September FO's

Hi all,

Still here, just busy as all getout. I did manage to make 3 skinny
scarves in September. One from Lion Brand Fun Fur, one in Bernat's
Boa, and a really wonderfully soft one in Zitron's Filou. Actually
made these in the round on 16 sts rather than make flat and sew up, so
the fuzzy sides are out all the way around no matter how you drape
them. I would have made them all in Filou, but the color selection is
very limited. Also considered Lana's Amsterdam, which is also very
soft, but again colors are scarce!

Haven't taken any pictures of those yet, just got busy on a request
for hats for the needy as the temperature is getting ready to drop, so
that's my project this month, hats. A friend made up a quick knitting
machine pattern using durable worsted weight Red Heart from afghan
leftovers, so I can make stripes or do other color work using her
pattern. She had planned on making a Harry Potter Prisoner Of Azkaban
stripe style hat using that pattern for another friend, but she died
unexpectedly, and so my friend couldn't make one for her, but she is
happy to share her pattern.

I plan on making 3 for The Ships Project (1 done already) for those in
the military freezing on ships in the ocean, and 3 for Hats For The
Homeless to help those less fortunate, especially teens and adults, as
it seems babies get plenty of charity items like blankets and clothes,
but the older ones often fall through the cracks, and I remember being
really cold as a poor teen. I'm thinking I may make mittens to go
with the teen or adult hats, because my hands were almost always cold
in the winter!

What did you finish in September?

Hi Everyone,

I haven't been posting much lately. Been really busy with school,
knitting, kids and painting. This September I finished a pair of socks
for my FIL, a pair for my SIL, and though I didn't finish it in
September, I just finished the Sienna Cardi from the Fall Interweave
Knits. I really enjoyed making Sienna after working with such small
needles and yarn on the socks all summer. She knit up pretty fast.

Here's some pics:

I've mostly been doing baby things this past month. I managed 2 pair of
bootees, 1 baby hat - in the round, 1 Matinee coat, a baby bib, and a
couple of cloths. Have got too many things on the needles, and really
want to get them finished. Going into summer as we are, means I don't
really want to knit anything too heavy; but maybe I will, just to get
things ready for next Winter. lol

Wow, the socks and Sienna look great and so does your drawing. I
didn't know you were such a talented artist!
