Right now, I have only three projects going. Did I forget to mention the little hat and booties project I started the other night? I looked at my Ravelry Stash page and saw the orange Berroco Comfort DK sitting up there in the first position and thought - Hey! I should make a pumpkin type hat or something for the baby gift box. Well, it may have to be my spin on a pumpkin hat, as I don't think I have a good green to go with the orange....It is Cold Sheep Year around here; so, I'm not going to go out and buy a whole ball of yarn just for the top of the hat. I'll think of something.
All this talk just to say, I don't have any new finished projects to share, but here's one that I finished in July. I made it as a wedding present for a good friend of mine:
I found the pattern online...It's a free Crystal Palace Yarns pattern. I used a worsted weight yarn doubled and size 15US needles. I like the monochromatic textured look.
Speaking of the Cold Sheep Year...I am having a lot of fun looking through the stash boxes and coming up with projects I want to make. I've had a particular project in mind for most of the yarn I've purchased throughout the last ten years. (Can you believe that prior to that, I had no yarn hanging around my house...except for the ancient UFO that I've had for about twenty years? I don't want to talk about that right now.) I've changed my mind about a few of those proposed projects, several times since I've bought most of that yarn.
There's some yarn I've bought with no particular project in mind...It was a "good deal." Those good deals sure have a way of coming back and biting you in the butt.
Then there's the sock yarn...It can turn into...well, socks - but the actual patterns I will use are still a mystery. Some sock yarn may turn into a shawl or two. I don't know....I kind of like the mystery.
MK out.
