Chugging along

I finished a hat for my brother in law and a scarf for my sister in law in Berkshire Bulky. They are huge Kent State University fans and I think I captured the colors pretty well. The wind really whips through that campus so I think they might acually use these for the basketball games this year.

No Christmas knitting season is complete without Fiber Trends Clogs. I didn’t think I was going to make any this year, but when you’re having a hard time thinking of the right thing…well clogs are always the answer! I got to make the smallest size for the first time every and boy did it go FAST! I spent 7 hours working on them Sunday during which time I also made and ate dinner. If you know someone with small feet this is an especially great gift! I’ve just about got one clog of the second pair complete (men’s size) so it’s taking just a bit longer.

Finally, I REALLY need to knit myself a hat because I just booked a trip to New Jersey to see Erica before Christmas! I’ve wanted one forever and I thinking a cabley, beret-ish/tam-ish sort of hat is just the thing I need to look stylish and keep warm as we play around NYC. Yes, there are likely to be yarn stores involved but I probably won’t do much purchasing (AHEM). If you know of a great NYC store we should visit, let me know! So far School Products and Habu Textiles and on the short list. If you know of a cute hat pattern let me know about that too…off to Ravelry so search for one now.
