Psst Sandy ... over here!

I keep reading about second sock syndrome. Is there such a thing as second mitt syndrome? I've been dragging my needles on this. However, since we're heading to colder weather for Turkey Day, he'll need his mittens ASAP.


The requests are coming in ... Pumpkin Girl wants green ones to match her new winter jacket and Hubby keeps saying "Where are my driving mitts?!?" I hope to make some Wrist Warmers for me if I can snag some Cash Iroha.

The matching cap was one of my earlier projects back in April/May.

Carnival Hat

Here is another instant gratification project I worked on while finishing off the Hourglass Sweater. My son indulged me with some pictures yesterday while I was finishing his hat. What a ham! It's a carnival hat befitting his personality.


I'm still debating whether he gets a tassle or a pompom on top.

Mesa Hat

09/09/05 update - This hat has been ripped and is awaiting to be re-knit at a smaller size.

Some vacation knitting while we were at VA beach. My son got sick with a low-grade fever and headache which kept us in our room. So while he was sleeping, I decided to start a new project. The ribbing (3 inches of 2 x 2) on fingering weight yarn was a pain. Something I do not wish to repeat. However, once the ribbing started showing I could not stop.



Picture below reminds me of Gilligan's Island.
