Made in China

We spent a month in China this summer and I had quite a lot of travel
time to fill with knitting. I brought all my leftover bits of yarn and
made stripy hats. Based on the "hive hat" pattern on ravelry.com.

I really enjoyed coming up with fun color combinations because I have
a bizarre assortment of hand-me-down, thrifted, and yard sale yarn. I
really didn't enjoy weaving in all the loose ends.

Albatross Scarf

The Albatross Scarf is done.



This was a Mother's Day gift to my mother...last Mother's Day. It became a combined Mother's Day / birthday gift (her birthday is in January). At least I didn't promise it for Christmas. I didn't think it would be so difficult, but I was unable to follow a simple set of directions for odd rows and then simply knit on even rows. I have, however, learned a great deal about frogging and getting everything back on the needles.

I found the pattern on Purlbee.

I plan to felt this and if I like it, make a few more. The book I
found it in showed 24 for advent, but that seems a bit ambitious!
