Let's hear it for knitting in the car!

And while waiting for a table and when no one came into the library for an hour...

2 burp cloths in Peaches & Creme Sea Mist: 56.7g each.
1 baby hat in the Catalina Chunky Alpaca Merino: 52.45g.
1 baby hat in Misti Alpaca: 28.35g.
1 toddler hat in Catalina Chunky Alpaca Merino (knit double): 100g. I had *just* enough yarn.

Total g used: 294.2.

The burp cloths are M&D. I used the hat patterns here and here. I'm thinking pics might have to wait until after the move.

And if anybody feels like helping us pack.... :)

No finished knitting!

No points for me this week. Didn't finish anything, although I did add another skein of yarn to the men's scarf I'm knitting! It's a really light yarn, though, and at best a sportweight size, which adds up to lots of knitting for not many points.

Have to use my destash count

I donated a full XXL size Zip-lock bag (I HEART THESE STORAGE BAGS!) (about seven pounds of yarn) - beautiful yarn - Mt. Colors Bearfoot - Araucania Nature Wool - D'Zined wool/mohair/hemp worsted and sports weight - Frog Tree alpaca - and others that I have blocked from memory. For two good causes: 1) "Live simply so that others may simply live." and 2) the prisoner support group. That's about 3175 grams, which seems outlandish to count, but there you have it.

I did do some knitting, too. I finished another 2-headed hat (what I call the reversible stocking cap). I also have not credited myself with the Irish hiking scarf and baby blanket. I'll bring them all in this week, weigh and picture them for next week's race. (That's okay, isn't it? I don't think I'm breaking any rules or offending anyone. If so, tell me and I won't count them. Not a problem!)

Due to the lack of knitting....

I didn't score any points for the Nascar KAL. Sad, really. I think I knit a whole 3 rounds on my Dreambaby Sock #1 for the whole week.

Not much for this week....

This week I didn't get much knitted. I did manage to finish a pair of ankle socks:



Total of 40 grams used up in this pair of socks. I know last week I included them in my total, so I don't know if I get the full 40 gram points or just the 10 grams I knit this week. Either way, I didn't knit much!

Hopefully this week I will have knit a little more.

PS: I'm so lame... I missed the end of the race!! I ended up being dragged out to the grocery store :o(

pathetic, I tell you!

Not a whole lot of productive knitting this week, I'm afraid. I started on a pair of socks for my almost-one-year-old daughter, a pair of toe-up Baby Jaywalker socks. These are my first toe-up socks and my first with a stitch pattern instead of plain stockinette. So I had to frog a couple times, and I ended up finishing a grand total of one baby sock. A whole week for a teeny tiny sock! It's pretty cute, though:

I hope everybody has a great week - and enjoy the holiday!

A relatively quiet week

Only one hat this week--a pretty green stockinette cap in Catalina Chunky (60% baby alpaca/40% merino). This was the green that I used in the ribbed hat a couple of weeks ago. Total g used for this hat: 85.04.

A burp cloth (using one of the M/D patterns) in Peaches & Creme baby green. 70.87g. There will be more baby-related knitting in the months to come. And it's not for me. Not yet, anyway ;)

A snuggle for the Snuggles Project in Caron Perfect Match, knit double to make it cushier (is cushier a word? or should it be more cushy?). It's 16" x 16" approximately, and weighs 177.18g. I was blown away at how quickly this knitted up. I've got another skein of this floating around. Now I know what to do with it. And there's an organization in town that accepts them, so once I finish some more (and wash 'em) I can take them there.

Total g used this week: 333.09. Pics will be up later.
