Our Unofficial Mascot: We need a name

I made this for Betty as a thank you for hostessing a wonderful dinner for London friends Carol and Martyn.
We need to name this little chicklet/rooster/mascot, don't you think?

March Madness

My needles and hooks have been busy this month.  Making gifts, and making small baby blankets to be donated to Afghans for Angels.  I don't have all my pictures, but this is a start to getting caught up.

HDC scarf


Elfin cowl
I made these for my Wichita State friends.

Another cowl


This is Malabrigo worsted, and I love the colors, but my neck is not near long enough.

More to come...

What to do when you can't go outside? Knit, knit, then knit some more!

It was cold and snowy last week, so I started four projects, and finished three of them!
Heart Washies


Mug cozy

Fingerless gloves
I realized I haven't taken a picture of the Willow cowl, which I made the mitts to compliment.  I'll have to find it and get a picture posted.

New Year; some FO's; a bit of insanity

My needles have been smokin' the past few weeks.  I will showcase my FO's, then venture into my new insane project.

Red Robin Shawl



Advent Shawl:  Lace wintersweet


Capelet


The capelet needs to be blocked, but I love it!!!!  SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  soft.

Okay, now for my insane undertaking.  Even though I was warned (thanks GerryArt), I decided to do a test knit for a deluxe version of the lace wintersweet!  I used worsted wt. yarn (1st mistake) and after a few sections completed, calculated the shawl would be 90 inches long!!!  I talked with the designer, and she okay'd me to omit a few sections.  I'm over halfway finished!!  I have until the 31st to get it done, but with 6 sections removed, I should be able to do it!  Pictures will follow at a later time;   I have to get ready to go walk my 4 miles!
