So, I've been up to a lot of knitting recently and have several projects on the needles right now. Just the other day, I finished a super-cute blessing bonnet for a super-cute baby. It came out just the way I had imagined it and it seemed to fit properly! I am excited because, well, that actually doesn't happen all too often when I try to mess with a pattern, hehe.Now I'm working on two wool vests: one is this thing I've ripped apart several times (the yarn itself came from a half-finished FAIL of a sweater). I finally figured out how to finish it and make it look nice. Of course, had I actually followed the original pattern things would have gone smoothly, but I had to modify it somehow. Check out what I've got so far:
Newly-on-the-needles is a second wool/alpaca vest. This time, I did a tubular cast-on that looks really awesome. It was a little fiddly to do it for the first time, but it gives the garment a neat, finished look and is super-stretchy. I'm planning on making all the edgings on the vest the same way.
Next up on the knitting to-do list? I've got to get started really soon on knitting Christmas/holiday gifts! Plus Mr. S' birthday is coming up in 2.5 weeks! Yikes!!!
