Amanda Knits

I'm working on Heather from White Lies Designs.

Today was a snow (well, ice) day and I got in 30 rows today.

I knit one of EZ's tomten coats for my niece, Reese. The pattern is found in Knitting Without Tears.

I used Schachenmayr Nomotta Princess yarn I bought on close-out from Elann many years ago. It works up to a nice terry-cloth feeling fabric, but it also snags easily.

I left off the zipper and I'm a little concerned that the sleeves look alien-like long.

If I had known how quickly baby/toddler knits worked up, I would've started knitting these a looong time ago.

Currently working on EZ's Tomten coat in lilac Schachenmayr Nomotta Princess yarn. Bought this yarn on sale at Elann. Not sure what I was thinking, but it's working up well for a baby's jacket.

So I finally finished this green sweater, done in mistake rib on size 5 needles with Elann's Lara cotton yarn. It used 13.25 balls of yarn. Only 1.75 balls left in my stash.

Am I the only one who starts weaving in ends mid-way through finishing a project? I have a lot of ends on a sweater I'm working on, and I know if I don't start weaving them in now (when I'm working on the sleeves), I'll let the sweater...sit...

I finished knitting the fingerless gloves to go with Sister's Hat.

Sister's Gloves

I used the yarn single-stranded on size 3 (US) needles.
