I made this little halter for a freind's baby girl. Very cute and easy, from the Katja pattern on knitty.com. I used the same cotton the pattern calls for and the same needles (I can't remember right now all the details and I am too lazy/busy? to go look). It's one of those things that is cute to make and might be wearable on a SUPER hot day where you have to put something on the baby, but really not that practical overall. Still fun to do though.

Fetching, from Knitty.com, done in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran, in a dusky dark blue. Used exactly 1 whole skein for the set and I only did two rounds of the cableing (the pattern calls for three) so I would suggest 2 skeins just in case. Also, I used size 7 dpns instead of 6's. I should have done the 6's because these are a bit looser than I would've like. I'll know for next time.

This is the Scale Skin Sox pattern from the SixSoxKAL group. I did them in Wildfoote Luxury Sock yarn in blue-blood red (Brown Sheep Yarn Co.) on size 2 dpn's. I started with Brittany Birches but after 3 broke I switched to Crystal Palace and they were much stronger needles in my opinion. One day I'll take a better picture that shows the "scales".

So here is the hooded tunic on the recipient, my munchkin. It fits very well with enough room to last through the winter, early spring and maybe even enough for next fall, we'll see.

I completed this about a month ago. It is Big Mexico yarn (by Schoeller and Stahl? ) and it took me about 6 and 1/2 skeins on size 8 circulars. The pattern is from Pure and Simple and is knit in the round from top down with a kitchener stitch to finish the hood. Went pretty fast for me, about a month of an hour or two in the evenings. I am really happy with the results. This is only the second sweater I've done and it's much better than the first.

Kermit the Frog You scored 47% Organization, 55% abstract, and 69% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables. First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean. Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type. Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself. You are mostly organized, both concrete and abstract, and more extroverted. Here is why are you Kermit the Frog. You are both somewhat organized. You have a good idea where you put things and you probably keep your place reasonably clean. You aren't totally obsessed with neatness though. Kermit is also reasonably tidy. He'll even dress up for interviews. You both are sometimes concrete and sometimes abstract thinkers. Kermit spends a lot of his time as a reporter collecting facts, but he is also the author of the dreamy song "The Rainbow Connection." You have a good balance in your life. You know when to be logical at times, but you also aren't afraid to explore your dreams and desires... within limits of course. You are both extroverts. Kermit gets along with everyone. Sure a few folks annoy him, but that's just because they are annoying. Kermit likes to meet new people when he does his job as a street reporter. You definitely enjoy the company of others, and you don't have problems meeting new people... in fact you probably look forward to it. You are willing to take charge when necessary or work as part of a team. Oh, and in case you were wondering, Kermit starred on Sesame Street years before The Muppet Show. The other possible characters are Oscar the Grouch Big Bird Snuffleupagus Ernie Elmo Cookie Monster Grover The Count Guy Smiley Bert If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on Organization You scored higher than 99% on concrete-abstra You scored higher than 99% on intro-extrovert
