I was finished this hat a week or two ago - before Christmas I think - and I hadn't taken a picture yet! It was a super quick knit and it's oh so soft to wear.
I have enough left of the Bernat Alpaca blend yarn to make some gloves too I think! I'll be casting those on after my next pair of socks. I just need to figure out which of my stash yarns I'm going to use for the socks and whether I'm going to try a specific pattern or just do a ribbed pair.
Oh, and the sweater is almost done! I have one sleeve totally knit and sewn in to the shoulder slot! (THANKS Hope!!) I am so darn proud of myself! The last sleeve is on the needles now and after that it's just sewing and the neck band left. I have the end in sight! If I was still on vacation I would have said that it'd be done in a couple of days, but since I'm starting my internship tomorrow I'm going to guestimate beginning of next week. My first sweater!
Sweater progress looks great! You're cruising right along!

ReplyDeleteI signed up for a learn-to-knit class this Saturday. We're going to make a hat! I'm just excited about finally beginning the craft.
Bonnie = I'm super excited for you! Be careful though, knitting can take over your life. hehe
