Peace Fleece yarn for Coco's hat!



Fuzzy "Chickie" Feet...they remind me of Peeps! See Bess' blog for full details!



And here is Monkey-Bear....made from Mr. Bean pattern buuuttt kinda reminds me of a monkey.

Fuzzy "Chickie" Feet are completed! Felted very nicely too. I knit a third one to take with me to the school for knitting demo. I think the kids will get a kick out of them...I do!

The yarn for Coco's Braided Beaded Hat arrived yesterday from Peace Fleece.

Pictures were taken of all and I would post them BUT the batteries died and I can't seem to locate the "so I'll remember where it is" place I stored the electrical cord to the camera.

Preparing for a knitting demonstration at a local elementary school on Friday. 800 plus students..ack! So I've gotten together small items that I've knitted along with lots of different needles and yarns. And I picked up some beads last night to play around with. I understand there will be quite a few demonstrations of different "arts"... bobbin lace, spinning, felting, basket weaving and quilting.

This Saturday, The Frances Land House in Virginia Beach (www.vbmg.org/history.htm) is hosting A Gathering of the Guilds . It's a fun day for the family. Our guild will be represented as will quilters, blacksmith, bee keeping, etc. Oh, it's free!

Fuzzy Feet 1 is completed and the heel is turned and gusset complete on number 2. Was able to complete all but the last few rows on a 16" circular. Then using a second circular I made a nice toe.

Ordered yarn from Peace Fleece for my friend Coco's Braided Beaded Hat.

Dale SLC grabs my ankle every time I pass the sofa. There it sits in it's basket wanting to be finished...maybe this weekend...maybe not.

Received my copy of Easy Knitting and Crochet....this month it seems to be more crochet...glad it was my last subscription issue. I mean I do crochet but I subscribed for the Knitting....the v-necked vest is cute and the article on beading looked pretty good at a quick glance....I'll have to study more....

"MINE"

"Mine" is completed! The interfacing has stopped the curling. I love my hat.

Began a pair of Fuzzy Feet. Began the toe decreases on the first one and so far have been able to do all on a 16" circular. Will go to two circular's in a few rows. I'm using a bright yellow wool that I bought from ebay. Reminds me of baby chicks or ducks....might have to put a pair of wiggly eyes on 'em!

"Mine" is off the needles and is sporting a cute beaded tassle. I wore it while watching tv last night. Toasty warm!

I thought the pattern was printed out of order. The designer says to bind off, add the tassle/beads to the top and then there are instructions for an interfacing of an inch. After wearing it an hour or so I think I undertand why the interfacing is needed. I believe it is to keep the first braid from rolling up when you move your head, which it did. I'll pick up and knit the interfacing next and see how it does.

The next one I make...and I'm sure I will...I'll do a provisional cast on vs. picking up the stitches.

Although not finished, the Peace Fleece Beaded Braided Hat (which I lovingly call "Mine") was the hit of the Guild meeting Monday night. (The Knitting Guild of Virginia, if you're interested). Ladies who have completed the most complicated Norwegians and Kaffe's I've ever seen were facsinated by the braid. Gloat over...hahahaha.

Only a few more rows before I finish her. B needed some TLC last night so I indulged him and only got in a few rows.

As for the scarf....it sits.
