Sneak Peak of the Pinwheel Sweater

Ronda wants a surprise, but she showed me my pants so I have to post something! Here is the pinwheel sweater, knit from Blackberry Ridge wool, all ready to go!

Knitting Around the Bon-Fire : Rule 1

No matter how long you have been knitting, it is impossible to count to 25 in the dark.
Especially if you are drinking hoppy ale.
This is especially true if you only have to do said count one time and it will effect the entire outcome of the object.

Addendum to Rule 1:

Waiting to work on the object until SnB at the bar is not a wise choice. You will not notice that the count is off until the next day when you realize you are now ready for another drink because you have to frog the "quick-knit" hat.

You may or may not notice that one side is significantly wider than the other. The sooner I rip it all back, the sooner Abe has his new hat.

EZ Bonnet for Violet

A quick birthday gift for a friend who just turned one. Pattern can be found in Opinionated Knitter. Quick and fun knit. Both of my boys modeled it, but neither seemed to catch the simplistic beauty of the hat. The back has a really nice swirl and the shaping lines on the side are cute. I crocheted a border around the entire hat as I added the ties and it really made it look finished and clean.
