Dryad Scarf

In typical fashion, I've been working on several projects at once. Still trying to get some wallets done for my etsy shop. I also have a couple of big knitting projects going. One is the beautiful Dryad scarf by Jared Flood, and the yarn I got for it is so amazingly soft! The pattern is all cables though so it's going to take me awhile to finish (I will probably get it done when it's too warm outside to need it). It's already getting close to that here it seems, it feels a lot like springtime!


I've also been working on my second sweater. I would post a pic of it, but it's on circular needles so it just looks like a jumble of fabric. But the way it's worked is so much different than the first sweater I did, it's pretty neat. I can see how this way would be easy (well easier anyways) to make my own pattern.

I made these coffee cup sleeves quite awhile back, I just haven't gotten around to photographing them until now. There's a coffee shop down at the water front park and for some reason they never seem to have cup sleeves, so I decided to make some for us.



I am hoping to write up the pattern for them...eventually.

Husband Beanie

Well I've gotten my second (for the public) pattern up on ravelry. I've decided to call it Husband Beanie, since it's more universal sounding. Plus when I was looking for a pattern for Josh's hat I totally would have looked at a pattern with that name. Josh picked out the yarn, go figure it's grey. It's Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash Wool.

The sun was in his eyes, and apparently made him a little
cranky. I got one picture where he looks super p.o.'d
and he's looking directly at the camera, but I've been
forbidden to post it. (It's hilarious though!)
It was a gorgeous day here yesterday (and it is again today, yay!). We went for a little drive to this scenic outlook, and then went up to Nooksack Falls on Mt. Baker. You can see Mt. Baker in the photo, it's the snowiest peak on the far left.

Kind of hard to believe it's December.
I love the weather up here!

Nooksack Falls
Been trying to come up with a new idea for a pattern, but I think that well is dry for the time being. Guess I'll have to finish some of the projects in my bin...

Whew


Been juggling projects these last few weeks, but I've gotten quite a bit done. I finished my Hermione Hearts Ron hat. Turned out really cute I think. I really liked the yarn I used (even though I may be slightly allergic to Alpaca).
Used Cascade Yarns Alpaca Lana D'Oro
Really like the way this hat finished off!

I also got Josh's new beanie done, which I'm working on writing up the pattern for. Thought this one turned out pretty well too. Hopefully he'll wear this one! Should hopefully be getting this pattern up on Ravelry here in the next week or so, after some careful double checking of the pattern...
This one is Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash
In between hats I started a scarf just as an easy project while watching tv at night. This will also be for Josh. Got the pattern from Ravelry, it's called a waffle scarf.
Patons Classic Wool
Wow my last few projects are lacking color! Will have to something bright for my next project. Also I found out that my Alaina Beanie pattern had a few errors, so I got those changed. Guess that's about all, I have a bit of a headache so I'm not feeling to chatty today.
