Public: The latest in knitted wear (pictures!)

Dec 22, 2005 15:45

I--and my knitting needles--have been busy. I have been knitting nearly every day (even on vacation!), trying to fulfill the orders for hats and scarves I've been commissioned to make, plus create all the Christmas presents I want to give. Everything is done now, just in time for Christmas. It's a good thing I love knitting so much ( Read more... )

Wow, all of those are beautiful! Especially the set you made for yourself--it looks so soft and cuddly. =)

(Bethany was wearing her scarf when I met her, btw, so I have seen your work in person and it's every bit as good as the pictures! I wish I had time to take up knitting.)

Thanks. :-) Yes, my set is sooo soft and cuddly. I am quite in love with that yarn.

Knitting is not difficult. It should only take you a few hours to learn. You have a few hours, right? :-)

(She wore it? Delight! :-D I am quite pleased. That means that since she opened the gift, I can now post a picture of it. :-)

LOL, I was just about to comment and tell Melinda that she left one out.

I woudl say thank you, Mellie dear, but I have this thing about writing actual thank you notes first. :-|

melyndie December 22 2005, 23:19:06 UTC

I left more than one out. ;-) Waiting for people to open their gifts.... :-)

Haha, I have the same thing too. People think their gifts got lost in the mail on the way to me because I remain silent on them until I can get a note out. But it's more fun that way! :-)

Those are really beautiful! Way to make a gorgeous, wearable item out of that hideous sweater. I really love the cabled scarf and hat, especially. :)

melyndie December 22 2005, 23:17:40 UTC

I agree. That sweater is greatly improved as a scarf. :-)

Yowsers! You are one busy girl!! LOL Nice job, Melinda. I've been doing quite a bit of crochetting over here on my end, too. Thank goodness school's out! ;-)

jennymae December 22 2005, 23:07:10 UTC

Oh, and I think the names you pick out for your finished products are perfect!! LOL

melyndie December 22 2005, 23:16:41 UTC

LOL thanks. I put a lot of thought into the names. Sometimes they have something to do with the project, and sometimes they have something to do with when/where I knit the item. Oliver, for example, was knit while I watched Oliver Twist. :-)

jennymae December 22 2005, 23:22:23 UTC

The ones I thought were REALLY fitting were Dennis and Denise, Emmy, and Ruby.

Wow, Melinda, you really have been busy! Your projects look lovely. Merry Christmas to you!

melyndie December 22 2005, 23:44:40 UTC

Thank you! :-)

mandajanie December 22 2005, 23:49:08 UTC

Nice stuff!! :)

And yeah, that sweater looked horrid before you made it into a scarf. ;)

melyndie December 23 2005, 00:24:47 UTC

I was wondering what the cashier thought of me purchasing such a horrible sweater. ;-) It was really hard to get on for that picture. The sleeves are really weird, not to mention the neckline. :-P

mandajanie December 23 2005, 01:16:07 UTC

Yeah, the neckline is defintiely not good. Or, rather, was defintiely not good. ;)
