I haven’t been as productive as usual this past week, but I did manage to finish the fingerless mitts I was working on…..Love how they turned out!!
I made a bit of progress on my Puffy Stitch Scarf as well….
I also started knitting a pair of socks for myself. I seem to be lacking red handmade socks, but not for long….I’m really liking the way this yarn is striping!!

So far this has been the month for red projects….
I finished my Lusty Honey Cowl using Wollmeise DK weight yarn. Love it!!
I also test knit a cabled headband using some of the leftover yarn from the cowl….
And in the non-red corner, I have started a pair of fingerless mitts. One of the mitts is finished and the other is well on it’s way….
Oh and I also picked up my crochet hook and a skein of purple yarn and started a Puff Stitch Scarf. Wow this is fun and easy!!

Well I finished my Leonard Shawl earlier this week. What a fun and easy pattern! I still need to block it, but here’s what it looks like off the needles before blocking.
I also cast on a Honey Cowl using my Wollmeise DK weight in a nice red called Koralle. I have had this pattern in my Ravelry queue for awhile now and I’m glad I finally got around to knitting it.
Next up after I finish the cowl will be a pair of fingerless mitts using this yarn…..

Well I have a few thing off the needles this week, but I can only show one of them to you right now. I have knit 2 super secret projects that are for a swap and you never know when a swap partner might be stalking your blog….
Here’s my Infinitesimal Orchids. I still need to block it, but OMG the Handmaiden Casbah Sock Yarn is soooo soft!!
And on the needles is this Leonard Shawl by Wendy Johnson for the Big Bang Theory Swap. That swap is secret so my partner doesn’t know she’s my partner LOL. The yarn is Socks that Rock Mediumweight in the Rabia colorway. Love the way it’s working up and can’t wait to finish and block it!

It’s been a Cowl-tastic week for me!
I finished my Denver Cowl in Miss Babs Yowza, colorway Biker Chick. This was a fun and easy pattern with lots of warmth and texture. I can’t wait to wear it!
I also started another cowl using Hand Maiden Casbah Sock yarn in the Orchid colorway. The pattern is To Infinity & Beyond and this project is for the First Quarter Challenge at The Loopy Ewe. The challenge is to use a single skein of any weight yarn and the pattern must include cables. The cashmere content of this yarn makes it very soft and squishy!!

I finished Spikarella and she is just adorable!!
I also cast on the Denver Cowl using Miss Babs Yowza Whatta Skein in the Biker Chick colorway. Can’t wait to finish this one and wear it!!

JudyL has started a new weekly “challenge” and invited everyone to share the socks they are wearing on Thursdays. The only rule is the photo has to depict socks being worn on feet…
So here are my socks du jour….
These are my Skyp the Tea Party Socks made from Fresh From the Cauldron SW Sock yarn in the Tea Party colorway. The pattern is “Simple Skyp Socks” and I modified them to knit them toe up (cuz that how I roll).
Today I am off work so it’s a jammie day. The weather guys keep saying it might snow so I am snuggle in my jammies wearing my bright fun wool socks!!

This week I finished a couple of things and started something new as well….
I finally finished the test knit yesterday and love how it turned out. The case was designed for crochet hooks, but I think mine will hold interchangeable circular knitting needle points instead…
I’m also still knitting away on monsters…
Cecelia the Huggable Monster is finished and ready to be loved…
And Spikarella the Joris Monster is almost finished. This pattern looks complex but is so easy. All worked in the round and no seaming at all. The yarn is Bugga! by Cephalopod Yarns and was generously donated by Sarah for the project.

The first OTN post of 2013 and it was quite a productive week for me…
I finished my Hoodwink scarf and it is soooo soft and squishy! I just love it!!
I also made my 1st monster for the 600 Monsters Strong project. The pattern is called Adorkable Monster and the multi colored yarn was designed and donated by Fresh From the Cauldron just for this project!! Her name is Dora the Adorkable….
I also started my 2nd monster with yarn donated by Propaganda Yarns. The pattern is called Cecil the Computer Monster, but I’m calling her Cecelia the Huggable…

I can’t believe it’s the final OTN post of 2012. I have had quite a productive year knitwise!!
As of right now I’ve knit nearly 9 miles of yarn this year….that is so hard to believe!!
I did manage to finish up Christmas gifts (one hat was finished late and will be given today).
The socks for my cousin were finished on Christmas morning….
My daughter’s hat was finished last weekend…
And I started and finished a hat for my daughter’s boyfriend…
A hat for my Mother in Law….
And I’ve started and nearly finished a Hoodwink Scarf for myself. This is knit with String Theory DK yarn held double on HUGE size 11 needles. I feel like I’m knitting with jumbo crayons. But wow is it ever knitting up fast! I cast on Wednesday night and am about 40 rows away from finishing the 2nd scarf side….Woohoo!

Sorry I missed checking in last Friday, early last week I slammed my pinky finger into my car truck and managed to break the finger which has laded me in a splint for 4-6 weeks. But I won’t let that get me down….I have Christmas knitting to finish and by golly I will get it all done!!
So first…..off the needles since my last report…
I finished the Stripey Scarf and I just love it!
I also finished the Sloucy Tuva Hat that I started a couple weeks ago…
The I started and finished a pair of Café au Lait fingerless Mitts for a gift. Love the yarn and the pattern. The yarn is Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Mediumweight in a Rare Gems colorway….
Then I started another sockhead hat for a gift. I’m more than halfway finished. I feel like I can knit these in my sleep now LOL
And I started my cousin’s socks. This is another pair of plain vanilla style socks using self striping Opal yarn. Love this yarn!!
After these projects are finished I have another pair of socks to knit and 3 more hats. Here’s looking at a lot of long nights knitting between now and the holidays!!
