Knit Mainea

Monday, April 24, 2006

I put a new battery in my digital camera just in time for Seth to come get me while I was doing the dishes and tell me that Norton had found a trojan horse virus on my computer. And they say that computers make our lives easier.

I mentioned last time that the Dulaan Project knitting from my mom and her co-workers was going fabulous. Here are a few pictures of Dulaan Project work:

some more of my Dulaan hats...




And some of the hats contributed by my mom and her co-workers. My mom told me tonight that she has finished another one since I took the picture, and one of her co-workers finished another 5. Pam, the one that just finished the 5 has already contributed 30. You read that right, 30. Her goal is 40. And I thought that making my 7 was a big deal. I'm in awe of how much she is willing to contribute to the Project. The hats with the pompoms on them are my mom's.









I also mentioned in my last post about the sweater that I whipped up for my new niece Emily Jane... you can't see the cute ties that close it, and the stitches aren't very defined in the picture which bums me out a little, but here it is in it's fuzzy glory...


Finally for pictures, I looked at the calendar this weekend and realized that I still had not started my mom's mother's day gift. I had planned on making her a doily in black crochet cotton thread that she can put under her display of Native American dolls and pitchers that she got along her trip to New Mexico and Arizona. I thought that the black would look lovely against the bright colors of the dolls. I'm not sure that I will be able to finish it in time, but at least I've started it and can show her that it is in process. I'm currently on row 46 and there are about 120+ plus the crochet border. The pattern is from yarn over dot net and is based on a peacock's tail.


I've got something cooking in the works... not a project per se, but something big. And I can't wait to reveal it, especially to Beth from big geek since I've been soliciting her incredibly helpful advice about a few things. Keep posted... I'll be reveling things in the next month or so!

What a great bunch of Duulan hats!! What pattern are you using [or are you just winging it?].

I love your little fuzzy glory sweater. Pretty color!
