With the weather finally turning deliciously autumnal the knitwear can really be shown off:
Grant is modeling a lovely Basketweave Scarf that I knit when I was just starting out. Go me! It turned out rather long, but with his height he can carry it off. It's been so well received I'm glad I fished it out of the FO* pile. He wore it on Thursday eve with a brown corduroy jacket, striped shirt, jeans & Chucks. It was a lovely ensemble for an art reception. We thought we'd go since it was at my office and in support of my friend Lisa. It was actually a joint venture with the launch of the new Board so the place was loud and crowded. We were overwhelmed and didn't stay long, but glad we tried it. We hadn't been to a social event in quite some time.
I've been finishing a number of little things lately. This poor project was on the needles since January:
Finally my tea pot is dressed. It's so cute I can hardly stand it.
I knit two pairs of Toast in rapid succession:
Basically a tube, but what a fantastic use for a single luxurious skein. The green is Blue Sky Alpacas Suri Merino and the ginger is Manos Silky Blend.
My new love is the Gasteropoda Mitts:
I've got one about half way done, just trying to work out the thumb. The colors are a bit mad--especially since I insist on using the Polarize filter--but I'm sticking with it. It's kind of addictive knitting with Noro. I'm compelled to keep going and see what happens with the color changes.
I have a mountain of knitted items. I should take a picture some day. Or not. That sounds a bit scary. Not complaining though as the knitting keeps me sane.
*FO=finished object, of course. What were you thinking?
