December post

I missed posting this for the Holiday KAL. What can I say, I've been busy knitting things that I can't show you. I'm hoping to sell the patterns, so no pictures. I also have a full time job, which takes up a lot of knitting time.

A pair of socks for a December birthday. These are for a grandson who likes orange. Both yarns are from Knit Picks. The pattern is my own. Finished Dec. 3 and already gifted.

Finished Spitzbergen

I finished my Spitzbergen Shawl, although not in time for the contest. The pattern was written for lace weight yarn, but I was afraid that it would be too small so I used JaggerSpun Maine Line, which is fingering weight. It came out huge (measuring 74" by 34" but seems larger since it curves and fits like a hug), but I love it. I know it will get a lot of use!

ANOTHER Adrienne Fong design not named

This lovely pattern hasn't an official name yet. Maybe this post will give our esteemed designer a nudge? I think of it as my Dandie shawl because the green is like our peahen's neck and the blues are like her now 11 month old chicks born on Christmas Eve last year. She has 4 more now hatched on T-giving Day.
I plan to have this finished, blocked and ask my friend with a better camera to take a pic so I can post it this month. :)

An Adrienne Fong Sock

This is a sock I am hoping to finish for Christmas. It is an Adrienne Fong design. But, I know it will bug Adrienne not posting the name of the pattern or a picture of the pattern. Guess she will have to be happy with a heel flap.

Finished KAL Projects I have been to distracted to post...

I can't figure out how to line up the type with the projects. This is a Braided Scarf for my cousin in WoolEase Thick& Quick (colour Claret). I must have forgotten to take a WIP picture.

Next: Scrunchable Scarf for my Niece in King Cole Duet Moods DK (Held yarn double)

Next is another Scrunchable Scarf for me in Malabrigo Worsted (colour Sapphire Magenta)

Bulky Ribbed Scarf for SIL in WoolEase Thick & Quick Colour: Black and Claret

Apparently everyone wanted scarves this Christmas.

Merry Christmas all!

Final finished project

This is my lacy baby blanket, knit in cotton boucle. I knit it sideways, so the lace stripes would be vertical. I made up the pattern, it was very simple.

52 week challenge december-start

I don´t know if I will be able to get my two unfinished cardigans finished by this month. Therefore I post this new beginning of socks for my daughter´s birthday. They will be finished due to this birthday :-) by next week.
As always my picture is not too good. This is such a lovely play of colours in deep saturated shades of brick red and darker.
Maybe it is a project for next year to learn how to do better pictures.
May all of you have a nice time knitting!
