Long awaited update.

Well hello again. It seems as though I have almost forgotten all about updating this blog. Truth be told I had. Since last writing here I have gotten several projects done, including a second pair of Hermione’s Everyday Socks. Also finished is a little shawlette called Lost. My Steve’s Shirt socks that were my very first 2-at-a-time socks. I have knit several dishcloths in preparation for Christmas, with plans of making a lot more. Also planning on making Mitered Hanging Towels to match the dishcloths. In progress I have some Christmas knitting that I will not be able to show just yet because of wanting things to be a surprise.

I just took a peek back and saw that I have missed some. In order of finish dates are, the Soft and Wonderful baby afghan, a baby hat for my new nephew, Beachcomber socks, a baby granny square afghan, and a pair of Monkey socks. I guess I have been keeping pretty busy.

I guess the best place to start would be at the top and to work our way down.  First off are the Hermione's Everyday Sock by Erica Lauder.



The next project on the list would be the LOST shawlette.



Following is a picture of my very first 2-at-a-time socks that I named Steve's Shirt.

My stack thus far for christmas dishcloths.

A baby hat for our newest little man. 



My Beachcomber socks.



This baby granny square afghan was actually made by two people.  My Aunt made the squares and had me put them together and make a border for them. It turned out great.



And last but not least are the Monkey Socks by Cookie A. I can say this was my first charted project and I enjoyed it greatly.
