Carole's Hat

One of the ladies at work started chemo this week. She was telling me that she had to start hat shopping. Cancer sucks!!

The pattern can be found here.

Kevin's friends need hats

Jon wanted the Snow Falling Hat I made for Kevin but in a solid color. Chris wanted a beanie in burgundy. He works at Apple and is bribed me with his employee discount for David's birthday iPod. Jarod wanted a brown beanie and is bribing me with stick-shift driving lessons for Justin. Justin has his permit and is turning into a great driver but really wants to learn how to drive a manual transmission. We only have automatics but Jarod has a stick shift car and he offered. I think Chris and Jarod both deserve beanies. Don't tell them but I would have made them for them without the bribes. :-)

Snow Falling Hat

This was a test knit that I really enjoyed. I'm not very good at colorwork but I thought this hat was so pretty I requested to be a tester. You can find the pattern here as soon as she releases it.

Teddy Bear

I'm not even sure how I found out about this bear or this knitter but I loved his bear and his story. Mine doesn't exactly look like a bear but I'm quite happy with my new friend.

How did I forget to blog these?

It's winter and 85 degrees outside. I must think that if I keep knitting mittens, it will get cold.

These were knitted in November. I was looking for a basic mitten pattern and my friend Mona was just finishing up her pattern. Was that timing or what?

Winter, please come out of hiding!!! I have four new pairs of mittens just waiting to be worn.

Edgar the Monster

Edgar is supposed to be a monster but I think he looks somewhat like a kitty. Test knitting is way fun!

Test Crow

I'm having quite a good time test knitting. This crow is my latest finished object.

Stay tuned for Edgar - more test knitting - in a day or two. :-)

Curly Scarf

This is the January Mystery. After I took the picture I wondered if I was showing off the scarf or the oranges. I like them both.

Test Knitting

There is a test knitting group on Ravelry and I signed up to test these mittens. After a few false starts I ended up with mittens I absolutely love.

They were knitted with Malabrigo Rios. I didn't know Malabrigo had a superwash wool until the lady at the LYS showed it to me. What a fun surprise!! I haven't come across a bad Malabrigo yet.

Honoré Cowl/Hat

I saw this hat/cowl pattern in Ravelry and immediately started knitting it. The yarn was dyed, spun, and gifted to me from my wonderful friend Wilma.

Fast Christmas Knitting

These are for a friend I'm having lunch with tomorrow. I'd forgotten how quickly dishcloths knit up.

Pei

Brooklyn Tweed aka Jared Flood came out with a new yarn called Loft that had wonderful reviews. He also came out with this one skein pattern for Loft's use. One skein, new yarn, Jared Flood, how could I go wrong. I bought the color called meteorite and the pattern. Kathy and I had our own private KAL and off we went.

Introducing my Pei.

Monster Chunk

Monster Chunks make me smile!

November Mysteries

I participated in two out of the five November mysteries. The group requested something for a man so we made the Ear Flap Hat. It went to my son but for now doesn't the vase look lovely wearing it.

My second was a soap sack. It immediately went into the shower with my hubby.

Flip Top Mittens

Flip top mittens - Dream In Color yarn - life is good.

October Mysteries

I love this hat!! The pattern was fun and fast.

This is the second October Mystery that I did. My favorite part of this was being able to play with colors. There was nothing boring about this project.

Snowmen

A friend of mine sent me this link and I wanted to make a few. Here are my snowmen. We're waiting for winter!

Special Olympics

They'll go in the mail Monday.
