Creative Every Day 2009...Week 2...
In addition to playing with fabrics and getting ready for my quilt challenge (you can read about it here!), I actually managed to get some new things on and even off needles. 
These will ba a pair of socks for my friend, Colleen. She was the one who quilted Tara's quilt on her long-arm machine...and we bartered - I made her a lovely scarf (which I forgot to take a photo of) and a pair of socks. Yes, I am knitting them at the same time - magic loop - on two different needles. And, yes, Erica, I do a swatch for everything I knit...unless it is a dishcloth or bath cloth.
Speaking of bath cloths - I finished two back scrubbers this week - aren't the cool? It actually takes an entire skein of Peaches and Cream or Sugar and Cream to do the scrubber - so, I used some odds and ends for the handles...
One of these is for me - probably the one with the purple...the other will be a gift...probably for one of the people who I am Playing It Forward with! We'll have to see.So I feel that Week 2 was a pretty creative week for me.

what a great idea to make knit back scrubbers!!
Sara, you swatch socks?! I am speechless!! (Well, not really, but it was a nice thought) The yarn is beautiful!
LOVING the yarn you are using for those socks!!! And what a clever idea for the back scrubbers, too.
All of these things are beautiful. I so want to learn to knit! You continually inspire me so THANK YOU!
Okay...so your goal is to do something creative every day? That is great! There's no reason why we all can't do that. I mean, if we get rid of other things in our lives that don't give so much pleasure (such as laundry, dishes, exercise, work). I love it!
I hadn't heard of the Creative Everyday site but it sounds like such a fun challenge! I'm doing something a little similar (though it's only for 6 weeks) but it's nice to see a fellow knitter working on this with me!
Looks like you have gotten a great start to being creative!
I love that yarn in the first picture! SO pretty :-)
