Latest Knit!

I thought I'd share my latest knit project today! Cockeye (aka Debbi Stone of BMFA/SockSummit Show Goddess) started her own line of knit designs-TheStitches of My Life Knit Designs. She now has several gorgeous designs available-one free one offered is Patricia, which i' knit two of. In case I didn't shre that earlier, Here you go...



Quick and so pretty!

When I saw her latest release, KnitNight-I just HAD to knit one! NOW. of course, it helped that I had just purchased a skein of KnittedWit's Bling yarn at Stitches West that had been sitting, waiting to be knit into something lovely!

One of the samples used for KnitNight was knit from Knitted Wit's Bling-doesn't get more perfect than that!

So I am now onto the final border! I can't wait to finish-it is gonna be beautiful! And the unexpected part of using Bling? I love knitting with the actual yarn base! Admittedly, the major pull for purchasing it was the unique color on the silver-glitzed fingering base. I'm not even sure if I realized it has silk in it!

Once I started knitting with Bling, I knew I was making something special with some special yarn! It has a wonderful softness combined with a strength and stretch (must be the added bit of nylon)-and I adore the color! Doesn't hurt that the main base is merino with that bit of silver sparking through



I've now started on the final border that is absolutely delighting me-it is so pretty!



Hope to be done by next week! And hoping to find a perfect dress to coordinate with it so I can wear it to an upcoming wedding!

By the way, if you and your knit grou or friends want to knit this as a KAL, Cockeyed is offering 10% off on 6 or more copies! Now's the time to HAVE AT IT!

Phone Bloggin' Pt 2

So Disco asked what app I'm using. The last post was a freebie app called BlogWriter lite. Free, so limited-only allows writing.

The paid version is $1.99, but if I'm gonna pay, I figure I need to read some reviews and get an app with a higher rating.

I'm now trying out Blogpress. I think it was designed for Blogger, so what the heck-$1 more at $2.99, but thought I'd try it out. I fear I am not falling into my "I must have money"
attitude!

So, if I can figure it out, there will be a photo or two in this post.

I just discovered the cutest
washcloth patterns by Theresa L Jones of Mysondexter Designs. They are so clever-fruit-shaped fruits, dog face, kitty face-- many not the standard square/rectangle. So naturally I had to get the pear,peach and tulip patterns! She offers a free flip flops washcloth design, as well. Too, too cute!

And here, a pic of aforementioned Ocean Breezes hat-pre-blocking. I'll have to add a post-blocked finished pic once I get the buttons on!

WHOA! Bloggin' by phone!

So I don't blog nearly as often as I had in the past and since I tend to be long-winded, don't expect this to change things much, but I just got my blogging phone app to work!

Now to figure out if I can load pictures at the same time-I know how we all feel about the visuals!

Still knitting, with Lethal's "Ocean Breezes" hat a recent completion and Cockeyed's (Debbi Stone) Stitches of My Life Designs' new "Knit Night" the most recent cast-on! The KnittedWit's BLING yarn is absolute heaven to knit with and I am completely loving this project!

That's the current update. Now-off to see if I can figure out links and pics!
