Just what exactly *have* I knit?

Let's see here...

  • A hat for Bank
  • A hat for Devika (curses, never took a picture of that one)
  • Gloves for Devika (they match the hat)
  • Gloves for me (aka: Sara Darling)
  • A matching hat
  • A hat for me (the red/brown "driving cap" one)
  • A beer cozy
This was all from September to December.  There was no knitting in December or the beginning of January (the withdrawal symptoms were harsh) due to lack of supplies/time.

Also, started about four different pairs of gloves (just for fun) and haven't finished ANY of them yet.  Probably not going to.  No worries.  =) Life is grand.  Checking airlines now to make sure I can bring my knitting on the flight back... =D  Probably can, so it's all good.

"Stand back son, I'm inventing TOAST!"


Ok, now that the Zim reference is over...

I'm actually inventing a skirt pattern.  I'm not sure if it'll work or how it'll look and I might end up completely ripping it all out and starting over later, but for now, I'm pretty danged excited.  =D


...I really hope this works...




**Edited to add: PICTURES!**
Knitted on 18" US 6 circulars

When I first started, I wasn't really sure what it was going to be...  I had this pretty handspun wool that I wanted to play with (the blue and reddish along the bottom) and also had a hand-dyed DK weight (the stripes) that I wanted to use.


Added the green because it matched the hand-dyed DK.  Then the dark blue because it was pretty and waiting to be used.
