a foggy place . . .

I've been knitting ...

So I've been neglecting my little blog; I want to begin posting more regularly.
Maybe once a week, if I'm lucky. I finished Aftur on 5 January for my sister's birthday. She really loves it. I made an album for Aftur - it's on the side bar. Since then, I've been plugging away on Flétta 2.0. I'm nearly finished the body, which only leaves the sleeves and collar to do. My coworker commissioned a hat last week - the Tweedy Beret (sans i-cord) from the A Cardigan For Arwen issue of Interweave Knits. I am using black Jaeger Extra Fine Merino Aran. It's going well since I gave up on the dpns and just started over with a pair of circs (magic loop, I love ya).
Bye for now!

Finally, my 3 month-long extremely complicated zipper installation is over.  [Lappi didn't sit on my to-do pile for 2 months and 29 days]  I also made him a hat (the Húfa patt from Lopi 25) using  leftover yarn from Lappi.  I am making him mittens to match the hat; I'm using the Kríli patt from the same book as a guide.

Baby Knits

Here is my son's newest sweater. (He has already grown out of his other two!).
I changed the centre panel, but otherwise it is a Sirdar Baby pattern in Rowan
CashSoft 4 ply for babies.

His hat is made from alafoss lopi and it is an alafoss lopi pattern.
I really like Istex's (the company that makes alafoss lopi) new pattern books.
I am going to make my next baby sweater from one of their patterns, as well
as sweaters for my in-laws.
