and, and, and
what do i have to show for it?
well, not much, i'm sorry to say - just a couple of hats!
and a couple more that i haven't photoed yet (i promise i'll get on that sooner than later!)
supposedly january is 'selfish knit' month with the holidaze finished and such, this is our (knitters in general) opportunity to knit for ourselves. since i don't seem to have a problem doing that most of the time, i decided that bustin' stash with some hats was the ticket for me!
the first pic is of a hat designed by erica jackofsky entitled: southmoor and is knit from blue moon fiber arts 'socks that rock heavyweight'. it is a delicious combo of green, brown and blue and i used size 3 and 5 needles for this adventure.
the second hat is designed by linda shelhamer and is entitled: xenocryst. this was knit on #6 needles out of cascade yarns '220 heathers'. along the way i got to try out a new cast-on and a new lace stitch - always a plus when you learn a new technique!
and stepping back in time just a tad, i'll share a couple of pictures of holidaze knitting.
i knit four scarves out of cascade yarns 'indulgence' with lots of cables and a keyhole opening for securing around ones neck.
four pairs of fingerless mitts, baby cable handwarmers by linda kirschner out of debbie bliss 'cashmerino aran'.
and a burnished leaves cowl by chrissy prange out of cascade yarns 'indulgence'. looking back, i guess i do deserve a little break during january as i did do a lot of knitting in december! whew!
