See! I didn't disappear!

Whew! That was a lot of posting... enjoy!

I'll try to get pictures up more regularly, but no promises.

Anyway, happy holiday knitting everyone!

Matching Caps

As you may recognize, these hats are the Newsboy-style Caps from S&B Nation.


I've made three of these in the past, and only heard positive reviews. They are pretty fast to knit & can be made with only 6oz of yarn. Also, they're pretty funky and cool and definitely not boring.


They look way different laying on the table than they do when they are actually being worn, so here are some lovely, slightly blurry, pictures of how they really look:



Hooray again! Feels good to finish projects!

Purple Alaska Sock up to HERE!

The purple Alaska socks are done! and they are definitely knee-high at least!

They are so comfy, it's gonna pain me to give them away for Xmas. My only consolation being that if anyone could love these socks more than I do, it's the person who's getting them for Xmas.


Hooray! If anyone wants to knit something happy, make knee high socks with really soft yarn. It was a blast & they make me smile when I see them. :)

Lover's Mitten

Sorry in advance for the poor quality of some of these pictures, but yeah, no natural light.


Here is a normal mitten:


Here is a Lover's Mitten:

Kinda like conjoined mitten twins. The point is that you can hold hands with someone inside the mitten & your hands won't get cold. I made a few changes to the Lover's Mitten pattern in the link above, but mostly just for sizing.

And I made a matching set of mittens, so the lovebirds can keep their outside hands warm as well.


A Lover's Mitten...what a cute idea! It's been a big hit with everyone who's seen it. It seems to be what everyone wants for Xmas.

Asherton at Last!

Voila!

I know it's not a super picture, but it seems like it's dark all the time, so no luck having natural light. Anyway, you can see what it looks like. Very geometric pattern. Almost appears to be 3-D cubes.

And since it's made with only knits and purls, it looks much more challenging than it was. Though, the 44-row repeat in the pattern definitely made me pay attention.

The Deluge Begins...

Ok, I've finally done it! I took pictures of the things I've finished in the past couple months & I will now post them.

I've been such a blog slacker....


And on that note, I present the Ribbon Hat:

The black is a microspun cotton blend that's been sitting in my closet for ages, and the green is ribbon yarn that I think I bought at my first trip to a real yarn store. ...long time ago. Anyway, that was back when I thought it'd be really fun to knit with ribbon yarn. Silly me.

But, two bits of my stash were eaten up by this project. So, huzzah! It's really nothing too amazing, but it is pretty soft, so that's good.
