Mikknit

First, I finished Creeping Vines Sock #2:]

The details: Shelridge Farm Soft Touch Ultra in Plum, size 1 neesles (2 circulars method), with a side of cute baby. Oh, and those are paint splatters on the floor, not dust bunnies. Gotta love the people we bought the house from. *eyeroll*

Then, I finished MIL’s hat:

The details: Cascade Ecological Wool, 84 stitches on a size 8. My own pattern again, but with 6 decreases instead of 7 since apparently math is not my strong suit. I cast on the first of a pair of mittens in the same yarn last night, using size 7 needles for a firmer fabric (I’m a sloppy loose knitter, I admit it). I’m using the mitten pattern from The Knitter’s Handy Book of Patterns, which has served me well. A good basic book for a knitter’s bookshelf, in my opinion.

I’m resisting the siren song of sock knitting, for now. We’ll see how long that lasts.
