Lots of knitting!

Whew, my needles have been busy lately. I keep getting distracted by small quick projects and procrastinating on my sweaters! Sheesh :)

First, I had a commissioned project for my friend Larissa. She had a mess of knitting gifts to get finished by a set date, and wasn't sure that she was going to make it, so I jumped in and knit up this "batman" mask on her behalf! She paid me for the yarn, and it knit up in 2 days!

Pattern: Zsa Mask  (Rav link)

My friend Candace said her and her mom were knitting preemie hats for charity, and I wanted to help out. I just finished knocking out 4 teeny tiny hats to contribute!

Those are from my own pattern:  Baby Cables Preemie Hats

These are modified versions of this hat: Pixie Hat.  I CO 46 stitches to make it more of a preemie size!

I also got in the mood to make a little something for Norah. Well actually Greg saw the tiny pixie hats I was making and said Norah needed one too :) So here's the "big girl" version for her! (CO 66 sts)

I added an applied i-cord tie to keep it on her head. I also had to make matching mittens to go with the hat!!!

So cute :) I improvised the pattern, just some 1x1 ribbing, then some stockinette, then decreases like at the top of a hat.

Next post: I finally knit something for MYSELF!!!!!

And the FO's keep coming....

Finished the seed stitch scarf for the hubby!!!!!



Finished the little grey baby vest just in time to go see little 2 week old Jackson! Pattern: Pebble



His mom thinks it may even fit him soon, perhaps a little long though :) I do think she will appreciate how it completely unbuttons for easy addition and removal!



Finished just NOW these teensy baby mittens!!! Don't you love the colors? <3


Pattern: Infant mittens from Knitting to Go

This weekend will be busy but fun! Saturday I am running a 5K race (I havent run one in a couple years, eek lol) and hopefully hitting up both the zoo AND Johnny Appleseed festival! Can't wait for the festival... its always so much fun!!!!
