My first FO for the month was some Superwash BFL from the Cloudlover Fiber Club I got as a present for X-Mas. 524 yards of a lace to light fingering weight.
Midsummer Night's Dream Socks by Natalie Bursztyn. I purchased some beautiful Merino/Cashmere/Nylon yarn from Never Enough Thyme. Between the yarn and the pattern, these socks turned out to be my most favorite pair yet.
Look! I got some crocheting done too! I was ask to make a couple of these hats for some Michigan fans. I made an adult hat and a toddler hat. This pattern was knit out of some left over I Love This Yarn and was very well written making these hats fly off my hook. Michigan Wolverines Helmet Hat by Brooke Krueger.
I love test knitting and I really love knitting a Lee Meredith pattern. The Cabled Haka is cute, easy and extremely fast to knit up in some Loops & Thread Charisma. I was testing this for a toddler size and it came out very well. Although Lee doesn't have the toddler version in her pattern, you can easily refer to my note's for the pattern if you wish to make one.
Some more crochet! I was asked by a coworker for a hat that she had seen in a picture on Etsy. The picture was of a newborn wearing a photo prop newsboy type hat. Some searching around on Ravelry and I came up with the Newsboy Hat by Marcelle's Creative Crochet. Crocheted out of some Caron One Pound, this was a fairly straightforward pattern where I only had one 'huh?' moment.
My new favorite winter hat. The Knit Night Hat by Judy Marples is knit out of some Manos del Uruguay Maxima. I wanted a more beanie type fit and lined so I used up every inch of the yarn. I added the pin I got for X-Mas for a little pop of bling.
The Voodoo you love me? pattern by Susan Claudino was kindly gifted to me from Casey of Tangerine Designs. He's so cute! I knit him out of some Lion Brand Fishermen's Wool yarn I dyed forever ago. I have him here pimped out with miscellaneous stuff around my house.
Mmmmm! I spun this luscious Polwarth/Silk blend I got from Never Enough Thyme in the Gingerbread Man colorway.I already have plans for it.
