So far in 2014 I've knit a few small projects. First is a honey cowl made with an absolutely gorgeous skein of yarn Ben put in my Christmas stocking. (For those wondering it's called Fiddle Knits "Beats" the color is Forest Dweller. I'd never heard of them but isn't it lovely?) I agonized over the perfect project to knit with that wonderful yarn and I know I picked the right one. I LOVE my cowl. The color is perfect and it's super comfy and goes with everything.
I posted the picture on Facebook and a friend really liked it. So I knit her one too. We met at our LYS (local yarn shop) on a Saturday morning and she bought the yarn and I brought it home with me. Not a bad deal if you ask me. ;] (This is Berroco Vintage. An acrylic/wool blend that I like working with quite well!)
Lastly, another knit born out of my posting a picture on Facebook. ;] I had posted a hat I knit for a Christmas order, and I got a request for a similar one. This is Poppy. Also knit with Berroco Vintage.
Currently on my needles is a (late!) first birthday sweater for my sweet boy. It's Abate by Alicia Plummer and I'm hoping to finish it by this weekend. I'm using Cascade 220 for this and decided to choose a nice dark color that he couldn't stain. ;]
In other news, I'm really itching to move into our permanent bedroom and have started to do a bit of work here and there to get us in there. I'm trying to decide if it's more of a priority to just get in there, or to do more cosmetic work to it before we bring in all our things.
