Sewing machine challenged!

Yes, I'm sewing machine challenged. When I was in elementary school all the way through college I used an old Singer sewing machine. It was my great aunt's sewing machine and she was a seamstress. It was a heavy black sewing machine with ton's of attachments. The thing weighed a ton. Not sure where it is now but, I do miss it. My sewing machine is about 14 years old and it and I never got along. It challenges me every time I use it. Anyway, after our battle this is the outcome.
A Christmas Gift for Mom/Nana.

My MIL is a huge baseball fan so the kids thought these would be great for Grandma. I'm sure there will be a discussion between her and the kids that not all are about baseball.


My father has been commenting that I haven't knitted him anything. So, he'll be getting these dish cloths. He'd really like an afghan...maybe in 2008.

All of these were knitted with Sugar N Cream yarn. The pot holders were from a pattern at MagKnits The only change I made was using Insul-Bright for the batting.

My FIL asked for knitted mittens last year...a year later. Dh was nice enough to model them for me. The yarn is superwash wool.
