Playing with needles

I've been on a knitting streak lately for the gift giving season and now that its over I figured I'd start a little something for myself. After organizing my yarn and making it look a little less like a giant rats nest, it got me in the knitting mood and considering its still brrrr cold around here a scarf seemed to be the logical choice. Just hope it doesn't take me forever, I'm always so bad at starting projects and then walking away from them! And speaking of bad at starting and finishing, as of last night I am also in the process of making little cozies for our seedlings {they are in tin cans in the window sill}. Knitted goods are everywhere around here, thought I would share a few of my favorites I've seen here and there....

Isn't this the cutest little hat!? I bet its so teeny tiny in person

And of course knits aren't just limited to our clothing, there are fantastic tutorials out there on how to use old knitted sweaters to make fancy goodies for the home. A knitting basket made from a knitted sweater, love it!  And that blanket has me considering making another giant blanket for the bed. I've made patch like knitted blankets before and have been looking for a big project....

It seems like a simply DIY too! A used basket + old sweater :)
