Bet you thought I wasn't knitting...

In no particular order, this is some of the stuff I knit when I was avoiding my homework and the sight of my house filling up with dirt and crap dragged in by my children.

First, the blankie that I originally knit for SIL...

Details: Curlicue Coverlet by Oat Couture
Yarn: Berroco Comfort in Oatmeal (boring color...boring SIL)
No mods, love the blanket. Perfect for cozying up on the couch

Managed some socks....

Pattern: Vinnland by Becca Compton
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Supersock
Note: these are modeled on my THIN teenager's feet. The socks are far too narrow for me.

Hats...quick and dirty. Just the thing to do right before a paper is due.

Pattern: Star Crossed Slouchy Beret by Natalie Larson
Yarn: Patons Classic Wool


Pattern: Sweet Baby Cap by Gro
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill leftovers

My kids are fighting over this one

Pattern: Fake Isle by Amy King
Yarn: Noro Kureyon and Patons Classic Wool


Pattern: Capitan by Rosi Garmendia and Ann Budd's basic mitten pattern
Yarn: Malabrigo Chunky

FINALLY. A cardigan that Genius will love and wear. This is the THIRD try at getting the right pattern for this yarn.

Pattern: Amelia by Laura Chau (on knitty.com Winter 2008)
Yarn: Cascade 220
Note: I did finally put buttons on it. We are all ecstatic that she loves it.

More knits, Mother's Day story (hilarious and touching), graduation pics and stuff coming after I finish scraping and shoveling out the house (three van loads to Goodwill and two trashbins full and we're still not done!), painting my bedroom, assembling all the stuff I bought at our weekend trip to IKEA, refinishing my oak desk, and tutoring my long shot of a student.
