Bored? Get a new project going!



How to survive many hours waiting and travelling. Why, start a new project, of course! The latest WIP is the lovely textured blankie-to-be from Family Circle Baby Knits book, page 90, called "Tickled Pink." so sweet! I'm using Baby Ull (left over from the Elizabeth Zimmerman Baby Surplice Sweater. I will need to buy oodles moe of the Baby Ull, but such a great project to carry around. Only 64 rows...starting with 4 stitch cast on and ending with four stitch bind off. It's fun to knit and has that lovely textured leaf on it!

Here's the almost-finished (except for those pesky ends) Baby Surplice Sweater - see how nice they'll go together?








But, wait! Here's another almost WIP (work in progress) - to be started, hopefully, this week or next! It's the amazing Elmer Fudd Hat, also known as Winter Cap from Fiber Trends, pattern #AC16.


I live in such a warm spot, that none of the local yarn shops carried this pattern. Voila! A quick trip to NYC solved that problem. While I was at it, I bought a couple of other "cold weather" patterns at Knitty City on the Upper West Side.

This will be so great to wear as I'm standing at the train platform!
