The weekend’s work
December 12th, 2005 at 10:50 am (Finished Items)
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.

Pretty socks! Looks like handsome baby Arlo’s thinking of tickling the toes there. Or eating the slipper. Bet I know which way he decided to move on that decision.
I like all the hats you’ve been making, too.
