Finished two items for Warm Woolies (www.warmwoolies.org ) an infant hat
with vertical striping to prove to myself I could knit one color in each hand, and a wool vest with alpaca stripe. Also The Most Brightly Colored Socks I've Ever Knit (at the very bottom of the page with the other socks...) Georgia -- http://georgiamorgan.net/html/knitting.htm http://georgiamorgan.net |

I myself have never tried knitting with 2 hands like the hat---where did you find that pattern? Wonderful stuff!!!!!!! Wendy |

The basic pattern for the hat comes from Warm Woolies--I'm afraid I knitted
that one on smaller-than-regulation needles, so it is definitely an infant hat. The color pattern I just made up as I went along--a bunch of rows of the same number of red and blue stitches alternating--I forget what the numbers were. There are great instructions for two-handed knitting in the April 27, 2007 entry at http://techknitting.blogspot.com/ -- I really should read this blog more often--it's great.

I'm getting used to them. I expect the next pair will be pretty colorful
too, because there's a lot of leftover yarn that will go into them. Mixing self striping yars is even more fun than just knitting them. Georgia "Bernadette" wrote in message ...

I only have one FO for May:
A pair of felted slippers for me done with the Fibertrends clogs pattern. http://tinyurl.com/yu9gkm I had tried to make these in the past, but used wool that didn't shrink up enough. This time I tried 3 ply White Buffalo yarn in a soft steely blue/grey. Worked like a charm. Since wearing them, they seem to have stretched or loosened up some, so I think I'll throw them back in the washer to shrink them a little bit more. ;) I'm working on a pair of socks from a pattern called Hawaiian Leis, and am having a terrible time with the pattern. I had to sort it out for the first sock, and now have forgotten what I did. I should have written it down. Now I have to figure it out all over again. Bah! Shelagh |

I'm very impressed! I tried felting some mittens once, concluded it took
more experimentation and engineering than I had patience for. Georgia "Shillelagh" wrote in message ...
