Man I've been doing some knitting though you wouldn't know it to look at my blog. So much for my once a week update. Here are some things I've been up to:
This is a hat for MOI in the new Patons SWS yarn in the Natural Pink colorway. We did a secret pal swap this month on our DFW Chicks with Sticks yahoo group & this was one of the yummy things in my bag. I just love the color and it was awesome to knit with.
Ok, this is also for me. I have been wanting a pink alpaca scarf & here it is - Cameo Faggot scarf pattern using Plymouth Chunky Alpaca yarn. I love knitting with this stuff. Muchly.
This is a gift for Patrick's dad using the same Plymouth Chunky Alpaca in ivory - obviously - knit in a basket weave pattern.
Fetching fingerless mitts knit with Debbie Bliss merino dk yarn that I found on sale - this was my first attempt at this Knitty.com pattern but be on the lookout for more, these are a gift but I'm in the middle of mitt #1 of my second pair.
This is an accidental knit if there is any such animal. I was walking with my Ipod the other day & it was really getting on my nerves - the whole having to hold it while I walk thing. I started dreaming up a really easy sock type thing that I could hang around my neck like the Ipod Shuffle. Here ya go! Knit with Caron Simply Soft in PANK obviously - really easy. This was my first attempt at knitting icord & I really enjoyed it. I am easily fascinated I suppose.
That's it for now folks! I have several projects OTN but I'm not naming them because several of them have "frog" written all over them.

So good to see all your FOs at one place. I LOVE that hat. The scarves are pretty - and the Ipod holder. Do you realize that you are now a 'designer'! yes - you are... don't fight it. You redesigned your hat and designed the ipod holder. Verryyy cool.
Very busy this fall. The hat is GREAT!! The colors and striping are just gorgeous. The scarfs are very nice. I need to try to that Alpaca. I haven't knit with Plymouth's yet. The iPod carrier GREAT!
