Head Start

Hardly a head start as it's already 2 weeks into the New Year. I've been knitting here and there but have yet to catch up on my photo taking and blogging.

So without further ado, let's start off 2008 with the Short-row Hat (free pattern, pdf) by Veronik Avery. The pattern is an absolute genius, so cleverly written and so fun to knit. Only mod is that I left out the i-cord tip. I made it with 1 ball of Rowan Tapestry, a lovely gift from Erin. I have another ball and it's going to be another hat.

My little CY loves the hat too but my mil is the recipient as she's very appreciate of the Odessa I made her last year that I'm happy to make her another.

And a belated Christmas present for elder nephew, the Toddle scarf knitted with the remaining yarn from JY's Brambling. I made it bigger than the pattern to fit almost-8-year-old nephew who's very happy to have it too.

What else am I knitting? This bigger Misty Garden. This photo completely fails to capture its beauty. I absolutely love this knit and have not been able to put it down until it is too bulky to take it with me on the bus. So I've started yet something else and more on that later.

And how do you like the bigger photos?
