Yarn Crawl

Whipped up a hat in Navy colors for my 18 year old who is enlisting this week. 

Did I mention I LOVE Ultra Pima Cotton from Cascade Yarns? 

I am also setting things up so the kids can all knit up hats for either KnotsofLove or ChemoCaps.  I am also getting ready to participate in the first annual Rocky Mountain Yarn Crawl.  It seems like a lot of fun!

Some projects finished!

I finished the hats and the shawls I was working on for most of May and June!

Here are the links to the pics and the details of each project

I am now working on finishing up a promised pair of socks for my daughter, an afghan started WAY too long ago, a big lace shawl that will just take a while, convertible mitten/fingerless gloves started last spring, a vest that I have swatched but now need to get going for my husband, his afghan that I am designing, and about 5 other projects...just a typical knitter.

I am also slowly putting up all the projects I have completed the past year up on Ravelry.  Today I finally got the pics and details up for Ellen's socks that were started and completed last November.

Cascade UltraPima

My hats are cruising along and I cast on for another shawl.  I have to say I have fallen in love with Cascade UltraPima I got at Knit Knack.  It is so smooth and fun to knit with and easy to work with as well.

Tonight I cast on two more hats.  A couple of weeks ago I knitted up another hat pattern two at a time and it was fantastic! 

The hat pattern I cast on tonight was originally written to knit flat so the first modification was to the pattern for circular knitting.  I hope to get them done soon so they can be sent off in the same package as the other hats and two shawls I have knitted in the last few weeks!

I'll post pics and more details soon...
