I finished up these hand knits yesterday. They are for my friend + neighbor, Mary. A pair of toasty mitts (pattern here) and a scarf (pattern here). I am not a good knitter, but I can see that I am making progress. I actually knit thumbs! Woo-hoo!
I'll be away from my blog for the rest of the week. (Well, I'm going to try to.) My kids and my husband are off on spring break and we are knee deep in a bathroom remodel. It's going to be such a fun way to spend our "vacation". :) Have a great week!
i love the little hand knits!!
ReplyDeletei hope you have a great week with your hubby and kids. sounds like it will be busy!!
we'll miss you. :)
The knits look great! Enjoy the week off with your family!
ReplyDeleteThumbs are hard -- you can't be that much of a beginner! They both look great. Good luck on the bathroom!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I think you will have your hands full with a bathroom remodel. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing! Now, repeat after me...I am a good knitter, I am a good knitter, I am a good knitter. :) have a fun "vacation"!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the re-model!
ReplyDeleteFabulous knits! Enjoy your work-cation ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the break (I do hope you really take one, but I know how the blog can lure one away from vacation). I'm looking forward to seeing before and after shots of the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteCute projects! Glad you have a plan for the bento boxes :) Enjoy your week with the fam and that dated bathroom!

ReplyDeletenice job on the knitting!
ReplyDeleteNice thumbs, amandajean! They look great.
ReplyDeleteYour knitted projects look fabulous -- way to go. I'm a new knitter also and just completed that very same scarf. Have fun with the remodel.
ReplyDeleteThose look great! If I only knew how to knit....... :-D
ReplyDeletelove the projects. will miss you this week. please, please show pictures of the bathroom! i can't wait. if we were neighbors, my husband could help. he is a plumber!!the men could work, and we could quilt:)

ReplyDeletea bathroom renewal? that sounds terrible!!

biquiños
but of course the scarf also looks great!!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you quilt AND knit. Two things which I need to learn to do.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week "off."
Hi, I just found your blog and wanted to say how much I like your quilts. I am trying out the baby bib with some fabric I designed recently. Sewing a wriggly line is a steep learning curve but fun!
ReplyDeleteThey look great. Did Mary like them. I thought I saw her try them on and then hug you.:) So my guess is yes!! GREAT JOB!!! And you are a good knitter!!
ReplyDeletegreat knits. have a good week!
ReplyDeleteI like the bento box quilt without the brown best. And good job on the new knitted thumbs!! And I've missed seeing you lately. And I am so glad it's springing outside. And I would love to get together with you one of these days. And I hope you are getting a chuckle out of this note...at least a smile. And...and...and.... : )
ReplyDeleteGoodness! This is how I started! You featured those fingerless gloves last year and now I quilt...stop... you will make a knitter out of me too.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff as usual.
Your knits look great!
ReplyDeleteHope your reno goes quickly and without any surprises. :)
Beautifully knit!
ReplyDeletegood luck with the remodel!
ReplyDeletelove your new knits...I really like that scarf pattern
