FO's from Long Ago

Alright, one thing that I think we've established is that I am a terrible blogger. Really I am. I always say I'm going to try better, but I just get lazy.

Although, just because I haven't been blogging doesn't mean I haven't been knitting. I actually have several FOs. I can blog about a few now, but the others will remain top secret for just a little bit longer.

First up we have The Scrunch Scarf from Spud & Chloe. It's a really cute, different pattern and I enjoyed knitting it. It works up in almost no time at all and the results a great.



Next up, we have The Potato Chip Scarf. I searched everywhere for a pattern like this until I found the one I was looking for at Krafty Kash's blog. I was glad I found it because it worked well for the yarn. My friend bought me this yarn for Christmas, but it wasn't really my style. All she kept saying was "Isn't this so cute?" She really, really liked it, so I knew that I had to make something for her with it. It was really hard to find patterns that worked with this yarn, but like I said, it worked very well with the Potato Chip pattern.

It was the very first time I knitted this pattern, and I must say, when I started I was pretty nervous because I knitted a few inches but I didn't think it was curling the way it should. Have no fear, though! Krafty Kash had a video how-to for the pattern. Isn't that awesome?! It really helped and made me realize that I was doing everything right, I just had to keep knitting a few more inches before it would start to show the "potato chip" part.



Lastly, for now, we have the Baby Sweater Dress from the Lion Brand site. I knitted this up in two days - only working on it for a few hours each day. I like it, but I didn't like the seaming. If I made it again, I would probably convert it so it could be knitted in the round for most of it.

I've also worked on a few things to go along with this, and they are finished, but I haven't had a chance to soak/block them yet, so I won't be blogging about that for a few more days.



Even after blocking, the dress still curled a bit, so I crocheted a few extra rows and that solved the problem.

Okay, that's all for now. Hopefully, it won't be a super long time before my next post. Fingers crossed!
