I’m very nearly done with the Lil’ Devil Baby Hat. Just need to weave in the current ends, and then make the horns. I confess to a certain level of trepidation for the horns, as it involves picking up stitches in a triangular shape, supposedly above the ear flaps, but doing this in a hat […]
I had a rather lovely, fairly productive weekend. Saturday was my mother’s birthday, and we did a little girl’s afternoon out to the Skillin’s annual open house at their Falmouth greenhouse. Mom found a really cool Greenman to replace the eagle decoration that came with her garage, and I bought a new oxalis to replace
I actually finished my Fetching mitts on Sunday. I think the lovely warmth I was getting from one mitt spurred me on, because they were done in near record time. They’re keeping my hands warm in my chilly house as I type this. No picture, since I haven’t had the time to monkey with posing
I went on a bit a bender on Thursday night (coincidently while on a bender watching Michael Palin’s Full Circle), and finished the left Fetching mitt redux. I added five rows above the thumb before knitting the cable row, which added the length I needed to get it to hit my knuckles where I wanted
Monkey socks are done! I love this yarn. It’s lovely and lightweight, yet nice and toasty (despite the holes in the pattern even!). I’m not sure what I’ll work on next.

One of my coworkers will become a father in about two month’s time, so in pondering what I wanted to do as a present for the baby, since I could tell it involve a yarn order, I also decided to set my Project Spectrum house in order. The yarn order is now in, and here’s
Monkey socks are coming along nicely, mostly because my brain has been too fried after work all week for me to do much more than sit on the couch and do something relatively mindless. There will not be much progress made this weekend, as we’re actually going away to see friends, and I’m not bringing
The Foliage hat is done! Hurray! It’s just a smidge too long, but that does end up keeping my ears covered, so I can deal with it. I think the next thing I’ll do is the second Monkey sock. I do have my next Fetching mitt cast on, but I want to at least get
The Foliage hat is back on the needles. I finally got smart and strung a lifeline through the first row on the circular needles, and I’m pretty sure that’s the only reason I was finally able to complete a full repeat of the lace pattern. Finally!
Monkey sock #1 is done, and fits on a human foot! (And I’ve discovered blog posting from Flickr 😉 This after I may have fudged the toe decreases slightly because I wasn’t paying attention. Not that it was bad enough to have to do over. I just made notes to make sure I do the
