White winter

Ok, I totally finished Nicole's hat the other day and I did not post it, I am not sure why....but I am showing it now...it is much the same as the other hat that I made, but this one was on size 13 needles, and instead of it being the Jiffy Bulky, it is Wool-Ease Bulky...so I changed the stiches a bit, cast on 56,(14 on 4dpns each) you will need a set of 5 dpns, for this and it starts 2 inches of garter stitch, and then 2 inches of stockinette, ad then start the decreases, I did these a bit differently since my Nicole wears a ponytail almost every other day.

Oh no way!

Ok so I had this cool post put together and blogger totally wiped it! UUuhhhGGG! So here is a hat I made for Tavis' Dad, I am starting to think that my Dad may want one as well, and he has a birthday coming up in March, and so does my big brother, I will have to find out what they want...Dad says he wants socks, but we will see..lol. And I made a baby sweater and some booties for my daughters kindergarten teacher, she is wonderful, the best thing since sliced bread, she does not give up on my daughter. I love her strength and caring. She will be a great Mom.

Up to no good, wait that's not what I meant

Ok, So I have been a bit busy, I made another cabled hat, this one is for Tavis' Dad, I am starting to think that my Dad may want one as well. His brirthday is coming up in March. And so is my big brothers. I will need to find out what he would like. You know I knit another black hat just like the one I made for my Dad and my son wanted it, wore it one time to daycare, and boom, gone, I think that's hat number 5 that was stolen. It really sucks that people would steal from a child and never bring it back. Oh sorry, I guess I'm venting, back to the matter at hand. My daughters kindergarten teacher is pregnant and due any day, which would be early, and she is awesome for my daughter, she has done so much I don't know what we would have done without her. So, I made her a baby sweater, it was from Debbie Bliss' Beginner Baby Knits....I LOVE the way the yarn created this strange argyle pattern, totally cool!!!

OK I have been working on my scrap sweater and I am almost done, however here lately I have also been working on a sweater for my dughters kindergarten teacher. She is about to have a little boy. They are so cute and I love sweaters on little babies, especially when you made it! Here is the progress I last took a pic of, it was the sleeve and part of the front and back, You knit this sewater from one side to the other side. And I am now on the last part of the other sleeve. The plan is to use up all of the scrap yarn that I have in that certain guage, which is kind of a shame since I had a bunch of hat requests after I did it, lol.
