Here is the Before and after pictures of the afghan. It was crocheted, now it is knitted and just one panel of new yarn.

Well still working on my afghan, and will have a before and after picture soon. I have been working on the edging and I am sharing that picture with you first.

The Recycled Afghan 2007 It is here on this link http://www.menwhoknit.com/community/?q=node/2496, and at this time I am making the border around it.

Between Purls and Knits one can always bake a Cheesecake!

Three years ago I crocheted an afghan and this year I decided to frog the afghan. From that yarn I will make it a knit Afghan project. The yarn is Plymouth Yukon.

I have taken all the yarn out and even though knitting is supposed to take less yarn than crochet, I believe this project will take more yarn. I am making four panels and each panel takes aroound 8 hours to knit.

Here is the pile of yarn.

I am actually knitting a scarf on the round and I finished the Santa Hat that is in the picture. Have a Happy Holidat Season everyone, No matter what you celebrate!

Actually this is the link to the flickr slideshow, it will be up for a while. I wanted to share with you guys as well.

This is the famous hat after so many redoing it is done.
There are two views. The attachment is different. I added the pompom later.
LOL!

Well in the meantime while making my hats in the round, I have finished a Teddy Bear in Crochet. I hope you like him, his name is Bernie. Right now I am working on a Koala Teddy Bear for those Mates that Like it Regional down under.

So I don't know if people use the term frog to express the fact that they have undone an item. Well this hat is frogged and has been recasted on bigger gauge and more stitches, poor me , my head is very big LOL. I may have more pictures by Monday. I will actually know if it is the correct gauge for my size in the next two or three hours. Thanks for stopping by.
