Happy New Year

Happy Belated 2009! I hope you all had a great Holiday Season.

I just wrote a very large post of the projects I finished last year, and was informed of an error when I went to publish it. I hadn't saved it, so I lost the whole thing! I've got to remember to save my posts in the future!

So, instead of doing one huge post, I'll post the projects one at a time:)

Here's the first project I finished in December, the Babette Blanket.

I started this project in March of 2008, and then got sidetracked over the summer. I pulled it out again in November and was able to finish it before Christmas. It was a lot of fun, and best of all, I didn't buy any yarn for it! It was made completely out of leftover yarns and single balls I had laying around.





Pattern: Babette Blanket by Kathy Merrick
Yarn: Worsted/Aran Weight Leftovers: Cascade 220, Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted, Karabella Aurora 8, Malabrigo Worsted, Plymouth Galway, Noro Kureyon, Araucania Nature Wool and more.
Hook: 4.0 mm (G)
Mods: Used Worsted instead of Fingering Weight Yarn
Ravel It!

Fall Knitting

I like fall so much, and I always look forward to fall knitting, also. There's so many great patterns and yarns, and I'm beginning to want to cast on for several projects at once.

So, I created a mosaic of some of the projects I'd like to knit.

Yeah, I think I'd need about three times as much time as I have to knit all that. Or maybe four times as much. At least I've got lots to choose from! I'll be starting on the Equinox Yoke Pullover first. Here's the yarn, all wound and ready to go.



I've actually made my swatch and just need to block it now. And in other knitting news, the front and back of the Josephine Top are finally finished, and I hope to do the sleeves tonight.



I've also added another panel to the Babette Blanket - just one more to go!



I had to frog my Meida's Sock because I couldn't get the leg on past my heel - it was too tight. I've always been a tight knitter, so I guess this is a reminder to loosen up a bit.



I'm not sure if I'll try the Meida's with this yarn again, maybe I'll make another pair of Waving Lace Socks.

Hopefully I'll have a finished Josephine Top for next time!
