Here is a list of projects that are OTN or on my list of things to do...
Bronty for L
Market bag for K
Lotus Blossom Tank for me
Top down raglan for me
Christmas stockings for the family (One down, three to go.) The picture doesn't really do it justice. It's about 2 feet long!

Some more FOs
Baby Socks in Fortissima Socka














Ribs and Cables Socks from Interweave Knits Fall 2005. I had to modify the pattern so I could knit them toe up.















My first socks. I used the toe up method by Queen Kahuna.















Affectionately known as "The socks I hate". I really don't like the neapolitan colorway, and I knit them two at a time via magic loop. Add the two together and you get 6 months of trudging though to finish these awful socks. Too bad they are wicked comfy!















Hugs and Kisses baby socks from Interweave Knits Spring 2005.

Here are some finished projects I've completed within the last 12 months.

Shedir, a chemo cap, worked in Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino. It used 1 and 1/3 balls and was a dream to work with. Although I got stitch gauge (a miracle), I didn't (read couldn't) get row gauge. I had to leave out one pattern repeat before I started the decreases to account for the difference.




























This was too cute to not knit. It's worked in cheapo 100% acrylic.















Your basic ear flap hat. I worked it in Lion Brand Wool-ease.















Another one that was too cute not to knit. It was a quick but challenging knit. Beware there are NUMEROUS corrections to this pattern. They can be found here.















My boys love dinosaurs, so this was a must knit. Worked in kitchen cotton, just because it's wicked cheap.















The summer shawlette from Interweave Knits Summer 2006. It's perfect to take the edge off over air conditioned interiors.















This the the cover capelet from Wrap Style. It's my first stranded 2 color project. A fast and fun knit, but I didn't care for the collar. I just finished it in ribbing. I used Cascade 220 and Galway from Plymouth to complete this project. As you can see by the rolling, it's unblocked.
