KH Monthly Challenge: November

Harumph! :mad: I have had everything to start that MaryElla bracelet for my sister and aunt for a week now and i’m still waiting for my darn 0000oooooblivion needles to arrive!! pout

They shipped out earlier this week but i’m feeling incredibly impatient!! stampy foot noise :roflhard: I think i’m channelling Veruca Salt this week! :roflhard: hmmmm… :??

The DNA scarf is still being worked on but since it’s not a Christmas pressie i haven’t been working on it with any vigor. I’ve started making facecloths (which we know to be dishcloths…shhh!!!) for a friend’s present and of course it’s just zipping along.

But i have an order from Knitpicks for which i’ve been waiting FOREVER, my needle order, and another order from a bead shop for a necklace i’m going to make for my aunt.

It’s coming, this i know… “BUT I WANT IT NOOOOWWWW!!!” stampy foot noise :mad:

The anticipation is killing me.
-hh

This is the first time I ever knitted anything brown … you can’t see the turkey very well … but he is there :slight_smile:

Cute Debbie!!

Where might I find that pattern?? That is really cute!!! :smiley:

I can see the turkey!! Looks good, debbie! :thumbsup:

I’ve said it before…I say it again…I SO LOVE THIS KAL!!!
I just :heart: :inlove: :heart: everyone’s work…we have creative geniuses among us :cheering: :cheering: !

This is my 3rd finished 1st…I did Tychus from Knitty for :inlove: Lonnie :inlove: . Then I knitted the hat to match my Branching Out scarf which I wasn’t happy with until I appliqued the leaves on, which was a 1st for me :wink:
Now I have completed my clapotis in a record :shock: 5 days (LOL, bc it’s easy!) which is my 1st project with intentional dropped sts!

Here we have photos of the unblocked clapotis that I finished earlier this evening :smiley:

Ohhhh, that’s GORGEOUS, Rebecca! :shock:

GAWGEOUS!!!

:heart: LOVE IT, Rebecca!! That is beautiful!!

Soooo pretty! :inlove: That yarn you chose adds to the beauty so much!

I can’t think of a word to express how pretty that is!!!

What color is that yarn? I was looking at it yesterday, and it is pricey, but is just too gorgeous!!!

Becca, I SO want your clapotis! Can I have it??? Puhlease? Swap ya for 5 sets of stitch markers… :roflhard:

All kidding aside, what yarn did you use?

Denise I love ya but… :thinking: …NO! :roflhard: :rofling: I am so glad that ya like it, tho :wink:
Thanks everyone :smiley: , you are so sweet & sure know how to make a girl feel good :wink: !
Ingrid, yes, it’s my ‘treat’ yarn, I can’t afford it often…but it sure it purdy :wink: ! It’s South West Trading Company’s Karaoke yarn 50/50 wool/soysilk. This is the Mermaid Mix colorway. Should anyone be looking for it, I recommend shopping with the girls @ www.kpixie.com they have the least expensive price for this yarn that I have found AND you get an additional 10% off after signing up for their newsletter AND to top it all off you get most excellent service :wink:

Thanks again everybody :smiley: …I’m off to cast on for the hat to match :thumbsup:

It’s beautiful, Rebecca! I can’t wait to see the whole set. :smiley:

Andrea here is the link to the turkey cloth pattern … http://www.knittingknonsense.com/turkeycloth.html I used a small pony bead for the eye and Sugar & Cream brown yarn. I think a lighter brown/tan would show the turkey better. I am giving it to a volunteer at school that I am very thankful for :slight_smile:

Thanks! I will check that out!

I started a hooded, zipper up cardigan - a first, and it has BOBBLES! Also a first for me :slight_smile:

Cool, Angela!! That sounds like lots of firsts- hooded, zippered, cardigan, bobbles- are they all firsts? Way to go!! :thumbsup:

I am loving the firsts!!! I think we do need to make this a yearly thing…
Here’s another first for me, my first lace…ish :?? pattern…
I cast on and frogged this thing about thirty times trying to figure out which stitch pattern I liked the best -I was going to do ‘Heart’ from Knitty, but it was wider than I liked- and finally had to cut off almost a foot of yarn at the beginning because it got so frayed :oops: but finally, I have something kind of lacy. I used one ball of Lion Brand Jiffy, and the stitch pattern is called Horseshoe Print…

Purdy, Becca!

Angela…those are some nice Bobbles! I thought I would never learn to do bobbles!!! Your’s are GREAT!
PHM…I agree with the yearly idea :thumbsup: !! I love your lace scarf :heart: , very nice indeed :wink:

okay, the hat to match clapotis is complete…my 1st ever dropped st hat!
