FO's galore!

There's a story that goes with this hat. I saw a Youtube video of the knitting of this hat but unfortunately, it was being knitted by someone who spoke Polish. So I watched the video about 10 times so I could write down every step of the process and translate the pattern into English. And now we can all make this hat. I'm sure you'll see some more in the future.

I knitted this beret called Slice of Pie beret. It's a thank you to a friend who gave me some yarn to use for our charity knitting. 

Maureen finished her sage green 1898 hat and it's warm and cozy.

Jan. P. brought four finished objects to add to our inventory. They are both lovely sets. I didn't catch the name of this pattern but...

this is the Irma hat she worked so diligently over the last few months. And the matching scarf is called Outlaw, designed by someone we both knew.

And here are some of the patriotic blankets in all their glory. I think a couple of more will be added soon. It's so nice to see everyone's differing interpretations on a theme.

Maureen continues to work on a pretty triangular scarf using a self striping yarn.

I tried using up some of the yarn left from the finished blanket so I'm making a watchman's cap.

Cinzia picked up her crochet hook for her second patriotic blanket.

Jan P. worked on her 1898 hat. First step is making the ear band.

Barbara B. is making the cutest hat!

It's even the same color as the one in the pattern.

Jan just started her newest project, a hat. She learned a valuable lesson too...never try to cast on and count stitches while talking. LOL!

This pattern will be teaching her how to make baby cables without a cable needle.

Barbara K. is making the Antler Hat from TinCanKnits as a gift for her son. Oops! I hope he doesn't read this! Maybe it's not a surprise.

I decorated the hearth for the season and noticed I didn't have a stocking for my daughter's fiance so Mike got his own stocking this weekend. It took me about 3 days to make this giant sock based on a basic top up pattern.

I'm not knitting any gifts this year to make life a little less stressful. Deadlines freak me out! So I'm going to sit back, relax, and enjoy the month of December by knitting only when I feel like it. (cough,cough, always, cough, cough) LOL!!!

Keep those needles clicking!

Variety is the spice of life!

Barbara added her version of a Palindrome Hat to our inventory today. She used the basic cable pattern from the scarf to make the hat thinking the cables would show on the right side only but Surprise! It's reversible!

 She found these lovely bamboo circular needles for $2.00 at the job lots store in Albany. She was going to buy them in every size but the had only size 8. Oh well, she still got a bargain. She started a Mistake Stitch Scarf with the prettiest copper sparkly yarn.

 Cinzia was all in purple to match her hat in progress.

 Beth came armed with some FO's. A baby blanket was finished using Plymouth Encore in baby pastel colors.

 Then there was the black and red cowl and...

 a felted purse which she made to learn how to felt a project and then never used it. Someone will be grateful for a lovely purse.

 Margaret finished the ribbing on her hat and added the new color for the next section.

 Maureen worked on her hat ribbing and will be starting the stockinette and reverse stockinette sections next.

 Dorah was on such a roll with her baby hat that she knitted a deeper ribbed portion than the pattern called for so it will have a nice folded edge for warmth around the ears.

 She showed us her personal project for herself. This Minty Bricks scarf will change colors as she progresses through the ball of yarn. Can't wait to see the next color!

 Carole has 18 more rows to knit on the ear band of her 1898 hat and then she'll graft the ends together, pick up stitches, and knit the crown of the hat. This is a quick and fun project to knit.

 Beth's Last Minute Cowl looks lovely in this bright orange yarn. The yarn is also showing off the stitch definition very nicely.

 I started a Watchman's Cap today and hope to have it finished this week. This is another quick knit and easy to memorize.

 Here is Maureen's finished Last Minute Cowl ready to go into inventory.

It is finally sweater weather here in the Northeast and I'm loving it! My closet has been changed over to the fall and winter wardrobe and I'm ready. Bring on the lower temps!
