So many knits they actually need a separate entry

In other news, I finished some gloves for my aunt Connie for her birthday (I didn't have time to block them...):

Super gorgeous yarn, really fun knit. Connie was sooo happy for them :D

So much more:

I gave Sean her scarf last weekend, before the ITG tournament (which I'll have to write about):

Sean of course died over how gorgeous the yarn was. This photo is unedited and I still don't think it does the colors justice.

Oh and I don't think I posted pics of the baby sweater I knit Clyde???

It's missing buttons in this pic but if it fits him I'll take more pics. This is the Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmerman, and it's designed to be worn over a onesie and is wider in the body to support a diaper. The pattern strongly encourages experimentation so I just threw in stripes wherever they felt right in the moment.

I'm in love with these fingerless mitts called the Campfire Mitts:


The pattern is a cheeky mix of stockinette and garter.



Project thoughts:

1. I'm working on a cowl in red so I can always have something red to wear on Thursdays to support the union! The yarn is a beautiful mix of red and black.


2. I think I want to knit or crochet my sister an afghan for her wedding. In classic Bethany fashion, when she saw the gloves I knit for Connie she said, "You'd never do that for me!!!" Like hell I wouldn't, betch!


3. For like 3 years I've wanted to knit a Pi scarf, one for me and one for my colleague Jenny. I have a pattern.


4. Like a crazy person I signed up for a "Never Have I Ever" sock knit-along, partly for the excitement but also a large part for accountability. I have my second-ever pair of socks started on the needle (toe up this time) and they've been sitting with the tip of the toe on there for MONTHS. I loved knitting my first pair of socks and just need a kick in the ass to get started.


5. Last night I saw my grandma wearing the gloves I knit for her a few years ago and they're looking rough. I gotta make her some new ones.


6. I made a hat for Ben THREE TIMES OVER and hated it and ripped it out all three times. I have a very specific idea in mind. Changed to a scarf. Lol.

Great knitting you've done. I've pretty much laid my projects aside in favor of sketching but did add a few rows to a sock yesterday, your post is inspiring.

wooooow those gloves for Connie are AMAZING! I love the pattern! I have been thinking that I really want to learn to crochet. it's something I could do to feel better about how I spend my time on my after-work evenings, and I could make things I would love.

Thank you! I still feel like I could have done better but the yarn and the pattern are both just so gorgeous. :D
