Fetching Mitts

The Stats

Yarn: Tan Paton's Merino Wool, Hand dyed by me with kool-aid and food coloring
Needles: Clover bamboo dpns US size 4
Pattern: Fetching Mitts from knitty
Started: February 24, 2007
Completed: February 28, 2007
Notes: I had these done by Monday, but I wove in the ends on the 28th. Good thing I made a gauge swatch, because I think the pattern calls for a size 6 needle! Must have been from using different yarn than the pattern calls for. Super quick, fun knit. I like these ones a lot. I'll probably wear them for St. Patrick's Day, with the matching hat, and then let LD have them. She loves them!

Marji Scarf

The Stats

Yarn: Jo Sharp Rare Comfort Kid Mohair
Georges Picaud Super Palace
Muench Yarns Cleo
Katia Gatsby Lux; All from Marji!
Needles: Size 8 circulars, metal ones, I can't remember the brand.
Pattern: A neat scarf pattern that Marji sent with the yarn, CO 250 sts. and knit, basically let the yarns do all the work.
Started: October 2, 2006
Completed: February 27, 2007
Notes: I swear I am not the world's slowest knitter! I caught some startitis this fall and cast on for way too many projects! This means I did get another UFO done for the UFO along I'm in. The pictures do not show how absolutely spectacular this yarn is.

Thank you, Marji, for the wonderful gift! I love it!

LD's Broadripple Socks

The Stats

Yarn: KnitPicks Simple Stripes yarn, left over from socks I made for LD's Granny and myself in two different colorways. I don't think they have this yarn any more. :( I liked it!
Needles: 2 Clover circulars; bamboo; US size 3
Pattern: Broadripple from knitty
Started: November 7 or 8, 2006
Completed: January 11, 2007
Notes: I could have finished these in a weekend. It's really time to stop having startitis! LOL I really like this pattern and the yarn.

Green Hat Knit-Along

The Stats:

Yarn: Less than 223 yards of Tan Paton's Classic Merino Wool Handyed by me with Kool-Aid
Needles: KnitPicks Options Size 7 and 5

Pattern: Topi from knitty.com

Started: February 1, 2007

Completed: February 4, 2007

Notes: I loved this pattern, even though I don't like w&t that much. I think if I knew how w&t worked, it wouldn't be so weird to me. I should have made the medium, as its a little big. I always seem to think my head is bigger than it really is. I made this for the Get Stitchy Green Hat Knit-Along. I'm going to wear it to a St. Patrick's Day Party in March! Fun!
