My sock knitting is at a stand still. I have knit a few Bounce hats made out of Andy's Merino from Farmhouse yarns. It is a real fast knit. Done on size 10 needles. I normally hate bulky yarn but have become addicted to this pattern. I have done 2 so far and plan on getting another skein for one this week.
I am also going to try my hand at a knitting board and slipper kit that I saw advertised somewhere. They look nice and cosy. The soles are suede so I am assuming are going to be quite durable.
There I finally figured out how to put a picture in this thing. Don't they look cosy?
I am also going to order Delta jacket pattern and yarn to work on it is for a felted jacket. I saw it in the new Interweaves Knitted Gifts issue. It is from Knowknits.com .
I am getting real ambitous here and saw these also in the same magazine. I am not using the Jamison yarn they call for though. Too expensive. I think I will use the Palette yarn from Knitpicks.
I just love to do fairisland knitting. I made the stocking cap out of Knits magazine several years ago and some mitts last year.
I really hate this time of the year the cold and all, but I do love to knit and wear hats, scarves and mittens and such. We organized our coat mess this weekend and my daughter came up with a huge pile of my knitwear that I wear all winter. I actually wore my newest Bounce hat yesterday from the time I got dressed. I covers up and tames my wild hair. I think I will probably will start wearing them at work too once it gets a little cooler in the building. It will juat be a matter of time before it does since I work in a warehouse.
