Yes, we have had some January. Snow and sub-zero temperatures can dim the spirits of many, but knitters can always look at the upside. Uninterrupted time to stay in those cozy jammies and knit all day long. Not a chance that someone will show up at the door and interrupt the whole thing. Along with recuperating from gallbladder surgery, I had plenty of excuses to stay in my jammies by a warm fireplace watching old movies and knitting. Here are a few of my finished objects.
1. Two scarves. One knit in Noro Silk Garden sock yarn , pattern taken from the book Sock Yarnk One-Skein Wonders. If you don't have this book there are 101 patterns for sock yarn.
The other scarf is a ruffled concoction that I slightly altered from the potato chip scarf pattern. Casting on 30 stitches and doing short rows. Knit with Crazy Zauberball sock yarn
2. A sweet yoked pullover for Coventry. Shipped off to Nebraska in time for her Valentine's party. I got this pattern from my dear friend Sally. She copied it from a magazine that had to come from the 40's or 50's. Knit in one piece, fun and quick.
3. My second sweater from this pattern, Mondo Cable Pulli. Knit from some beautiful Turquoise wook that I purchased a few years back at the Estes Park Wool Festival.
I am trying to knit with the yarn I have and not purchase any more for awhile. We will see how long this lasts.............
