Jess's gift

I realized I can blog about the present I knit for my buddy Jess since I already gave it to her!

I made her a Krtek (rav link) scarf/cowl thing:

I love how the texture is so bumpy and fun :-) Yarn is Cascade Eco + leftover from a vest I made for my SIL.  Hope you like it Jessica!!!!

Finish line

I have to wait to post my Christmas knitting until after my family does our Christmas tomorrow, but in the meantime I finished these fingerless mitts I started in like september...

Pattern: Susie's Reading Mitts

They are for a friend battling leukemia, and they match a hat that I made her last year! I hope she likes them.

The funniest part is I BARELY had enough yarn to make these. I started getting worried about halfway though the second glove, and had to knit "really fast" to squeak out the second thumb, but I made it!!!! Here is how much I had leftover:

Wow! :-) Here's hoping I am inspired to work on my other UFOs... they are TOO many right now!

That comic describes a lot of my knitting projects right now :-)

Happy 5th blogiversary to me! Gosh has it been that long??? :-) I don't have any knitting to show you right now (infants sure do demand a lot of attention!), but here's a picture of my little pumpkin being super adorable. Again, thanks to anyone out there who actually reads this blog!
