I went to the yarn shop to get a ball of yarn wound, and came home with more yarn than I walked in with. Raise your hand if you saw that one coming!
There was never a WIP post for these, since they knit up so quickly, but I want to show off my very first knitted baby items. One of my friends from high school just had a baby boy, so I made some booties and a hat for him!
I’m knitting some awesome socks for a test knit, learning 2 at a time to finally beat Second Sock Syndrome, and only quasi-neglecting my Creme Brulee.
Summer Flies makes a lovely shawl with a cute picot edge that takes twenty bajillion years to bind off. Malabrigo Silky Merino is a great yarn. Also, my office has a view of the lake. That is all!
I’m actually participating in the KAL at my LYS, even though it ended in disaster last time I did. We’re making Creme Brulee, which is a really cute, super simple lace top for layering.
I finished my Ragtop Mitts and I am so in love with them that I pout when I take them off. The thumb gusset is amazing!
This week I’m working on a quick shawl in a silk-merino blend.
After taking ages to finish my brothers gloves, I really needed a quick, easy project. These little cufflets whipped up in just a couple episodes of Supernatural, and are adorable!
This week, I’m working on Ragtop Mitts in madelinetosh tosh dk. They’re beautiful, if I may say so myself!
I built the Eiffel Tower today. No, really.
