Fiber Trend Clogs

The Stats:

Yarn: I used Paton's Merino Wool. The largest women's size took less than 2 skeins of the cuff / sole color, and less than 1 of the upper color. You hold the yarn double for the entire slipper. I used kool-ade dyed fisherman's wool (done like this link) for the bright reddish/blue pair. They didn't felt quite as quickly as the Paton's.

Needles: Bamboo size 13 circulars.

Pattern: The fiber trends clog pattern. I think you have to get it at local yarn shops?

Started: Sometime in October 2007.

Completed: November 25, 2007. They've been knitted for a while, I just had to get to the felting part.

Notes: Another great pattern. They knit up pretty quickly. I liked it!

LD's Topi Hat

The Stats:

Yarn: Sugar & Cream in some red, white, and blue colorway LD picked out herself; one 2.5 ounce ball and a tiny bit of a second ball.

Needles: KnitPicks Options Sizes 6 and 4

Pattern: Topi from knitty.com

Started: 3-27-2007 (I think ~ then set aside for a little bit)

Completed: 4-07-2007

Notes: This is the third time I've made this hat. I love 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. The Little Diva LOVES it!!

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!

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.
