Knitting Dragonflies

I did located the yarn labels, the yarn I am using is Malabrigo , left over from making some felted clogs. The color is Apple Green. I love this yarn, I bought so much of this yarn, (a couple of years ago) and now am trying to find things to knit up the left overs. These are my husbands, before sewing on the soles. These are how they look now! I have mine done, all except sewing on the soles. The pattern is the Fiber Trends felted clog pattern , easy, but a lot of counting. I had trouble finding the soles to put on them, I finally located them at Patternworks . And it is worth buying them and putting them on. After all of the work, you will fall in love with these and use them for a long time. So haven't gotten too far on the crochet socks. I have made so many knitted socks, I am having trouble deciding if I like them. I don't know how to explain, but the whole rhythm is different. I'm having trouble getting into the flow. This is my husbands lovely fo

This link is great. I wish I had this when I made my husband's first "Sherpa hat" I made some little dancing men and they ended up looking like they all needed to go on a diet! This is from a web site call The ABC's of knitting. It has all kinds of info, from Japanese patterns, to how to's for the basic things. Lots of projects, and links also.   If you need to convert a picture, logo, etc. into a knitting pattern this is great free software . From the software info.... kpg http://sourceforge.net/projects/kpg/ is a free program that can create knitting patterns out of pictures. It can either create straight patterns or illusion patterns that only reveal the picture when viewed at an angle. The knitting patterns are simple rectangles (squares) that use simple stiches, a regular "knit stitch" and optionally a "perl stitch". The patterns can be used to create large blankets or many smaller patch-work squares suitable for makin

Yeah!!! I have one baby blanket done. Two to go. Here is what I have been doing instead of knitting....Painting, notice my dogs are "helping" and the "much marks" in the background was done by board puppies, to be repaired sometime. I am painting all of the trim in my house white. It is all painted various dark colors now. Great to try and cover. ugh.. This is my husband putting together a new aquarium stand, so he can have his desk back. LOL The door is the new color. The kitchen in the background is to transform also. Notice the bilious green, yes it really is that green, everyone who goes in there looks like they need to go to the hospital due to the green cast it gives everything. I left for work one day and told my husband I wanted the kitchen green, well he painted EVERYTHING green, trim, cabinets etc....It's a lot of look!! The top color is the what the living room will be, when I get it done.
