The Other Hobby...Knitting

My knitting mojo came back at the end of last year.  I've knitted through the end of winter and I'm still going strong into the summer.  One thing I'm doing different this year is to keep one or two projects in my queue.  That means having the pattern and yarn on hand ready to go.  When I've completed a project, I can immediately start another one.  There's no waiting or wondering what I'm going to do next.

I've found a fascination for cotton yarns.  While I enjoy knitting with soft wool, I do find them a bit scratchy against my skin.  So I've been building my cotton yarn stash this year and well...knitting up a storm.

Here's some of the results of my knitting adventure:

A cardigan made from recycled cotton blend yarn:

A lace cape made from the same recycled cotton blend yarn:

Another cardigan made from a cotton blend yarn called Candy in Sour Apple color:

A two-tone vest made from the same Candy yarn:

I started a new knitting project last night.  A colorful tee.  This yarn color is called Sunset.  Appropriately named and such a beautiful yarn to knit with.

My final knitting projects above were taken while they were being "blocked" on the towels.  One weekend I need to setup my portable studio and take pictures of moi modeling each of the garments.

Knitting is a great stress-reliever.  It's portable.  I keep my current knitting project in my messenger bag.  Ready to go at a moment's notice.
