We're leaving today to go to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving. We'll probably leave in an hour or two. I may or may not be blogging while I'm gone. But, I'll be back in town at the end of the weekend and regular blogging should resume next week.

Winter Wonderland
In an effort to prepare myself for the cold weather, I've been knitting myself a winter ensemble. Oh yeah, baby. I've made a scarf (Wavy from www.knitty.com), mittens with an argyle pattern (from Family Circle Easy Knitting magazine fall issue...they were on the cover), and a hat. The hat is too small and I don't like that I used the flamingo pink as the main color. I'm re-doing it with the burgundy color as the MC and the pink as the contrast. But, that small hat still counts as a finished object so I'm now up to 38 for the year.

Lovely! I think you're right to redo the hat with the colors switched, but the other two look great. I'd love to see a closeup of the mittens if you have a few spare minutes after Thanksgiving. I'm impressed with the way you whip out fair isle (or is it intarsia? I still confuse the two, even though I've done both, and I didn't enjoy the fair isle one bit).
ReplyDeleteYou now produce about eight finished objects for every one of mine. I need to get crackin'!
those are wonderful!
ReplyDeletei hope your T-day is fun i'm excited to see my family finally! whoo hoo!
have a great holiday!!!
The scarf is really pretty. I like the little flowers (or whatever they are). I think you will like the hat better with the colors reversed.
ReplyDeleteI just reversed the colors on the hat and I like it much better! I started the hat before I finished the mittens and I didn't know if I'd have enough of the ruby red to make a whole hat. Well, I did!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern on the mittens is argyle. I'll make sure and do a close-up shot of them soon.
