Another Finished Project...

So it's been a few days, but I've been somewhat busy. Firstly, I finished the basketweave scarf! There is my wonderful husband enjoying the goodness of alpaca :) Since I had no other major projects available to me (most of my stash was left behind in Denver when we moved to Georgia) , I cast on a new pair of socks.
The yarn is Happy by Wendy, colorway is Aries. Since my first pair of socks didn't fit me, I'm hoping this pair will be more comfortable on my tiny feet. Don't get me wrong, I love my first pair of socks :) They were just too large... Oh well. We learn and move on.

I actually do have a commissioned project, but I just need to wait for the yarn to get here. I'm super excited! Also, I'm in love with these. I saw them and they called to me. I will get them soon. I wonder if I can make a matching scarf to wear with the socks? *thinks* It may work. Only time will tell.

In other news, my wonderful hubby promised me a ball winder for Christmas! Even though I taught myself to knit a few years ago, it's only recently that I've been inspired to take it seriously. I blame the Yarn Harlot. She amuses me to no end.

I have a package coming from Ravelry. I love getting things in the mail. eBay was a weakness of mine in college when I bought things just to get mail. Sad I know, but what can ya do?

Finished Two Projects!

Yay I finished two projects last night! The hubby had to work a late night so I stayed up and waited for him to get home.

The Multidirectional Scarf is finished! Here it is in all it's colorful glory:

I'm very happy with it. It was a quick and easy pattern to follow and it was a lot of fun watching the colors change from stitch to stitch on my needles. I ended up with only a tiny bit left over too! Not enough to really do much with, but too much to justify throwing it out. I'll figure something out later, but for now the remnants will live in my stash. :)

I also finished this hat, which I started a long while ago.

It's going to my brother. I knit him a wicked cool scarf a while ago, and he wanted a hat that he could wear with it. So I started this after hunting down some more alpaca yarn and then for some reason it got put on hold. The ear flaps I had to frog back because the gray was too thin to do much protection for the ears. Just doubling the yarn up made it much more substantial though. We are pleased. Just in time too! His birthday is in a few days and I was trying to figure out what to get him. I was wondering why I didn't finish this hat sooner, but everything worked out :)

Now I get to finish this! Also started almost a year ago... ^_^()


I think this will go to the hubby when finished. You can't tell from the pic, but it's a nice dark green. Alpaca with a Twist calls it Mountain Green. Knit in a simple basketweave pattern, it should go faster than it is, but apparently I can't count to 5 on a consistent basis. Oops. Oh well, it's just slow moving.

I will finish this eventually, but it's just a filler project until I get the yarn and pattern for a project my friend requested. More about that to come later. :)
