2012 Super Bowl Scarf

After searching, and knitting, and tinking and frogging, (click on "tinking and frogging" to find out what that means), I finally came up with a pattern for my 2012 Super Bowl Scarf.  It uses garter, stockinette, and the chain stitch.  I have 5 inches completed of the required 76-100 inches.  Even though I don't like ice storms...having one here in Indiana gave me 3 days off teaching to concentrate on knitting, (In between grading papers and having fun with my children!).

If you want to join the fun and knit a scarf for a Super Bowl volunteer see my earlier blog on where to find specific instructions for knitting a scarf.  Not a lot of time?  Knit up an easy garter stitch scarf.

The Eyelet Square Dishcloth

Isn't this the prettiest little dish/face cloth you have ever seen?  Hate to mess it up.  The pattern was sent through my Knitting Daily email and is from the book, 150 Knit & Crochet Motifs.  If you want to receive emails that have great knitting tips and knitting "eye candy"  subscribe by going to this link:  http://www.knittingdaily.com/.

Trapeze Jacket




I am so excited with my finished Trapeze Jacket!  It is very warm.  Now my sisters both want one.  You can find the pattern in the book GlamKnits by Stefanie Japel.  This is a top-down knit that is pretty quick and easy.  It uses a "Fishtail" knitting pattern.
