The front shot and the requisite back of the stranded knitting shot:
And I wove in the 50 million ends from the ribbing so that I didn't have a heart attack when the whole sweater was finished. I decided that I would weave in the ends as I go so that it's less work at the very end. Anyways, I also worked on the sock some. I should have a heel by tonight:
And last night after my eyes went buggy from looking at the Donegal chart, I decided to make a hat out of the Insubordiknit hand-dyed roving that I spun up a while ago. It's the polyamorous colorway which knit up prettier than I thought it would:
I very loosely used the pattern for the Hot Stuff hat from Stitch 'N Bitch. I added a pom pom and knitted the hat in the round instead of having to seam it up at the end. I could have used a little more length on there if I were making it for myself. This will probably be a Christmas present for someone next year.Yesterday was the baby shower for my cousin's new baby. She really liked the crochet baby blanket that I made and she got a ton of stuff that she needed, especially since the baby decided to come out a little earlier than anyone planned on. Here's the proud mama and papa:
That's it for today. Tomorrow there may be a heel. I'll have to see how much I get done at lunch today.Knit on...
