Slipped Stitches

A small group of knitters with a range of knitting experiences - from the wise Maple Girl to the careful and fresh faced Sauce, and the full throttle knit or die style of Sly. Enjoy our varied projects and thoughts, and if you don't have anything nice to say...well...you know.

 

Happy New Year!

Hi knitters! Coco's out, so in a small fit of domesticity, I knit up a wee hat for her using leftover wool from these mitts (Sauce I totally copied you)...



I used Brown Sheep Co's handknit originals wool...soooo soft. Anyways, I tried to get Sal to try on the hat for me (he's usually a pretty good model) but he was not cooperating.


Why do you hate me Sal, why?

Here's the hat, shapeless, and without feline model.

 
 

Project Update

Well, Christmas has come and gone, and the 2 main projects I wanted to complete are finished. The baby hat and socks were actually given in November as they were going to soon be too small. Here is the happy recipient of the knitted gifts.

Also, the second project, a scarf for my aunt, got finished miraculously. I notice in my last post that I indicated I was "almost done" the scarf. That was November 24th. Funny how EXACTLY one month later, the time had just flown by, with no scarf to show. Anyhow, it turned out great - I think I just work best under pressure. Here it is:


That's it for now! Latest Project is a sweater for myself from Yarn Girls Guide to Simple Knits. Big Needles + Big Wool Doubled Up = happiness. We'll see.
