Children's Placket neck sweater

This was for the brother and sister in law's new little boy. It is made out of Colinette Cadenza. I don't remember the colorway but it was a blue with a rainbow varigation.

Swinging Socks for swinging lovers

I am finishing socks right, left and centre right now. I think this is what's called a "roll" and I am definitely on it.

Here are socks for Daddy in Schaefer Anne in a plain top-down sock. He calls them his "spider-man" socks, I'm not quite sure why but it makes him happy.

Mine are from Interweave's Favorite Socks book, the very first pattern called "Retro Rib". They are knit in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in "Lakeview" colourway. I like them alot as they are ribbed and stay up better than any sock I've knit so far for myself.

Happy Mother's Day!

Here's my mom in the stylin' cardigan that I made her for Mother's Day. The pattern is from Knitting pure & simple and the yarn is the gorgeous Oban from Curious Creek. I also love the name of this colour "Birches in Norway". Think it turned out pretty well.

So much knitting, so little time

Mark with bold the things you have knit, with italics the ones you plan to do sometime, and leave the rest.

Wow, I'm impressed with how many of these I've actually done! How about you? Put it on your blog and link to me!

My Purple People Eater

Here's Stink Butt in her brand spankin' new poncho made by yours truly. I picked two really stripy skeins of Sheep One for the body of this to satisfy her need for pink. I'm happy with the result and the purple was a good compromise (I wanted green and she wanted Bubble Gum pink) thanks nice lady from Make 1!

Chevron Scarf bandwagon

Here is my first combination for a chevron scarf, Truffle and Vancouver Island Colours from Ocean Winds. This hand-dyed sock yarn rocks my world. I was thinking about a Green instead of the blue but when I saw these two colours swatched together it reminded me of this volcanic beach I saw in Hawaii with the really dark multicoloured sand and the water contrasting next to it. That's it, that's as poetic as I get, I'm out. Seriously, I do love the natural look of this combo.

The Trouble with Socks

I think a lot of hardcore knitters have this problem but I think for me it's starting to get out of hand. I have one of all of these socks but no mates. You know what the sick part of this is? I know that I should start making the mates but instead I've already decided to use some Tofutsies to make some Jaywalkers. Oh well, I think I just have to let it go and realize I'll get around to making the mates some day. Until then, bring on the Socks that Rock Yarn and I'll find some new patterns to try!
