What happened?

I did some knitting since Thanksgiving, but somehow I didn't have time to blog.

I finished an old test knit for Ganiggle, and one mitt of a new test knit.

I will post the pic of the old one as it is now live.

Turkey Day Vs. Knitting

Turkey day won.

I didn't get much knitting done yesterday, in fact not much time to blog either.

I did finish a stocking the day before, so I am taking a break from acrylic for a moment and trying to finish a test knit for Ganiggle.

No pictures yet.

knitting to do list

I am busily knitting on a stocking trying to at least get to the toe, before I go take a shower.

Here is my knitting to do list:

4 ordered stockings (one finished, one almost finished two more to do)

1 scarf for Robin's shop

1 dog stocking (unofficially ordered, may need to wait)

some knitting that Sinclairchili wanted me to do for her, as she can't knit as well
as she wanted after her accident

reknit twist of elegance in more contemporary and available colors

one more Christmas hat (will knit on Sunday)

finish mitts for Mom if I have time

Oh, I suppose I should knit a stocking for my new nephew, but that is last on my to do list at the moment. He's only a week or so old, he won't mind if he doesn't have one this year.

Anything after this is gravy.

Only one left to go

I finished this hat last night right before bed. Ironically the pattern is called "Jesse's Christmas hat" I am giving it to a boy named Daniel though.

Wow

I may get a pattern published. I am not sure, and can't share too much about it, so that's all I can say for the moment. Let you know if it happens.

I am one and a half hats away from finishing the great chrismas hat caper. I am in the middle of one for the oldest boy. Will post pics when it's done.

Freakin' huge fake Isle

I usually make hats that are too big for my freakin' huge noggin. This time I did the opposite.

I make the fake Isle hat

I used size 7 needles instead of 6, so it ended up HUGE! I think I am going to frog it, and do it again.

Trying to decide

I am working on a stocking today, but tomorrow I plan on working on a couple hats. Maybe a larger goomba hat in orange, and a navy blue "boyfriend" hat for the 12 yr old boy. That should complete the hats for the family we have for Christmas this year. Throw in a can of Stephen's hot chocolate and call it good, right?

I am trying to decide if I want to make the Vita cloche (previous purple hat) in pink, or grey or brownish grey, or purple again, and what beads would go with it, as I would have to order more beads. Any suggestions?
