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? Leah |

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: http://hesiraknits.blogspot.com/2006/09/some-socks.html http://hesiraknits.blogspot.com/2006...lock-draw.html Hugs, Hesira |

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 Charmaine |
