What's on your Needles?

I have (as always) lots of new patterns I can't wait to try. 

Knitted tie http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L10390.html



I want to knit up at least 2 or 3 to start and see how my son and the neighbor next door like them. 

Next... I want to knit up some beaded bracelets...you, you read that right - knitted bracelets!  That reminds me...I need to go find my bead needle, beads and other supplies.  Looks like a nice afternoon to site outside and string beads.  http://knitting.about.com/od/reviews/fr/beaded-bracelets-knit.htm  I picked up this book and it's looks like fun!

Then...my big big big project!  This amazing sweater.  I saw it in Vogue Knitting recently.  I put it down...and yet I can't stop thinking about it!  It's called "Inversion Theory" and there is no "right" way to wear it.  There is no real top or bottom as you can wear it either way!  It's quite an advanced pattern but I don't see anything in it that I can't do. 


Now, what are you working on?

Birdhouses Galore!

Wow...I've just finished listing a ton of birdhouses in my Etsy & 1000 Markets stores.

I still have 7 more to list! But no more tonight.

These are fun to make. I do a step at a time. Knit bases. Knit roofs. Full (felt). Shape. Air dry. Needle felt. Pick twigs for perch. Stuff. Add ribbon. Take pics.

19 times over. No, really. Do each step 19 times before going on to the next!

Please, if you know a bird lover or a felt lover or a Christmas ornament nut, send 'em over!
