Knits from 2011

Knitting has changed the way I see things. I see ribbed lines, cabled rows, lace that forms patterns & even on my walks, I think about patterns I see in the sky or on tree lines & wonder how they were made. It has opened up a pathway in my mind that I am thankful to have.

I am looking back at what my needles made in 2011. Each project, sometimes even with the same pattern created different knits. I like that my hands were able to create wearable things. Hoping that my rows & lines are floating around out there for the world to see keeping my friends and family warm.

I will start with my first completed project on 2011. It's Tiny Tea Leaves Pattern by Melissa LeBarre. Found here at www.ravelry.com http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tea-leaves-cardigan. The first sweater I ever knitted & never tired of making. This one started as a sweater intended for a relative's baby, but the gauge was off & it ended up fitting Maddie. I'd like to say she has worn it alot, but she hasn't. Thankfully it still fits her, she's just not much of a sweater girl. I am still hopeful she'll discover it & put it on this year. I later made the same sweater for the baby:) The hat Maddie is wearing was a quick hat for a friend's brithday.
