Off and On
So, I KNOW that you are all dying to know what is the latest project off the needles and the latest project that is ON the needles. Or, are you too busy trying to decide just what to feed the hungry hordes on New Year’s Day? (Click that link and Lessa will tell you all about what to do and what NOT to do . . . because we all know, Lessa knows best - except for her Mama, of course.) hahaha
Okay - for the curious among us, here is the latest from the needles - both off and on:
Okay - the color is TERRIBLE, but I wanted you to see the whole thing. The piece in the background, of course, is another “stocking” cap - yup, just like the one I made Lessa for Christmas. Lessa’s friend loved hers and I offered to make her one in her favorite color. She said yellow - and I happened to have a skein of yellow on hand, so, “J”, here ya go. As soon as you get me your address - or Lessa - then it will be on its merry way to you.
The pattern, by the way, is available online from knitty.com
It is actually more of a baby yellow in color - I’ll show you in a closeup picture of the other object there.
While this picture is blurry, it does at least show the color off a bit better.
Oh, and the object still on needles? It’s a baby sock - made out of leftover sock yarn - a pair being made for a certain friend of mine who is going to be a first time Grandpa this summer.
That link will take you to my home page entry about his wedding in 2006. He and his bride and their children all came to the US from the UK in order to be married by Elvis in Vegas. And, yes, this ‘laskan went to the wedding - where, I of course melted, as temperatures were in the 120 degree range. I was thus a “baked ‘laskan”, yes indeedy.
Now as my friends come up on their second anniversary, his daughter is going to present them with a first grandchild. He’s not so sure he is ready to be a grandpa, but we will talk him through it and he will love the little tyke immensely, I’m sure.
I’ll post a pic of the finished pair - perhaps tomorrow.
