I seem to be on a finishing streak around here. We'll see how long it lasts. I finished my Inga hat this weekend, just in time for the weather to warm up. I wanted to take a picture before I steamed it, to remind myself how much blocking helps: And after steaming: Doesn't seem much … Continue reading Socks and another Hat!

Project Details: Pattern: Inga Hat by Sheila Macdonald Yarn: Sublime Yarns Extra Fine Merino Wool DK (Blue, Ivory, Pink) Needles: 3.25mm and 3.75mm Notes: I blocked the heck out of this, and it seems to fit C pretty well.

Christmas Knitting
Well, I finished my Christmas knitting (by the skin of my teeth), but didn't take any pictures till last weekend. Here are the socks I made for my father in law: I think they look best on the feet, but without a willing model here's the pattern with a little stretching: This is the Stalker … Continue reading Christmas Knitting
Finished Inga Hat
I finished the hat last night, and it's a hit. E loves it. I love it because it used up scrap yarn and it matches her coat perfectly. I'll be making more of these, but I think I'll need to get some heavier yarn for the adult versions. Details Pattern: The Inga Hat by Sheila … Continue reading Finished Inga Hat
Cutaway finished!
I finished it. I started this in May, but wound up putting it aside for two baby blankets, four pairs of socks, and a moebius scarf which had to be done. Well one pair of socks was for fun, but I wanted to wear them. Project details: Pattern: Cutaway by Bonne Marie Burns Yarn: Berocco … Continue reading Cutaway finished!

Finished some socks
It was a productive weekend, finishing a big project that I've been working on, and a pair of socks that I've been working of for a couple of months. I'm happy with how they came out.

A new project and a completed project
I finished C's socks. Of course I don't have the yarn information with me, so I'll have to update this. But here they are for now:I'm happy with them. The yarn was a little splitty, so they weren't a particularly fast knit, but he likes the color and they fit, so that's good. These are … Continue reading A new project and a completed project
Matching!
The calorimetry are finished. I'm still not sure about the gauge (you can see my gauge trauma here). I checked three times, and finally went with the size 9 needle, resulting in an enormous piece. I did E's with 88 stitches cast on (size 9 needles), doing short rows until there were 26 stitches on … Continue reading Matching!
