Yesterday, I passed off two pairs of socks which will be used as gifts for two of my favorite young men. The boys aged out of the child category for Christmas and now are included in the name draw. They miss their yearly socks and their very kind grandmother had me make birthday presents.
An auction to benefit the American Cancer Society came out of nowhere. I went into the stash and
The Morning Walk Hat knits up well and can be worn as a beanie or a slouch. As I am a loose knitter, I used 1's and 2's. The yarn was not as cooperative as I would have liked but the hat came out well, and even better, did well at the auction. Would I knit this again. Yes. Yes, I would.
While I am still working on a throw and on a pair of socks (or two or three...or four), I am getting ready to knit a lamb for a fairly new baby. It is time to figure out and queue up the holiday knitting.
I like to do the holiday knitting early as I had feeling rushed during the holidays...life is busy enough without adding knitting stress. Starting earlier also gives me time to look through the yarn I already have....which is a very good thing.
