Projects Completed

So I finished the hat, and now the Lace Scarf and Hat set is complete! I'm pretty satisfied, vacation ends this Monday so I don't know how much time will I have for knitting, but I need to knit a few more things before my sister leaves.

Lace-Edged Women's Hat

So yesterday I finished knitting the LionBrand Lace Scarf and immediately began knitting this lovely pattern by Julie Hentz.
As usual, I used Caron Simply Soft, worsted weight. I'm using a US size 8 circular needle as opposed to the size 6 the pattern calls for. Also, I added 6 extra stitches because my sister has a big head, so I'm knitting in the blind here not knowing how big the hat will be or how the end result will look, so far I love how the edge is turning out.
Hopefully I'll finish it by this weekend.
Here's a little sneak peak of how its turning out:

Looks like a little crown :D

Neverending Lace

So the Lace Scarf has taken more than I thought it would only because the princess, my sister, wants it longer. It measures right now 57.5, even though the pattern calls for just 30 something inches, I just got tired of knitting and have been doing at leas 2 to 3 pattern repeats a day...

Lace Yet Again

Lace Scarf
Lion Brand^® Lion Cotton
Pattern Number: 70336AD

So I got this pattern from the Lion Brand newsletter I receive monthly, while I've had a bad experience knitting lace anything, the pattern seemed real easy, plus I have the yarn weight(although I'll be using Caron Simply Soft instead of the one the pattern calls for) needed AND the needles (I'll be using circular needles cause I've only got those in that size, 8) which is usually a rarity. So far its been going great! the pattern is not confusing and quick to knit. Hopefully I'll be done by either the end of the week or by next week.

LaceAnger!!

Well...I'm soooo angry at this scarf!! I mean I know its not her fault but whyyyyyy!! I've had to go back several times and re-knit a row or two!! Its soo frustrating...
These are 3 Things I've learned knitting Lace:
- Always Count your stitches after each row
- NEVER knit lace while you are doing something else, while someone is talking to you, while you are waiting to be picked up after class.
- Have Patience!!

I'm loving the scarf and all, but I just really feel like frogging it and start all over again!! *Tears*
I'm not giving up on this!! I will finish this Scarf before the motnh ends if its the last thing I do!!!
*sigh*

Thats all for now, Hope ya'll are doing better than I am.
Happy Knitting!
And God Bless!

PS:
This is what it looked like last week, its much longer now but I have made little progress:

Lacevember

Well October is officially over! and its time for Lacevember , I've even joined the Lacevember KAL and I'm planning on knitting the Branching Out Scarf,
which seems to be a favorite for first time lace knitters like me or so I have been reading from other people's blogs, I casted on for this scarf last month and had to frog it because I messed up following the 5th row but its alright! I'll be knitting it now and hopefully it'll turn out great! :D
I'll be posting pictures up of my progress when I begin knitting the scarf!

Happy Knitting!
And God Bless!!
