Things I have knit and not posted about: Part 1.

This is a hat that I made a few weeks ago for Jim. I found this yarn and loved it. It was the perfect shades of grey. After I got home, I immediately wound a ball and started knitting. Hmm... looks a little more purple now. He says he likes it and I believe him. I also think I will wear it more than he will. Either way, it was a great, quick knit.Pattern: Cap Karma Hat from Smariek Knits.

Yarn: Malabrigo Merino worsted

Goodbye, Christmas. See you again next year.

Whoa, where have I been? The older you get the more stressful Christmas seems to be. Remember the days when all you had to do was wake up Christmas morning? There was no shopping, no traveling, and no splitting time between families. Those were the days.

Anyway, in the upcoming weeks there may be some posting that isn't knitting related. I was much more into crafts when I was younger and learning to knit has got me started up again. I received some great books that I am really looking forward to getting into once I settle down from all the holiday action:I also got 2 years subscription to Martha Stewart Living. What a lucky, lucky girl I am!

Creepy?

Does anyone else think this picture is a little creepy? It is the Kitty pattern from the Winter issue of Knitty. Once I scrolled down and saw the second picture, I felt a little better. But that first picture, man. Creepy.

Le Slouch

Because I mentioned it, here is Le Slouch:This was finished while the camera was broken and I never bothered with this post. It is, of course, Le Slouch by Wendy of Knit and Tonic. I used Blue Sky Alpacas Sport Weight yarn in black.
So...maybe I like black hats. Don't judge me.
