Little Wit Knits - Unplugged

For all of you waiting on the edge of your seats to find out, the bag turned out nicely. It was also well received by the bride to be.

My pulse is racing, heart is pounding… why you may ask?
I just washed a hand knit garment for the first time.

It doesn’t sound scary…but I made this pouch:

… for a dear friend’s bridal shower this weekend. If something goes wrong in the wash…no gift and I become sad because it was so pretty.

I followed the Knitter’s Review instructions and used my Suave shampoo after hearing that Woolite tends to be too harsh. The water ran clear and it is now resting gently on a super absorbent towel from Target.

Hopefully in a couple of hours it will look splendid and I can relax…
…until then I will be on Ravelry working.

So as I was cleaning out my inbox and I found this video recommended by Knitter’s Review. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Have a great day!

Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile. I am horrible about posting. Perhaps I will just turn this blog into a way of keeping track of my knitting projects at least until Ravelry opens to the general public.

Current Project:
The cover project for Last Minute Knitted Gifts.

Garnett and Peacock. Blue Sky Alpacas - Alpaca Silk. The blue has discoloured my needles. We will see if it comes out.

Still working on my Mom’s birthday socks. (Her birthday was in March, she received the yarn with a promise for socks.)

I also got a new knitting/laptop bag from Etsy.com vendor Janine King. Check it out.

I recently attended a couple weddings. The first one was my boo’s cousin’s.

Boo modeling his shirt that I made (that’s the groom’s father in the background strutting his stuff).

Myself and the Bride and Groom. I am modeling the dress and shawl I made for the wedding.

No pics yet from my high school friend’s wedding but if I think about it I will update
