Part two of my unfinished projects, wips

Just had to put these in seperate post because it would only let me do four at a time. The first i s the shoulder shawl I am crocheting for my self. It is all being done in Wool Ease by Lion brand EXCEPT for the yellow strip, which is a bit of yellow wool I had tucked away in a ball at the end of the bag somewhere. If anyone knows how to guide me thru this a little, would be nice. For some reason it wants to be round bottomed, kwim? I am decreasing on the ends of the rows and all, but the hang part wants to round out, and I do not want it too. Any ideas?

The second pic is my 5 and 7 year old boys, Joseph and Thomas, sporting the hat and scarf I made for my husband for hunting. It is done in Mohair, which is a bit of a pain to knit with, it knots together throuout the project quite easily. But it is beautiful, and my husband loves how they turned out. You cannot tell by the pic, but it is a camo like color scheme.

Do you find it ironic that I am a vegan and my husband a hunter? I do,lol.

New Knittins and crochet work!

I havent really finished much, was busy camping all weekend. We stayed at the Chenango Valley State Park. It was great except for the people next to us who had about 15 tents crammed into one site and acted like they thought they were the only people camping there.

Anyhoo, here are some pics of my wips

First pic, the aphgan I am crocheting in squares for my 5 year old son. He chose the colors, but it looks like I will need another skien of both colors to finish the blanket.

#2 A pretty pink white and green hat for me!!! I did this one on a kniffty knitter loom, I love my looms!!! I know its cheating, but I am a new knitter and need all the help I can get,lol.

#3 sorry, accidentally posted 2 of same blanket

#4 The hunting socks I am making on the loom for my husband, using homespun doubled up and it is turning out perfect!!!

#5 A new shoulder wrap for me, someone stole mine while I was showering at the campground, I have convinced myself it was those rude people next to me,lol.

#6 My 5 year old sons Joseph scarf, and soon to be matching hat, I am doing really well changing colors without cutting and knotting everytime. I am using aLions Brand wool boucle, and I love it!!! I am knitting only, not purling, I wanted to keep the fluffiness of this yarn without smushing it at all. I am going to make him a matching hat, and then my 7 year old wants the same scarf and hat, they always want everything matching:)

Well, I have some more stuff, couldnt fit all the pics on here, off to post!!!

Oh, I almost forgot, w are tryingt o concieve! Well, tryint to try to concieve, I am still nursing my youngest son and have not "resumed" any female issues yet, so there is really no telling if I am even ovulating yet. I have ordered an ovulation kit off ebay. Not that I even know how to use it,lol. You would think after having 5 kids I wouldnt need one!!!

Camping this weekend!

Took the boys camping this weekend. Had a wonderful time. I think next weekend I will take my wip's with me. I normaly dont I have so much to do as it is. BUT, at night when they are all sleeping, I always think "huh, I could be knitting". Started a new scarf project for the boys. I know it is early to start scarves, but I am learning how to join yarns when changing colors without cutting, and knotting to connect, so I am using my kids scarves as guinee pigs,lol. I also finished a hat for me last week, but the baby has hidden it so I dont have a pic of it yet. I made it on one of knifty knitter looms:) Well, thats all for tonight!

My first blog!

Well, here is my first blog. I am really just trying to figure it out,lol. I will take some pictures tomorrow of the passed 3 weeks work and put them on here. Please remeber to be nice, I am a new yarner and though I LOVE every minute of it, things dont always turn out the way the pattern looks,lol:)
