Elephant thoughts

My thoughts on knitting, crocheting, being crafty and just my life in general. I am calling it elephant thoughts because elephants never forget and I am hoping this will help me to remember more things. Wish me luck!

Brian's afghan folded

Here is a second view that shows the colors a little more clearly. I didn't use a pattern to make it, I just remembered another one I did and made this one similar to it.

Next up is to finish another scarf and make a couple of quilts. After that I still have a long list of things to make, but I don't know if I will be able to get to them or get them finished before Christmas. We shall see.

Brian's afghan

I have finally finished my friend's afghan. I know, I know, it is about time huh? Well, I had a lot going on and didn't get to work on it quite as much as I wanted or needed to. I think it turned out pretty well too.

I just finished the hat I was knitting for my new niece. It is my first circular and DP needle piece ever. I am all excited about making it and I think it looks really good for my first time. I also remembered to take a picture of it. WooHoo! I made it out of a really really soft yarn. The name of it is Oh My! by plymouth Yarn and it is a 100% nylon yarn.

That is all for now, I will post more when I get it done.

I know, I know. I haven't posted in a while. There have been lots of things happening that are not craft related and kept me away from doing many crafts. I have started back though. I went for another knitting lesson yesterday to learn how to make a baby hat for my new niece. She is a little on the small side for now and my sister is wanting some extra hats for her to help keep her warm.

I also finished the pink crochet scarf I was working on. I don't have a picture, because I gave it to my aunt before I remembered to take a picture. I also finished a crochet hat for my niece that I forgot to take a picture of before I gave it to her. I am going to have to get better at remembering to take pictures.

I am now working on an afghan that I really really need to get finished for my friend Brian. I will try to finish it this week. Also I have the circle scarf I am redoing and the baby hat and then I want to start on a bag I am going to knit. It will probably be for a gift, but I am not sure for who just now.

Between this stuff and making some jewelry I plan on being very crafty for the very near future. It will be so much fun! Ok, I promise pictures in the very near future as well of my works in progress. More later, got to get back to crafting.
