Crater Lake
Explaining to us why he had to "play" with the tree. This was all about an hour before he fell face forward on a sharp lava rock and missed stabbing his eye by less than an millimeter.
Wizard Island
This is the munchkin playing with some sticks on Wizard Island at Crater Lake this past September.
M's halter top
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 don't ya think
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.
Red scale sox
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".
Munchkin in Hoodie
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.
Toddler Hooded Tunic
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.
