Oh I'm slow...

So I realized (after Gaia pointed it out) that I haven't updated to this site at ALL since September. Basically, since I started my real job.

Well, maybe it's time to fix that. First, a photo from the past:

Here's the first kitty hat I made. I actually just handed over another three to Gaia (hi!), but they all share similar qualities. These are very fast to make and I made up my own version of the pattern, so if anyone wants the pattern (or would like to buy one), just comment!

I keep realizing how many things I've made and gifted without taking pictures. Also, how many things I am STILL WORKING ON. Years later. I'm not a slow knitter, but I tackle way too many projects at once. I want to finish the cream and burgundy afghan, possibly this weekend, and I'll take pix when it's done. I've been nearly finished with the lavendar baby blanket for ages and ages, so that would be good as well. Also on the needles? A very pretty peach baby sweater (reverse stockinette with cables on the front, back and sleeves. Socks (I'm past the instep on the second sock, you'd think that would motivate me to finish the things). Also a crocheted motif afghan (1/3 done), the crocheted table topper (maybe for Valentine's Day 2008?), and I seriously want to knit a fitted sweater. The bust size is precluding me from this, though. I did knit almost an entire sweater from a Chicknits pattern, but it didn't turn out right. Darn.

My favorite knitted items so far are the Coronet in teal, and my Harry Potter scarf. They do NOT go well together. And I love the hat, but I find the Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride to be a bit too itchy, it makes my forehead break out. This is fine for short-term outside wear, but I need to make an acrylic hat for bumming around inside and out. Or maybe normal people don't get so cold they need to wear a hat while in the office. Hmm.
