attack of the USO’s

Posted in August, Knitting tagged at 5:08 am by myknittedempire

my Darling Husband put it nicely: “you seem to have been doing USO’s not UFO’s” A USO is apparently an un-started object, something I have the yarn for but have not yet started.

I thought that it was aptly put.

I have a small plan to finish 4 UFO’s for the UFO Olympics and what do I do?? I start a scarf for my mum and a pair of baby socks for my impending baby…..

oh dear.

Stashalong 2008

Too funny, I have lost my mind, i forgot it was even still 2008!!!

I have been very diligent at knitting from the stash, and have only bought yarn for particular gift projects. But considering my commitment at the moment i think it would be wise to bid this group adieu…

Mystery Stole 4

I am so excited, have signed up for MS4! yay.

i have done my gauge swatch and now have to pick some beads. I am super excited as Georgina Bow patterns are always such beautiful designs.

I had a moment of madness where i thought i could knit this for myself to wear to a friends wedding, but then i realised that with the speed of my knitting at the moment then it would be best not to put any unrealistic expectations on myself and just enjoy the process.

I was going through my knitting box in the lounge room this morning and realised I have quite a few UFO’s.

I then added my name to the UFO olympics ravelry page, I know I have missed the sign up date, but I can pretend I am a part of it…

I am planning to finish 4 UFO’s

I need to wash block and put buttons and snaps on my baby grow bag

Time flies

Posted in August, Knitting tagged , at 3:01 am by myknittedempire

Well time flies when you are having fun, are dead tired.

I really don’t know what happened to July at all! Yes i think I can confirm that pregnancy makes you too tired to even knit.

Trying to rememberwhat i have done, hmmmm, what have i done????

I knitted a beanie and two sets of booties for my BF’s baby Will.

Beenie for Will

I knitted a Zodiac Grow Bag from Knitty.
I used up all my scraps of cotton and i am fairly happy with how it turned out. The picture isn’t good as it hasn’t been washed so the stitches aren’t sitting even and it hasn’t had its buttons put on yet.
I think i could make another one of these.

Baby hats

Posted in Knitting at 2:48 am by myknittedempire

I found some energy on the weekend and knitted two baby hats, they are using the “Easiest Baby hat” pattern from Katinka Knits. they knit up in just a few hours. I put in a turning row at the top to give it a more definitecrease, and added tassels for fun.
