As we all know, it was just the holiday season! I hope everyone had a lovely one - I know I did! I got a ton of knitting done, even if I didn't finish anything. I got two very exciting gifts - cross country skis from my parents and a yarn swift from my granmom! Thanks family! You rock!
I'm still working on the intense fair isle grey and purple fingerless mittens - also known as the Abigail hand warmers. The first one is about 75% done, which is exciting, but also daunting - there's a whole 'nother one to go when I finish! (This is why I'm afraid of socks, actually).
I told myself I couldn't use my new yarn swift until I got my room organized. I failed. I used the swift - and my Christmas present to me, a ball winder - just a few days ago. I have yarn wound for four projects. Three will be very quick. The fourth will take longer, and I think I need to finish the first fair isle project before I start a second!
These are three skeins of Cascade Eco-Cloud. When I do a proper post on the projects, I'll note the colorways. The project: knit bandana cowls for my housemates from college. We're getting together for a mini reunion of sorts in early April, and I've got a ways to go. Four of my five housemates will be there, plus each of them has a significant other. I'm set on one of the s.o.'s project (it was meant to be a housewarming gift, but they moved in July, so it can be an "almost one year in your apartment" gift instead) but I have several others to choose - and frantically knit. I maybe set myself up for failure on this one. We'll see, I suppose.
These are two skeins of Cascade 220. The project: Birdcage mittens from 60 Quick Knits, which is published by Cascade. This is the book that started me knitting, even if I think I've only knit 4 of the 60 possible projects. My first non-scarf project was a pair of mittens knitted flat from this book.
Anyway, happy new year! What are your projects for the new year?
