What's on my needles

Knitting: Baby Booties

The time is near and I am so excited to be expecting our new little girl. With all of the excitement, I decided to knit her some booties. I wasn’t sure how long it was going to take, but I’m almost done. That’s right!!! I’m almost done. The only thing I have to do next is to sew them up on the edges.

I’m thinking of making her a matching hat and something else. I’m just not quite sure what else yet.

I guess I can be motivated to knock out certain projects when I want. This is obviously a time that I want to finish the project.

She’s almost here!!!

Knitting: What’s on My Needles

Over the past few years, I’ve read multiple blog posts of knitters that are able to complete projects within a weeks time. Let me be the first to say, I am not one of those knitters.

With so much going on in my life, it’s a blessing if I find time to get half way through a project in less than two weeks. I have decided, however, to attempt to complete projects at a faster pace.

One reason for my decision is that I want to sell my crafts on Etsy. I have a friend that crochets and she has an etsy store. Within a few months she made 17 sales that totaled about $400 dollars. I talked to her recently and Found her words very encouraging. In short she said, “get to work girl!” She knows how to inspire me.

So there are two items on my needles right now. The type of yarn, I’m not sure. I started working on these items at my leisure and didn’t annotate the yarn that I was using. I’ll be able to go back and check my ralvery stash to update them.

The first project is a basic shawl in brown. The second project it a multicolored hat. The hat is in a child’s size. I plan on making a scarf for it that will match.

So the truth…I may not be one of those knitters that can knock out multiple projects in a week, but I have a few goals that I’ll be working toward.

Do you have any goals that you’ve set or need to set in order to fee that you are progressing in some way? Tell me about it.
