So to move on in life (and not disappoint the masses obviously), I formulated a new plan. Both of my current projects are ones that I have found patterns for online. So pictures have been posted there and I was able to snag some there. I hope that soon I will either have photos of my own progress or finished object pics. Keep your fingers crossed.
Project #1: Braided Homegirl by Roxanne Villemaire. This pattern is available for free on Ravelry. That's also where I snagged the picture from. I love the evergreen color, but I had none of that vibrant jeweled color in my stash and so I am using a Violet Purple in Caron Simply Soft. It's knitting up beautifully so far. It's a super easy pattern and I am appreciative of this as this is only my third attempt at knitting a hat.
Project #2: Big Herringbone Cowl from the Purl Bee. This project is also free on the Purl Bee website. I have been working on this project off and on for a long time, but can't seem to finish it. I started it a little late in the season last winter and didn't finish before the weather changed. I picked it back up this fall and have been working on it here and there. I am anxious to get this project OFF the needles! Mainly because I want to snuggle up with it this winter. I would have loved to have used the yarn suggested, but that would have cost about $80. I love me some scarfs, but that's a lot of love. I'm using a lovely shade of light grey from a Martha Stewart yarn. It's luxuriously soft and a wonderful color.
Come back and see my next week on Wednesday for an update on my latest projects and see if I made any progress!
