Crocus Hat

A quick and easy hat from Grumperina.

I needed a close-fitting hat and this quick and easy project fitted the bill.

Knitted in Hug from The Yarn Yard.

Rainbow Swallowtail

A new Finished Object – my Kauni Rainbow version of the Swallowtail Shawl. This project has a long history – this is a long post!

“…The project went well, or so I thought, and it grew very quickly – but looked somewhat odd. I had knitted shawls before, but only tip-up, with a clear understanding of the increases and the way on which it was shaped. Trying to get my head around the centre-top, out-and-down construction was difficult. In fact, I adopted a wait-and-see approach, looking forward to the eventual surprise…”

A couple of FOs

Three finished objects in one post!

“It seems like forever since I began the Baby Surprise Jacket. I had just heard that a friend and former colleague and his wife were to have a baby. Baby was due December 16th, but I couldn’t resist casting on immediately. I got most of the jacket done in a day, knitted a bit more the day after… then it languished – for reasons I am now uncertain about.

The project took a kick in the pants when N e-mailed me this week …”

Private Comfort

Earl Grey socks in Toddy yarn. Basically a lovely semi-plain bloke pattern…

These are really splendid socks. The recipient loves them, and so do I.

Mr Plumbum’s Desk Mitts

I finally mustered sufficient backbone to sew in the ends on these mitts. They were finished this evening and have already been deployed. Appropriate appreciation was shown.

Water Socks

Opal socks FO.

I managed to get a few unwanted lines in these. They’ll probably ease out when I wash them. Pretty socks. For me.
