So far I have knitted four hot water bottles, of which the very first I haven't even bothered to sew up. Let's call that one a learning experience, okay? The next two I tried to perfect my version. Learned (I think) to do the yarn over. These were mine and my niece's. By the time I did the fourth one for my sister I was getting very bored with doing the stripes, so I did a checkerboard pattern. My first stranded knitting! That was fun.
Since then I have been doing the baby sweater for B & B. The one I started in the fingering yarn was not flowing. I tried doing one in worsted weight and guess what? I am done with the body and am now doing one of the sleeves! With this I have learned how to do the single row button hole. It will probably fit their kid in August.
But I must buy some yarn and start on brother-in-law present. I am going to do a hat, and hopefully some fingerless mitts for him to use in the morning when driving.
