On My Needles...

This week hasn't been the most productive knitting week because I've been flirting with this-

Yes, that is crochet! I'm getting close to finishing a doily as well--pictures will follow. I'm rather pleased with how I've been able to follow the pattern so far with relitivly little problems. I think I'm going to make a pair of roses and make earrings out of them. Of course I have to finish the doily first...

I also finished the "Hope" sweater last week.

This wasn't made for anyone in particular, but rather just to have on hand in hopes that someday SOMEONE I know will have a baby and need a handknit item.

I love the simplicity and elegance of the design--more of these will surely follow.

In other knitting news, I also made my first ever knitted lace bookmark!

As you might be able to see in this pictures, my homemade startch worked beyond my wildest dreams and I ended up with a bookmark that was quite literally "stiff as a board." I'll have to keep that in mind...

What's on YOUR needles?
