Striped Vest

Today, I made this vest using yarn I found in my stash (I'm trying to use some of if up before going and buying more). It was done on a Bulky machine.



Elsebeth Lavold "Angora" Yarn (60% angora/20% wool/20% nylon)

I hade to stripe it because I didn't have enough of any one color. Also, these are my favorite colors.


I think I have decided that my hand knitting will have to be reserved for traveling because its a great thing to do whenever I'm waiting around, and it makes me really calm.

Two Hats I made that will start off this blog

I'm planning to knit a lot this summer, so I thought what better than to write it all down somewhere where so I can keep track of my progress.

Here are two hats I've made. They are both the same pattern, which includes a small fake tab on the rib section that is really just decoration. The dark green one was my first time making anything knitting in the round. The second hat I started and finished entirely while flying yesterday from Boston to San Francisco!


100% Shetland Wool (sorry about the scary face, but its the only picture I have)
