Jo Knits!

FFFA

After two days of being too busy to even touch my needles, it's been nice to sit down and knit! :) My hands were getting very eager to grab the needles and advance on a project. Why not celebrate my time to knit by starting a new project, so I did just that.

First I had to finish off the DPN's I needed for this new project, which took only a few minutes as two were already made. I simply sharpen the edges of my pre-cut dowel pieces with a pencil sharpener and sanded them to super smooth. They are sooooo soft and I didn't even oil, varnish or wax them. Maybe I should but for now they are really pleasant to my hands. :)

So I cheated and started the FFFA, better known as the Fuzzy Feet Felt-Along! It's officially starting on Feb. Forth but being a slow knitter, I decided to start early. Also I'm just too eager to wait. LOL! I want to get these done as soon as possible! :) I already have an order for another pair from dh so I'll be busy making slippers for a while. For all the info pertaining this felt-along, check out Kate's FFFA page:

I just turned the heel, under the slipper you can see my new KIP bag, bought it for a buck today. You can even see the Lopi band peeking through the bag. ;) You can see my extra long DPN's there too, I made them long so I can recycle them as straight needles after if needed.

I also knitted half of the body of Zoe's sweater, Homespun yarn from Lion Brand is amazingly soft. I haven't had the chance to knit with fancy yarns yet but this really is a pleasure to knit with! A real treat even! :)

I tried to convert my page into a weblog, so you can see many entries on one page but it seems to mix up this template so I'll try again in a few days.

My friend Crystal just learned she is pregnant!!! Lucky her, she can start knitting baby stuff. ooooh aaaah! ;)
