I made myself some promises this year, to knit things that suited me and to try to ensure that I examined things while I knit them to ensure that they're actually good for me.  And then I spent the last two months doing a fair amount of knitting, so this is going to be a long post.


Garments:

Bramblewood Vest












Noro V-Necked top, which I may have to make into a pattern

Cowls:

 Turquoise  Drip-Drop cowl

Dented Cowl below as a test knit for the designer.


matching dented hat, which was a riff on the original

Dishcloths

I joined a monthly dishcloth along and these are the January

and February cloths











 I also knit the Big Damn Washcloth


Socks

the Par 5 Socks for Mac

Thanks socks also for Mac


Other stuff





The Serenity Blanket got finished it now needs blocking.











 A friend left work and I made two bookmarks for her bellflower bookmark (left) and Piccola (right)







 So far this year I've knit over 4km of yarn! I feel pretty chuffed with myself. I'm almost finished my Vog On socks, I got a chunk of them done during PCon last weekend and I'm happy with them.  The Nevada City Windows cardigan is almost there too. After that I'm going to go back to the Garter Stitch Cardigan and fix those damned sleeves

Socks and tanktop

So I've been quite productive this few days


Thanks socks for Mac with some extra repeats of the straight patterning in order to make it long enough.

 

Bramblewood top with some extra infilling.

The socks produced a grin and the top is timely, as soon as it dries anyway!  The infilling was necessary because the armholes needed to be deepened, now they're right but then they were too small, I would never have been able to wear it.
