Knit me some fabric of your thoughts.*

I'll try to take picture of my projects and yarn acquisitions and post them later.  What's on your needles this week?

The t-shirt cracked me up.

We had a really goog time, but I think I have to plan for a full day there next year, because there's so much going on.

I am not a knitter or anything but it does look interesting.

That looks like a LOT of fun (except the standing in line part - how nice of the other woman in line to take care of your yarn).

I think I'm becoming addicted to socks.  Here's the latest pair, started a week ago Thursday and finished Wednesday night.

I finished grandson's sweater since the last Knitapoolza.

Plus, I've been working on hats & scarves for charity.

On these two I was playing with slip stitch patterns & then purling the contrasting color to make it a bit more prominent.  

One way or the other, this darkness has to give....

Your socks are cute...what yarn is that?  

The grandson's sweater is gorgeous!  And you did that so it would be seamless, didn't you?

and your charity knitting is pretty too.  My only experience with slip stitch patterns is the eye of the partridge heel I put on my latest pair of socks for CBtE (pictures coming soon).  What charity are the going to?

It's On-Line sock yarn, Nepal color #785.  It's normally $16 a skein (enough for both socks), but the LYS had it at 75% off so I bought this skein and one of #781.  The red sweater is seamless - knit in the round up to the armholes, then back & forth for the yokes.  The shoulder seams are 3-needle bind-off and I picked up the sleeves from the armhole and worked down to the cuff.  Just a few yarn ends to run in when it was finished. {g}  The hats are similar to the Eye of the Partridge pattern.  I slip the MC stitch and knit one in CC, repeating around.  The next row, I use MC and knit the slipped MC stitch & purl the CC stitch - or you can just knit around with MC.  The next pattern row, I offset the CC by one stitch.  Our knitting group provides hats and scarves to several local charities and to the local Head Start.  We sent 101 set to the local shelter for homeless veterans last Christmas and donated afghans to Hospice.

One way or the other, this darkness has to give....

Thanks!  The snowflake pattern is from Alice Starmore's Book of Fair Isle Knitting, the rest is based on Elizabeth Zimmerman's Percentage System.
