Found a nice pattern in a British knitting book. It is a poncho with 3 cables up the center front and back and a large cowl neck.

I needed something new to do to keep my hands busy and away from the food.

Not sure how to post pictures on here.

    I am working on a lace summer shawl is Paton's Lace Sequin Black yarn. My local Meijer had it on sale so I bought 4 skeins of it. I always wanted a nice lace shawl for cool summer nights!

    Baby clothes mostly :blushing:
    Actually I'm working on a hat that looks cupcake like for my little sister's little girl, due in September. I'm excited about how it's turning out, but I'm short some pick yarn and a longer pair of round needles. Michael's here I come :heart:

    I am desperately trying to get the Lion Brand Raglan Cardi finished up. I joined the KAL on Rav. I'm so close! Just have to sew up the arm holes and do the front ribbing. I'm hoping to be able to wear it to work next week.

    Hi, guys!

    I'm working on a Tau shawl (as in, it's half a Pi shawl, lol), a pair of plain vanilla top-down socks, and I'm crocheting the Baby Reims Quilt. I've got a few spinning projects in progress, too. :)

    I am really short of projects at the moment but I have been spinning yarn - keeps my fingers busy :)

    the last yarn I spun is an art yarn and I have added felted flowers into the yarn as it was spun - that will be used in a weaving project I have in mind

    might spin some yarn and do the elizabeth zimmermans baby surprise jacket

    Not quite knitting (or crochet) I'm making pom-poms for a nursery/infant school in Togo. A friend goes out there once or twice a year and he says they'll help teach counting, colour, texture and help with co-ordination (learning to catch). He goes next in July so getting as many finished as I can :O)

    I'm one of those annoying yarnistas who cannot work on one thing at a time. I think it may be physically impossible. So. on needles right now - a simple raglan, sweater for my man; a lace scarf for myself using some hand-dyed one of a kind lace weight I bought on vacation in Sedona; a crocheted Shamrock Motif afghan for my 18 year old who graduates HS next week and will take this to college with her; a shawl that has me flummoxed and two different baby blankets. About half are good "TV" watching projects. I love the felling of having these things done - -since there are so many more projects I want to start!

    I'm working on this vest: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lolita-5

    and this shawl: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rule-of-three-2

    The Lolita vest is going very fast and will be a great thing to wear at any size I happen to be, I hope!

    I am working on a light, lacey sweater (pattern is called Matcha) to wear in my overly air-conditioned office. I'm knitting it with Malabrigo sock yarn so it's a delight.

    me too! I have a Christmas sock in progress too, plus baby outfits for some of my co-workers - 3 of the young men in my office are having 2nd kids - 3 boys! And I have socks in progress for my DMil, DDil and me!! But I"m in a slump too, for whatever reason, I just haven't felt much like knitting these past couple of weeks. :ohwell:

    I have my first ever Magic Loop 2 at a time socks just about to be finished up... personally I think I need to do more with this technique because I'm not real crazy about it... I like the 2 at a time idea and I really liked the toe up because my toes on any other pair just doesn't look right.. but that Magic Loop method is more fussy to me than my tried and true DPN's... I also have a motif back vest that I'm working up.. my design just as the socks are.... I did finish up a bag this week.. I have a mitered square afghan going too... I like it because its portable... but I don't know if it will ever get done.... I have a Bear to do .. a prayer shawl to do... and 2 different beautiful yarns that I am currently looking for projects for... 400yds of one and 600 yds of the other... half the fun is the hunt for the perfect yarn and perfect pattern... :)

    I'm working on a Dr. Who scarf for my future daughter-in-law. With luck I'll have it done by Christmas. I'm not a fast knitter so I work on it as much as I can fit in every day.
  • Working on baby things mainly. Hats, booties and bereavement gowns. I donate to the local hospital. Oh, and o yeah, baby blankets as well !!

    I've been working on a crocheted granny square afghan for a couple of months now. I'm hoping to maybe sell it once it's all finished.

    I am currently working on a plastic canvas bassinet for my daughter's dollies, a granny square blanket (in blue, purple, green, and white) for my new king-sized bed, a messenger bag for a friend, a blanket for my sister for Christmas, a rainbow granny square blanket, and a throw blanket for my daughter. :laugh: Just a few things added.
  • I have the 2012 - Baby Blanket Bonanza going on at the moment. 9 baby blankets, 3 "boy" colours, 3 "girl" colours, and three "anything-goes" colours. I finished one blue and white in Bernet Pipsqueak and one pink and orange ombre in Bernat Baby Blanket. I'm working on a white/yellow/green ombre in an unknown yarn. It's tiny though, and I usually do my blankets in bulky weight yarn.

    I'm also working on a shrug to wear with my wedding dress.(http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/eleonora) I'm doing it in Bernat Satin Sparkle (ruby). I just started and restarted it a half-dozen times yesterday, and it's time to start it again. I really shouldn't knit when I'm sleepy.

    I'm working on a zombie doll for a friend's niece. It's due around x-mas time, but I'm done with the body and the limbs. Just gotta get the arms, feet, and the facial features done.

    Hi. I'm a novice knitter. I have 2 scarves I'm working on. I am so psyched about learning to knit! My daughter bought a Bea-uuu-ti-ful knitting book for me, and I'm in love with it. I've also aquired a couple more knitting books, and trying to learn the terminology. I just absolutely can not wait to try a ton of beautiful patterns that are in the book!! :D I am HOOKED on knitting!!

    All of your projects sound SOO EXCITING and WONDERFUL!! :D

    I'm working on shoulder wrap/poncho sort of thing. I've been going at it for MONTHS—since April, I think. Phew! I'm just a few inches away from being done... I want to wear it next month!

    Here's a picture from the pattern:

    I like granny squares (especially multi-colored ones). I saw this really awesome celtic knot square thing on Pinterest. Looked intimidating though. lol
  • I am working on so many things. But the good news is I've finished 2 and 3/4 projects in the last 3 days. I will finish another pair of fingerless gloves tonight and am try to make a pair of Lana Gloves before Saturday.
