knitting update

the knitting is going on full force here.
one item is ready to be blocked (i always procrastinate here). i probably won't get around to that until the weekend.
i hope to finishing one stocking and start the next one over the weekend.
and somewhere between all that i have plans to start this little number. i have to admit i am a sucker for berroco. patterns and yarn.
i don't know about you but i have the most difficult time picking out the yarn for a pattern. the pattern is the easy part. the yarn and color, i agonize over sometimes. and in this case it was no different. i am not much of a hat wearer. the climate here doesn't call for it too often. last year the boys got their hats, so this year is the year for the girls. i finally decided on berroco's new vintage wool in sloe berry for my little hat. this yarn is a steal. i bet there will even be enough left over for the bea.
up next
what is on your knit list this fall?

  1. Your hats are great. I love making hats. I could always make a list of what I want to get done knit wise, but as soon as I put it to a list I never get it done. I am working on Christmas gifts and little knits for the baby inbetween and letting one thing inspire the next.
    I love reading about knitting, thanks!

  2. Love the color! Can't wait to see what you do! I am going to make those darn fingerless gloves if it kills me... : ))
