with cooler weather clearly on it's way i've been on a knitting spree. husband has been asking me to knit him a new winter hat for a while now and i finally found a pattern i liked. it's knotty but nice from knitty.com.
i'm pretty excited about how it turned out. i only consider myself a casual knitter and i've never used a cable chart before. success!
{as i may have previously mentioned, husband hates having his photo taken so you'll have to accept this flat photo as an action shot}
i also made a new pair of fingerless gloves for me. i love mittens and gloves {of the fingerless variety} and this pattern is actually the reason i learned to knit. i stumbled upon it years ago and immediately bought stitch 'n bitch, taught myself how to knit and within 10 days made myself a pair of these.
unfortunately i lost one glove last year and needed a new pair. and since i live in wildcat country now, i thought this was fitting:
and then, just for fun, i whipped up one of those big chunky cowls i've been seeing all over the place {ahem, etsy}
i used some light blue/grey wool from an old sweater i frogged last year. i'm thinking about making some matching mittens out of it, too.
i think i've satisfied the knitting itch.
for now.

ReplyDeleteThose clothes are so cute! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great! I wish I could sew and stitch like that. I get like that with papercrafting though.
ReplyDeleteWow, all your knitting endeavours look amazing! I am seriously green eyed - I have tried knitting but I just don't think it's my forte.
ReplyDeleteMy poor mum spent hours with me teaching me how to do it, but I promptly forgot all she said!
