These just finished:


Pattern: basic sock, 1X1 rib

Yarn: Paton's Kroy, Colour 54567- Paintbox

For: Jon's feet

Notes: I still don't love how this yarn worked up- I find it too blotchy for my tastes, but others aren't so picky.
Nice to get my hands into something a bit rough for a change.



Speaking of rough, these are coming along slowly:


My gauge is a uneven, but c'est la vie!


This is something I started a little while ago, and haven't done much on lately:


It's a top-down hat form Barbara Walker's Knitting From the Top in some chunky Malabrigo we found a Needles and Pins in London, for 50% off. I'm nervous about it being too big or too small, and the ribbing not being the right size- either not springy enough, or too big, or too small. It's an
experiment. Luckily the cold, cold weather is over, and this won't be wanted until next winter.


And this is the time-sensitive project, a baby blanket for early July. I know I have lots of time, but baby blankets seem to take forever.

Misti Cotton (83% Peruvian Pima Cotton, 17% Silk). Hope it doesn't pill up too badly. The pattern is the Bunny Hop Blanket. I made a chart to work from , and find it much easier to follow. I'm just getting used to it.

I like this projects you´re working on, Malabrigo chunky is mi fav yarn and perfect for a hat.
I´ll check your site to see how the hat is growing.
