Gettin' Knitty Wit It

Knitting makes me happy.  So I knit.  A lot.  It's good.  One day I hope to design my own patterns, but for now I'm a big fat copycat!  And I'm okay with that, for now.  Here are a few sampling of the items I've knitted in the past few months.

This was my first sweater this winter. 

Knitting from the top down...

Every project yields a lesson.  I'll spare you the details.

Don't have a final photo of this one, but the yarn is pretty; it's a hat for my friend Esme's baby girl, Keely.  I made one for her other baby girl, June, as well.

Hat #3 for Justin; the first two were lost, one of which was found shortly after making this one.  The first was spotted by a friend on a stranger in the Mission somewhere.  Tiff called to tell Justin somebody was wearing his hat!

Working with HUGE size 19 needles..

To make this..

Up close.  Some more mistakes that I won't bother to point out..

Attempted socks for Justin (too big).

My brother requested a hat in KU colors.  Justin was sleeping when I needed a model.  He's so cooperative.

For Miss Georgia, our niece.  This sweater was so gratifying to knit.  It's beautiful!

Another total copy, down to the handmade redwood buttons I got from a woman on Etsy.

Gratuitous shot.

Last but not least, my first design.  It's super simple, but oh so warm and cozy!  Wish I had put bigger buttons on it.. next time.
