Knitta project for San Jose, CA
Friday, July 25, 2008 at 10:37AM 
Here it is folks, just the beginnings of my "Tree Trunk Cozy" that I started just a short time ago.
I really enjoyed the piece on the "Knitta Gang" from Texas that "knit tags" inanimate objects all over the world. So it was not hard for me to find something to knit late one night in the dark while my hubby was sleeping.
I bought lighted knitting needles awhile ago, and only use them when its dark, only problem for me is there size US11, so normally most projects I'm working on are on smaller size needles and of course circulars. The lighted needles are straights, and to me limited in what can be knit.
As soon as I busted out my needles, I immediately thought of creating my own knit garment to "knit tag" my tree in front of my house, all in honor of the "Knitta Gang" 8-)
I decided to make the pattern easy, and so it is knit in garter stitch, and I'll be transitioning to a new yarn, possibly a red. The current yarn on the needles is purple, and very pretty. Its scrap yarn, so I don't have any labels as to the specs of the yarn. I plan to get this done within the next week, and will post pics of it keeping my tree cozy.
The contest winner for "Can you guess what I'm knitting?"
In a earlier post, I recorded myself knitting this in the dark with my lighted needles & asked who could guess what I'm knitting based off of prior blog posts hints.
The lucky winner who guessed it, is Leslie!
Congratulations Leslie, your package has been sent out today, I hope you like your goodies 8-)

Cool! You're a performance artist now!
You ROCK, Rocky!-hee! Thanks so much and it was fun to take a guess at that late-night in-the-dark knitting! How cool is that? I only wish I had a good tagging area near me...
