Who Needs More Needle? ME

Oh yes I did!!!!
I have added to my collection of Signature Needles.
On the beautiful US size 5 DPN is the start of my Garder Stitch Loop-Through Scarf. I'm 3/4 of the way through and will post pictures with all the details as soon as I finish.



Back to the amazing needles. I now have a complete set of 5 size 4,5&6 DPN.
The red single pointed are 5" US size7 Spiral caps. The yellow are 10" US size8 Teardrop Cap. Both have Stiletto points which I love to knit with. I know I will continue my collection of these beautiful needles. They make great gifts for Mothers Day, Birthdays and Christmas! I'm just saying!!!!



I finished the ever popular Calorimetry by Kathryn Schoendorf found at knitty.
I made it out of Elizabeth Austen Andes I had in my stash. It's a fast knit and I enjoy the shortrows that give it the sea creature look. I will have another on the needles soon.



Finally I have my sock yarn gloves. Made from Knit Picks sock yarn, they are warm and fit perfectly. I just love them!



When you make socks you know there is nothing like wearing a pair that is handmade. It's the same with glove! I will be casting on a new pair today.

Gloves, Needles And What Was I Thinking!

I can't seem to stop making gloves.
These are out of Knit Picks sock yarn and will be for me.
I also got some great books from Knit Pick. They are having a 40% off sale on their books!




These are not such great picture of my first Signature Needles and a case for the. I started my collection with DPNs US size 5 and 6. They're so beautiful I can't wait to start working with them. I ordered an extra 5 and 6 because it is better to have a size of 5. I also ordered a set of 5 US size 4 and some single pointed ones which I'll post better picture of next time.


I will never post about a project that isn't well on it's way again.
I have not been able to get past the I-cord cast-on for the Flood gloves! I've started 5 or 6 times.


I made large copies of the chart and set it up on my Knit Picks chart keeper.


I started to color in the different cable to make it easier. What was I thinking! I in no way have the skill level to follow this complicated chart.

There are a pair of cable gloves in my new book that I may try first because the chart is much easier. No posting on them until they are half way done!
