Latest Projects

After finishing the baby booties, pictured in my last entry, I got going on a hat for myself. This was my first project involving cables, which was fun. Most of what I have made, since beginning to knit a year ago,has been for other people, so it's kinda fun to be able to enjoy something that I actually made. I know this is not a great picture, but I had a really hard time trying to capture a clear picture of myself wearing the hat. This is the best I could do.

I had set a goal of finishing up all the projects I have begun, but then I found this fun hat pattern in a book I received for Christmas and had to try it. A friend of mine just had a little girl, so it was the perfect excuse to try the pattern. Well, we will see if I ever get the hat done. I did make it through the hardest part of the pattern, the lace, but this little hat is knit on size 2 needles and made with fingering weight yarn. Eek! I am thinking its a good thing I am making the largest size hat, since this may turn into a first birthday gift instead. Here is the current state of the little hat. Kinda fun, just tiny. Kinda wondering if I will be able to part with this project once it gets finished up. Not that I have any use for anything pink around here, but still.
