it was exactly 5 weeks ago that i first stepped in kaleidoscope yarns with my mother on a whim. before then, i'd done some knitting on-and-off, but it had been a while. in fact, the last time i'd held my needles was in january of 2009, when i began knitting cleveland a sweater...that remained unfinished. until now. since that day, i've been quite prolific. i made fingerless mitts, 4 hats, finished the sweater, and a number of other items, which i dare not mention since many are intended as holiday gifts:)
a few picks of my rediscovered hobby...
these are the mitts i sent to my mom. she picked out the yarn. also, i made up this pattern:
this is a hat for phil (also a made-up pattern). i did one for cleveland that looks similar only the colors are reversed and i knitted his name into it.
here's cleveland's sweater finally blocked. it's now put together, and i think he likes it. thank god when i started it in 1/09 it was clearly sized large.
more pics to come, i'm sure.
that being said, dear blog, i do miss you. so i promise that i will be back, and with more frequency.
