I spent a very Happy Mother's Day having breakfast with my family but the best part was a gift that arrived in the mail on Thursday....Thank you, Ronnie! You made my day!

I'm on a roll!!!

I knit the Spring Beret for my SO out of Cottonease, color Snow, on size 8 and 9 US needles. What do you think??? I'm actually tempted to knit it again in another color for myself. Maybe in some Rowan Cotton I have in the stash.

April's sock of the month is the Fawkes sock based on the Harry Potter series. I'm using US 2 KP needles and Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn in the color Flames.

I'm still working on charity baby items for our project this year. Here is the cutest baby hat; it looks like an apple!!! Great stashbusting project!

I also have the beginnings of a Big Bad Baby Blanket. And a baby kimono...

Finished v.2

Here are more stashbusting projects recently completed!!!

Finished!

I've finished quite a few things in the last week or so....



This is a baby blanket for my knitting group's charity project...I used stashed Red Heart white yarn.

The Saroyan Scarf was a KAL for the month of February...I used Berroco Ultra Alpaca (a wool/alpaca blend) that I bought a few years ago in Pittsburgh.

I finished the March KAL....the French Market bag. I used Lion Brand Wool in colors Lemongrass and Winter White and felted it.

These were all stashbusting projects, which I am happy about! I'm trying to use as much stash as possible in the next year and see how much I can cut down. Now to tackle the sock yarn!

Charity Knitting!

My local group has been making baby/premie hats for one of our local hospitals. I'm also working on a baby blanket and other baby items. These are GREAT stash busting projects!
