Last of the trio. This one was for my sister done in the variegated yarn that Morehouse Farms offers in its bulky line. I believe it's in the Indian Summer colorway.

This kit is a great way for beginning knitters to get into it all. I enjoyed that it taught me how to do a dropped stitch on purpose. I made three of these this summer for a few of the women in my family. Posted is the one in Iris. The other two will follow. Happy to be blogging!!
Here's the completed spring peeper from moorehouse farms. I originally was thinking of giving this to H, but at the last minute needed a baby gift for a friend, and gave it to her instead. I made another one using knitpick cotton yearn for H. it actually worked out better since the knitpick yarn is machine washable.
Thought I'd show the baby hat I made for one of my friends. Simple earflap hat from somewhere online. Her one request was that it could be tied on to keep him from removing the hat. I used two types of Debbie Bliss: baby cashmerino in black and another type in scarlet. On size 10 needles, except for the decreases and the i-cords. What can I say she's a S. Carolina fan. And what can I say he's just too cute not to post.
Thought I would post a picture of my first hat and scarf from last fall. Hard to believe I've only been knitting a little over a year. I've come a long way from just the knit stitch. Now if I could just catch up to my stash...need to stop buying and start knitting.

One of the first things I learned to make after scarves were hats. I had given all my close friends and family scarves that first winter, but this was the first thing I made that was decent enough to give to a co-worker. Unlike close friends and family who are suppose to humor you and tell you that everything you make is great, co-workers are different. Since than several other co-workers have gotten variations of this. modified from Hip Knits.
After several attempts to send large photos through e-mail to share the newest completed project, this was the best solution for 3 friends living in 3 states.
