May finished objects

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...)

What a gallery of work! WOW! I'm so impressed! I myself have never
tried knitting with 2 hands like the hat---where did you find that
pattern?

Wonderful stuff!!!!!!!

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.

Well done - I love those socks! :-)

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.

I only have one FO for May:

A pair of felted slippers for me done with the Fibertrends clogs pattern.

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!

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

Those look wonderful Shelagh. I'll bet they're comfy and warm.

The nicest thing is they're very soft, and yes, nice and warm. ;)
