With the cold weather the knitting season has started. I’ve knit three hats in last few weeks. One is part of Chris’ Halloween costume so I will not post it just yet (though if you are a knitter, you can see it on Ravelry) and the second one is a birthday gift for an up-and-coming neurosurgeon I just mailed this morning so I will also not post it yet (blah blah blah Ravelry). The third hat is for Trev to go with his new red snow suit.
It is a little bit big so I don’t know how much use he will get out of it this season, but I am a “Process Knitter” so I don’t really mind.
I also made a lace scarf. This is not technically the first knitted lace project I did, but it is the first intentional one. It is certainly the first project I’ve blocked as lace.
Since this was the first instance of blocking lace in the household, there were “courier du bois” jokes flying all around. The last laugh was on me because the scarf blocked beautifully.
The lace is beautiful Boj. I am going to have to learn how to block things soon. Lesson perhaps?!! 😉
That is a very good-looking scarf! : )
Very excited to see how Chris’ hat project turns out too!
(Any news on the The Third Boy yet? : ) )
I got the hat 😉
Haven’t opened the package yet, actually mum had to pick it up since it was delivered when noone was home, and just by some crazy coincidence my passport was in zagreb, otherwise they wouldn’t have given it to her at all, and my hat would be back across the ocean… I’ll wait till, my birthday to open it 😀
