Ketchup

Some FOs and WIPs.
This is the One Day Beret I started last week. It would have been a one day project if I could count! All the modifications and info is on Ravelry. I'll need to make another one for my daughter.This is another BSJ. I am teaching a class at my LYS, starting last night, and I knitted the first section to stay one class ahead of the students. One is a very new knitter and the other an experienced knitter that just needed someone to walk her through the pattern the first time. I'm using a strand of fuzzy dk yarn and a strand of sock yarn. I think it's coming out nicely. Makes most of the bright sock yarns more "pastelly". This is my Confetti Sweater. It's a simple Top Down Raglan Cardi. I'm using bits and pieces of yarn I found in my stash. Most are heavy ww to bulky. Some boucle and chenille, too, to add texture and interest. I'm almost ready to put the sleeves on a stitch holder to continue the body of the sweater. I'm enjoying it and have found that specialty yarns are much easier to knit with than to crochet with.
We're all adjusting to the first week of school, setting schedules and all that stuff.

With the help of Michelle steering me to information here I was able to put a pic in the text of my blog! Of course I had to open a Flickr account, but it's a small price to pay to be able to put pics in the text of my blog!

BTW, this is a pic of my granddaughter wearing the beret I made for her mother in October. It's made of superwash wool that I dyed with Kool Aid after it was finished. Strawberry/Watermelon I think.
