Well, get on with it!


You would think I would have something posted here by now, wouldn't you?

Well, you should be right.


Does this count? D2 and I whipped this one up one Saturday a while back.

It's a lovely pale pink Cabbage Patch Preemie hat. Kind of.

Or, it could be a slightly fluffy doily. The ribbing didn't exactly pull it in like I meant for it to. The string for the end of the bind off acts as a ribbon to keep it on. Kind of.

Pattern? Well, I'll see about it.

The blue crayon hooded vest

From the "everything has a hoodie" time frame.
Very soft German wool and cotton blend that I got from eBay.
Pretty blue with crayon speck flecks. This one started out as Son2's, but now it is D2's. Has a roomy sweatshirt pouch pocket on the front.
The hood has funky "ears" that weren't supposed to be there, and the hood isn't quite the right shape. It doesn't come far enough forward over the top of the head to stay up. I was rebelling against the typical hood with a seam at the 'center part' and a point at the crown of the head.
It was really fun to knit though.
The stitch pattern is from the Harmony Guides 220 Aran Stitches and Patterns - Volume 5, 1998. I think it's an Arrow Head stitch. Or at least Son2 thought it looked like arrowheads. He was only this size for about 2 weeks during the hottest part of July, so he didn't really wear it much. His teddy bear was wearing it until his sister got ahold of it. I bet teddy will get it back next Summer.

FO = Finished Objects

A log of the projects that I actually have finished.
There have been a few.
Really.

Did I give them all away?
