What's on the needles?

This is my new knitting diary. It is supposed to be a place for me to celebrate my successes, but also learn from my failures. Hopefully it will also encourage me to actually finish more of the projects I start!

Currently, I am working on several projects which I need to get wrapped up in the near future.


This is the start of the Companion Mitts designed by Kathleen Taylor of Dakota Dreams . I am making these for my sister-in-law for her birthday, so I've got to get them finished before October.


This is a version of the Basic sweater from Jacqueline Fee's book, the Sweater Workshop for Amelia. I need to get this done before it gets cold.


Here is another Basic sweater for Penelope, our expected baby. I'd like her to be able to wear it home from the hospital in November after she arrives.


This is a sweater for my Mother-in-Law. It is a design by Susan Adkins, the owner of Susan's Yarn Garden. The design is called Grandma Jones Lacey Top-Down Sweater. This has been a blast to knit so far. I've just got to get the miles of stockinette done and the sleeves before it gets chilly.


Last but not least, this is the first of a pair of Girlfriend's Best Anklets, by KnitPicks. These are for my Stepmother, just because! Hopefully someday I'll get all of this stuff actually finished.
