I love Lamb’s Pride (bulky, in this case, but I love the worsted, too). I remember when I first started knitting, there was always TONS of it around the yarn stores. It’s still there, of course, but so many other yarns jump out at me lately. Plied, sport-weight yarns, for example. But there’s always a place in my stash for this great woolly, mohairy, bulky yarn.
I’m using the stuff above for some **** for ** ****** for *********.
It’s secret Christmas knitting time, so sorry for the *’s.
Here’s another snap of a secret project. It might be clear what it is, but I will offer no details, other than that it is a fun, fun, fun and addicting knit.
The past few years, I haven’t knit many Christmas projects, but this year I’m feeling it. Are you knitting gifts? Who gets ‘em? How do you decide on a pattern for gift knitting? Just curious!
I’m popping in to say hi, but also to give you a heads up. Watch this space over the next few days for a big announcement! Hint: I am feeling the Christmas spirit big time and want to pass it along! (you will benefit even if you don’t celebrate Christmas – I promise!).
Looks like dishclothes or washclothes to me! Love to knit these! Great gift ideas too.
I just pulled out some good ol’ Lamb’s Pride today and thought the same thing! Where has all that stuff gone to?
I’m excited to see what gifts you’re knitting. I’m pretty much on an all gift knitting all the time kick right now. I plan on making lots of mittens (quick and easy) including your End of May Mittens!
I love those colors! Can’t wait to see what they turn into.
I feel like I’ve been knitting for Christmas for months and months! Everyone in my family is getting something, the boyfriend, my friends. Whew! I can’t wait until the season is over so I can get down to some serious selfish knitting!
I always knit gifts for my sisters, bro-in-law, nephew & niece because they all like getting them and say so. This year I stupidly asked in advance for color choices, in general they are a multihued bunch but this year I am making a black hat, a gray cowl and a natural shades alpaca hat so far. I need colors!!!! Good thing I have the Red Scarf project knitting going to liven things up.
Ooh…I’m a big Lamb’s Pride fan too. Can’t wait to see what you’re making.
And, is that some sort of mitered square blanket in the second photo?
I don’t have any knitting projects on my “to make” gift list this year (although I might be making a knitted thong for my sister who jokingly requested knit underwear from me).
