Busy Busy!

As you can see, I have a lot of projects currently going. I'm going to list them off so that everyone will know what I'm working on and when. I generally work on two projects at a time that way I'm not too bored. :)

1. Items for my class (done with hat and scarf, need to finish mittens)

2. Stephanie's capris (I intend to start on Monday, hope to be done the Friday before Thanksgiving)

3. Hat for me (will start after my items for class)

4. Mittens for me

5. Scarf for me

My scarf, hat, and mittens should only take 6 nights at most. Especially if I'm working on longies during the day. My goal is to get Stephanie's capris done before Thanksgiving week and only do personal knitting and crocheting from the Saturday before to the Sunday afterwards. I will be out of town Black Friday thru Sunday so very little work will get done then. I intend to pack pieces of an afghan (Christmas gift for my mom) and knit longies for Caymen as items to work on during that week and while I'm out of town. I want to have all of these other projects done before that. After returning, I will work on other customs, Christmas gifts, and a second hat for Josh (yep, he wants a non-work knit hat).

I am getting my financing in order to get lisenced for crocheted longies in the next week or so. I'm very excited and happy that this is coming together so neatly. I will also have the financing available to purchase the Freckle knit longie lisence and several other patterns to try out. I'm looking at the Hudson Hat, Ridinghood Sweater, Sleuthing Hoodie, and the several gorgeous patterns from Sweet Mama Small Sugar. :) I'd like to get lisenced for at least one other thing, but the money tree is limited.

In other new, Miss A's longies are finished! They are currently drying and I love them. I hope Miss A and her mama do also. :)

Update!

I'm still working on Miss A's longies. I hope to have them done sometime tomorrow and then I'll wash and hopefully send by the weekend. I think they are turning out beautifully.

Here is a picture of my daughter modeling her first hat by me! I knit this using the Ky Baby Knits Ear Cozy Hat Pattern and it's a bit big on Caymen, but still very gorgeous. The colorway is Fairyblue Dyes & Knits Peppermint Patty and the hat is part of a set with crochet longies.

I am officially the Sandusky Pat Catan's crochet instructor. I have 3 projects to make this week as part of my display (I'm doing a hat, scarf, and mittens) and I'm teaching the first three Sundays in December from 1:30-3:30. I'm very excited to start and teach others about crochet.

Knit Hat Complete!

I finished my very first knit project yesterday at class. The hat for Josh is done! It fits him well and is exactially what he wanted (which is always a good thing). It also helped me practice knitting in the round, which is how I'll knit longies, shorties, soakers, etc! I just casted on a Ky Baby Knit's Ear Cozy Hat for Caymen, which I hope to have done by the end of the week.
