Yes, I do still knit and blog

I started the diminishing rib sweater from IWK. I am using this Clip yarn that I bought like 2 years and started a tank sweater but I ripped that out and started this new sweater.

I am still working on the aran blanket, I have 1 square left then I have to sew the thing together …

It has been awhile

I have been such a bad blogger and knitter. It has been months since I have really knit anything. With that said I have 1 and a half squares left on the blanket … so it is going to end up being a first birthday present … To the left is a picture of the stack of squares that I will need to sew together (something I did not take into account when I chose it).

I have found a sweater patttern to knit (I think) … it is the front cover of this months IWK. Not sure what I am going to use for it, I have some clip that I started a tank a while back I may rip that out and use that yarn still trying to decide.

Angie Hat …

Here is a picture of the hat I am working on for my daughter … so far I like the way it is comming out. The tricky part – for me at least – is going to be the decrease rounds at the crown of the head. I want to still be able to keep the cables and decrease in the noncable section.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I want a hat … just like this one!

This is what DD said after she got the new outfit for her American Girl Doll. My MIL sent a Christmas dress for DD and her doll the doll got a hat as well so she wanted a hat to match because she LOVED the hat. So I figured out the pattern … I think. I will keep you posted.

My son does not ask for knitted items often ever. It has finally turned cold here and he did not have a hat, so he asked for a hat … I dropped all other project to make the boy a hat.

I am using The Boy Hat pattern and Schachenmayr nomotta Extra. This hat is knitting up quickly I am hoping to finish the hat so he can have it Monday for school.
