Knits, 2

Wanted to post pictures of what I have been knitting during this pregnancy.
I brought this orange yarn last fall, and held onto it until I knew I was pregnant again. Then as soon as I knew, before I announced it to everyone, I started knitting this baby blanket.

Thankfully it didn't take me too long to make because once I hit 7-8 weeks, I could no longer knit as it made me feel more nauseous than I already was. So I had a dry knitting spell for about 2-3 months.

I had started this bag prior to getting pregnant but it went on hold for awhile. I finally finished it and this is what it looked like before felting it.
After. It now holds my current knitting project as well as a few knitting tools, and it is perfect!
Then I made a bunch of hats, 4 of them. The first was too small (but will be perfect for the baby) and then I made one for Jake and two for Mike.

Cute boys modeling their hats.
I am working on another project, and this baby is certainly giving me time to finish it, I am so close!

Lee's Knitting!

This past fall I took up knitting. My grandma had taught me when I was 12 or 13, and I made a scarf or 2, but haven't done anything since. Having lots of good friends who are avid knitters and who promised to help when needed, I started again.

First I did one of those standard scarves, but after I completed it, I discovered it was way too scratchy. Wrong yarn. Now I know. (No picture of the beautiful, sad, red scarf.)

Then I finished this one. When I started knitting again, I asked my family if there were any knitting needles not being used that I could have. As luck had it, my sister knit in college but abandoned her needles and this project a while back. This scarf was halfway done, so I finished it and then sewed it together. I love wearing it.
Then I knit something similar for my sister, but added a pattern into it. (Amy, I'm sending it to you tomorrow!)
Then I worked on my first hat and just finished it. It was to be for me, but it is too small! Live and learn, right?
But it is VERY cute on my boy. I have more of this same yarn so I think I'll make another one for me and be sure to make it bigger this time!
