Dusting Off The Needles FO: Balaclava

Mar 112010

Well it’s been a little while since I’ve had time to knit. Oh was I ever missing it! Knitting is really a good therapy, a quiet time to sit and relax.

I finished another balaclava, this one is for my uncle. It’s an umm quite late Christmas present. LOL! I have two more to make now. I’m going to cast on 1 today. But knitting with all this black is driving me nuts. It’s plain and boring and hard to see to! So I’m going to start another project as well. Maybe I’ll start on the fingerless gloves for next Christmas…Or maybe I’ll start on some longies, although I have some nice blue yarn calling me to make a shawl to…Oh the choices….

I’ve been busy crafting in between sick days. I finished another fleece blanket and got a late Christmas New Years package sent off. It included the other two fleece blankets, balaclava and a crochet shawl. In my rush I forgot to take photos of the shawl and the one I made for my aunt. Both were crochet from my own pattern, one in light blue and the other a two toned gray. The yarn was Bernat Soft Boucle

I’m about half done the balaclava for my Uncle now. Just an inch away from making the face opening. I love the pattern, but the 2 x 2 ribbing goes slow! I have two more to make from this pattern, then I may try making some changes. I would like to see how it looks in stockinette. That would be a much faster knit!
