittens and socks/slippers. I decided to knit mittens because I figured I’d be able to finish them faster and be able to get more done. Of course, that means I actually need to knit a bit more often than I have been!

The next charity project is the Friends of Frasier Fur Project which will benefit the Cat Care Society and the Good Samaritan Pet Center. Colorful Yarns is participating in this charity, which is where I got the yarn for this cat blanket (thanks Tiffany!).

I know, totally hideous colors, but, the cats seem to like it (which is the most important thing):

Plymouth Yarn Encore Mega Colorspun in Pinks/Purples

And finally, my last project is…another scarf! Nachaele invited me to join her, Kelly and Sam to knit on Wednesday night. The only problem was that I hadn’t brought any knitting with me that day! Obviously, that wasn’t very hard to resolve:

Malabrigo in Bijou Blue (Thanks, Nachaele!)

And, Nachaele got each of us a fun pair of socks!

He he he…
