Knitting Update: Part One

Moving very sssllllooowwwly this morning so until the coffee kicks in, I decided to give y'all a quick update of knitting projects! This will be part one because there were lots of things in there!!! It's like the black hole of knitting!

Pattern: Shetland Triangle by Evelyn Clark (rav link)
Yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece (3 skeins)
Needles: Size 6

This was for a friend who rearrange her entire day to take me into Boston for a test! My favorite pattern of all time and it was a joy to knit. A bit disappointed int he photos though because I could not capture just how pretty this was in person. She looked great in it too!

Pattern: Nubbins Dishcloths (rav link) by Vyvyan Neel
Yarn: Lily Brand Sugar and Cream - Assorted Colors
Needles: Size 6

These went home with my mother the other day! You can never have too many of these babies!

Pattern: Lavalette Shawl (rav link) by Kirsten Kapur
Yarn: Cider Moon Blizzard in "Istanbul"
Needles: Size 6

I loved everything about this knit. Yarn was AWESOME and had been in my stash for AGES. Was a tad leery about the color at first, but it matched the top I wanted to wear it with PERFECTLY!!!!

Pattern: Blanket Buddy (rav link) from 101 Designer One Skein Wonders

Yarn: Lily Sugar and Cream in Robin's Egg Blue and Cream
Needles: Size 10 and 7 *

This was for my friend's little grandson who had the SWINE FLU at a month old. Poor little guy. He is doing much better now!
I am also unsatisfied with the top of his head. I cannot seem to get the written directions done as they should (even after many tries) so I just bound off purl wise. I will be making more so I'm sure i can figure something out!
* I think I would drop the needle size down on the head to a 5 or 6. He looks like he has a bit of hydrocephalus going on there. But he is still soft and snuggly!

Ok, more on the next post!!!
