Who Wouldn't Love a Handknit Gift? (Nov/Dec 2005)
I got a gold star for finishing 5/5 Christmas gifts:
- Norwegian Roses Cardigan for mom
- Toasty Toes socks for my uncle
- Heart hat for Simone
- Striped hat for my brother
- Silk Garden hat for theflitgirl
Since I've knit almost exclusively for myself since Christmas, I think I more than held up my end of the Not a Gift bargain. It's been all about lovely sweaters for myself:
- Am Kamin
- Winter Folly
- Rogue Cardi (not yet finished)
Crossed in Translation (Feb 2006)
My Olympic gold-medal winning sweater was Am Kamin for the Crossed in Translation knitalong. Many thanks to Cara at January One for introducing this sweater to the knitting world. I love it more than words can say. Final comments are here, but don't be suprised if it shows up in every photo of me you ever see. It's that amazing.
Stashalong (Jan-March 2006)
The whole point was to a) knit from stash and b) not buy yarn. I did a great job with the first, and an-almost great job with the second. The deal was up the 31st of March, but I found myself in Germany buying sockyarn on March 29th. Tell me the truth, wouldn't you have?
