Top Ten Tuesday: Knitting


My blog has been so quiet lately! I've been taking some time to work on things, so I haven't been online much. Hopefully we'll be in more of a routine soon, and I'll be able to write - I miss it!

For today, I'm participating in Top Ten Tuesday at OhAmanda.com.

Top Ten Things I Want to Knit:

1. Mittens
- I have some great self-striping yarn that I would love to use to make mittens for Wendy. I just need to find a pattern or figure it out on my own.

2. New Hat for David - I made him a hat a couple of weeks ago, and I love it, but it is too small. It barely fits him, so I'd like to make the same pattern again and make it bigger.



3. New Hat for Wendy - I don't think Wendy has a warm hat that fits right now, and I need to get working on that!

4. David's Blanket - I started a blanket for David the day we found out he was a boy, and I haven't finished it yet! Other projects have taken over. I really need to get on it & finish it up so that he can use it this winter.

5. An iPod Cozy - I saw this pattern on Ravelry, and I'm pretty sure I could adapt it for my iPod. If you knit - these would probably make good Christmas gifts!

6. Sweater for Wendy - now that I am back in the habit of knitting & have learned some new skills, I'd like to tackle a sweater. I've never made a sweater before, but I think I can do it. All I need is the right yarn & enough time to get it done!

7. Jumper/Dress for Wendy - I have this pattern saved in my queue (I like to use that word whenever possible) on Ravelry, and Steph at Adventures in Babywearing wrote about it last week. I like the fact that the pattern is knit from the top down, so that you can add length as your girl grows - Wendy is growing so fast, it's hard to keep her in dresses that are long enough.

8. Pillow covers - we could really use some pillows for our couch & floor, and I'm sure I could knit something that I would like a lot better than what I've seen in the stores.

9. Socks - I would love to knit a pair of socks! It looks a little complicated, but I think once I finished one, I'd be able to do them pretty quickly.

10. Christmas presents - and since some of the recipients might read my blog, that's all I'm going to say about THAT.

Are you a knitter or crocheter? What's in your list of projects?

Scarves and ponchos are the limit of my knitting experience. I love the idea of an iPod cover/cozy!

I knitted about 6 inches of a scarf once. I'm in awe of anyone that can actually knit CLOTHES...wearable CLOTHES! :)

Good for you! I look forward to crocheting again someday soon. just haven't been able to fit into my life with all the other balls that I've been juggling.

Thanks for the comment on my blog! :)

I taught myself how to knit and crochet in high school, but I was never patient enough to really stick with it. Even now I have a baby blanket partially crocheted that I started before my daughter (23 mos) was born. :) That's why I sew...you get the end result faster. :)

I'm knitting a blanket shawl for my mom, a cabled sweater for Little Joe (Joey, but don't call him that anymore- too big.), and walls and turrets for a castle for the boys for Christmas. I still have to finish the trees I've knitted for them as well.
