Itty Bitty Hats

I save the left overs from socks. In the back of my mind I thought that some day I would turn all those tiny balls of sock yarn into a blanket or something. Not long ago that thought came to the front of my mind and got bitch slapped by my common sense. Long ago I swore off projects made up of little squares due to the mind numbing number of ends that leaves to weave in.

About this same time, some dear friends had their second child arrive almost 4 weeks early. A new purpose was born, and bit by bit my sock remnants are becoming sweet wee hats.

New Socks

I've been pretty consistent with the sock knitting, both for myself and the hubby. Evidently I've been less consistent about blogging the results. This pair has taken a while to finish as I was distracted by shawls and baby blankies and other shiny things. I have already cast on my next pair, and hopefully will do a netter job of posting pics when I finish them.

I'm 2 for 2! This is the second installment of the Mean Girls Yarn Club, Episode 2. The colorway is called Totally Wicked, and I have chosen the Sockhead Hat pattern. Not exactly a pointy witch hat, but it should bring nice color to a gray northwest winter.

Dynamic Duo Mitts

I got these done before vacation, but there was no time to photograph them. My step-daughter is a trumpet player in her high school marching band. These should help keep her warm and let her play at those chilly football games.

There was a plane ride, there was knitting. Now there is much fun and sun but not much knitting. Luckily I have another plane ride coming up...

Bitter Hoar

She is finished! And just in time for the next shipment to arrive.

Circle of Life Shawl

Finished!

I love this shawl, but it is hard to get a good picture of it. So here is my best effort so far.

This is the first installment of the Mean Girls Yarn Club, Episode 2. The colorway is called Hoar Frost, and I've chosen the Bitterrooot pattern. My Bitter Hoar will have icy looking beads, but should keep me nice and warm come winter. My plan is to actually choose a pattern and knit with all the club yarn this year. My track record is crap. We will see when the dust settles how many projects get completed, but I'm hopeful.

Who's Driving?

New Blankie

A friend just found out that the baby due in November is a girl! Clearly my next stop was the yarn store. Ok, maybe not quite the next stop, but I didn't waste much time. This is my favorite combination of Pagewood Farm's Denali sock yarn (in Orange Spice) and La's Ondas pattern. This is my 4th one in 3 years. Don't bother me, I'm counting...
