Peartree Knitting

Hi there!

It may seem like I’ve been missing in action lately, but we’re moving this weekend and I’ve been crazy busy trying to get the new house ready and pack up our current one!

I, of course, had to leave some yarn unpacked so I could knit when I had a moment or two, and have managed to finish 2 scarves.  The only thing left to do is make pom-poms for the ends, but I’ve already packed my pom-pom maker so they will be added once I’m settled into the new house! LOL!!

I’ll be writing out the pattern for this simple scarf, so stay tuned for that.  It’s super duper easy and quick! 😀

I, unfortunately, have also packed up my camera so I can’t even share a sneak peek of these cool  scarves. 😦

Well, off to do more packing!

Hey there!

Yes, I’ve been working on the hats for our Downtown Mission, but I got a little sidetracked when I found out my husband’s co-worker was expecting her first grand baby. LOL!

Of course, I had to make a baby blanket! 😀

I decided to go with green tones as she didn’t know the sex of the baby and I thought green was a pretty gender neutral colour.

I used about 1800 yards of Stylecraft Yarns Special DK yarn (approximately 600 yards per colour) and US size 6 circular needles to hold the stitches. The blanket is about 36″ x 36″.

So now that the baby blanket is finished, it’s back to the Downtown Mission hats.

Happy knitting!

Look at this big box of wonderful yarn I just received today from YarnCanada.ca!

It’s going to be turned into hats (and maybe scarves) for our local Downtown Mission.

This year I bought a chunky yarn so the hats should knit up nice and quick!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hello everyone!

I’ve finally completed one project I’m writing a pattern for. Yay! I just have to sew it up, take photos and write out the pattern.

Here’s a sneak peek.

I’ve also started another project I’ll be writing a pattern for.  It’s a baby blanket.  It’s double knit so it will be SUPER thick. I’ve knit it on smaller needles resulting in a tight knit so those little fingers can’t get caught in it.  It’s also so cushy you can use it for a play mat.  😀

So stay tuned!  The patterns will be available on loveknitting.com, Ravelry and in my Etsy shop.

Off to get these done. 😉

Happy knitting!
