HAPPY EASTER! HAPPY SPRING!
Here's a preview of the peeps I made for Easter ... I'll put up more shots of them soon. I had such fun making these limbless peeps! And I had some wonderful yarn to play with, sent to me by my friend, Romana, of YarnCloud Yarns (www.yarncloud.com)! The textures and colors were exciting and fun! I loved putting together the various color schemes for each of the basket/peep sets.
More about this soon... (well, we can hope, can't we?)

These are amazing and so cute! I just recently learned how to knit (OK, I'm still learning). I can never find all of these lovely colors at my local craft's store! I hope I can get this good eventually.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Brynn! :o) You're so kind!I've been knitting since I was a child, and I'm still learning! ;o) After years of knitting flat, I finally learned to knit in the round on two circular needles, a few years ago, and I've been having great fun with it ever since! A terrific resource for beginning (or intermediate or expert) knitters is http://www.knittinghelp.com where they have wonderful videos of how to knit most stitches. After that, it's all just practice! Make what you enjoy... and make lots! ;o)I buy most of my yarn online, and loads of colors and textures are available at these places (and others) ...http://www.yarncloud.comhttp://www.knittingwarehouse.comhttp://www.joann.comPlus you can try yarn sellers on ebay.com as well.Best of Luck on your knitting adventures! And have lots of Fun! :o)
ReplyDeleteAwesome, those websites were just what I was looking for! My mom tried for years to teach me how to crochet, and it finally "clicked" about 6 months ago. I've been crocheting like a fool since, but it's so hard on my wrists. I taught myself to knit (knittinghelp.com was so great compared to the book I was using) and quickly making progress.My first real project (after knitting a thousand "scarves") is a blanket for my sister in law, who I found out is about 2 months pregnant. It isn't without its mistakes, but I figure my new niece or nephew won't mind too much. I'm slowly amassing a TON of knitting stuff - much more than the crocheting supplies that I have. It's so much fun and a nice way to wind down after working all day.Thanks for the recommendations on the yarn! I can't wait to see what you come up with next :D
