I'm just knocking them out...aren't I?


This is another Sock Head Hat that I made for a friend. This pattern is perfect for Collinette Jitterbug (the old yardage) There is just the right amount for this hat with just a little tiny bit left over. I hear the new Jitterbug has more yardage so you can at least make a pair of socks out of it.

Although I did make a pair of socks out of the old yardage. They weren't very tall socks. I see myself making a lot of these as I have a few skeins of this.

I can't believe how I am actually finishing up stuff. I am itching to start another sweater so I can wear this fall and winter. But I promised the husband a scarf. So nothing new, well except the scarf...until that's done.
Oh and I have started it by the way...

this moment...a finished sweater just in time!

this moment - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor, and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see. Thank you soulemama

Business time...

Where oh where have I been? I must do better than post once a week!

I am very proud of myself. I am getting stuff done. My UFO's that is. But I think I will spread them out so I can have some blog fodder for the next couple of posts.
I gave you a sneak peak of a hat design I was working on. Well I finished it up!
I present: Theodosia

I am teaching classes at my favorite lys and shop owner Susan said we needed a beginner stranded knitting class. So I thought something with a bulky weight yarn would help get the job done fast.
I came up with the name Theodosia because the scrolly work on it reminded me of Victorian scroll work. So what do you do? Google those words and then narrow it down to a list of popular Victorian girl names. There you have it. The yarn is Berroco Pure Merino and it is super soft. This pattern will only be available through the yarn shop though as a kit for now.
I liked it so much I decided to make another one going the opposite way with the colors.
I haven't gotten very far....
