On the needle week 2

This week was one of those weeks that zoomed by, but at the same time it took so long to get to Friday. One more week of work and then it will be time to play with my new camera.
On to the subject of the post. What I have on my needles has not changed much this week. I do have pictures this time, so that will make a more enjoyable post.
The first item is the cap for soldiers that I got about half way done.


I did finish the right fingerless mitts that is a gift for a special friend. The pattern is on ravelry called 'Queen Lucy's fingerless mitts' .


 The next thing that I have on the needles but have not worked on for a couple of weeks is a shrug that I hope to finish before next weekend. The yarn is amazing by Lion Brand, its very pretty but not sure if I like working with it. I hope I have enough yarn. I am already on the second ball and I have not gotten any further than about 4". The pattern is also on ravelry, its called 'mockingbird shrug'.

 

The other project that I mentioned last week that are also sitting for me to pick up again, is a shawl called 'easy knit shawl'.









And the last is a pair of socks that I am doing for my daughter. This is the first time I 've done them two at a time and I can say that I like doing it this way. Don't have to worry about if the second sock will be the same size and the stripes will match. Just have to turn the heel and add a small ribbing cuff on the top. So those will be done. Thanks for looking and I hope everyone if able to doing alot of knitting and some quilting this weekend. Stop over to Judy's patchwork times blog and see some other knitting projects that others' are doing in blog land.

On the needle week 1

I so enjoy looking at all the inspirations that I get from Judy's 'On the needle fridays' that I thought I would join in. Maybe it will help me to get my knitting project done and not start a new one before the last knitted project is finished. At the present time I have 5 projects started. The only picture that I have is the caps of soldiers. I just start it a couple of days ago.
The other projects are fingerless gloves that is a gift, so no picture till given, a pair of plain jane socks for my daughter, a shrug that I really hope will turn out, and a shawl. Hopefully I will finish one of them this weekend and have a picture for you next week.
Thanks for stopping by have a great weekend.
