Knitting My Day Away....

During this time that I like to call Funemployment (it's always best to stay positive about these things), I've been doing a lot of cooking, baking, reading and knitting.  Over the past two years I've knitted a bunch of market bags as gifts.

The pattern I got was made by Laura Spradlin.  Seriously, they're amazing. And, really easy for someone like me...... you know, who's not the greatest knitter in the world ;)

Knitted Market Bag

This is one that I'm currently working on.... It looks small, but it really stretches out!

Gilbert's Slytherin Scarf

My other knitting project right now is a scarf for Gilbert.  He really wanted a scarf like my "two month scarf." When I asked him what colors he wanted he said, "I want a Harry Potter Scarf."

"Which house do you want it to be?" I asked.

"Well I want it to be Gryffindor, but I don't want it to have gold.... so I guess thinking about all the house colours, let's go with Slytherin."

Needless to say, I can't believe I'm making a Slytherin scarf!  I'm about half way done, but the good news is that it's taking me MUCH less time to finish than mine took.

What has your favorite knitting project been?  Or croche or sewing, I don't discriminate.
