Beanie for Mike

After the holidays, I needed to take a break from beanies :)  But now I'm back, knitting a funky new beanie I'm making up as I go along for Mike, who was so kind to watch our girls while we were in AZ.

Cupcake Mittens for Crisser

These are to match the cowl I made for Cristina, and they are my first try at knitting lace patterns - Yarn Overs, here I come!!

Cable Scarf for Erik

This is my second attempt at cabling - and I must admit, it's working out a bit better because I figured out how to prevent the sides of the scarf from curling inward.  Cristina picked out this pattern and yarn for her man, I'm just doing the labor :) 

Funky Socks for Beth

These socks are my first attempt at socks and I'm knitting using the Magic Loop  - Two At A Time - method.  Fun!!! 

My First Sweater

 This is my first sweater.  The pattern is from a 1965 Bernat pattern book and the yarn is from Solitude Wool, where I now help out on Sundays at the Dupont Farmers Market.  It's un-dyed Romney wool and it is super soft and lightweight.  The buttons are from a British seller on Etsy.

Cowl for Crisser

This cowl was in the book I got from Jason's family for Christmas.  It's called the "Infinity Scarf" but I made it smaller and it worked out beautifully.  I'm working now on some matching fingerless mittens to match!  Hopefully when I go to Austin, TX to visit next week, I'll get a better pic :-) that doesn't look like I was drunk when I took it.

Booties for Aiden

My nephew Aiden's booties :)

Scarves for the Sisters

These are two scarves I made for Leslie and Jennifer for Christmas.
