100

This is my 100th post. Whew! Let´s celebrate it by bragging about another finished objects.

I wanted to include this picture in my previous post but I just forgot it. So here it is. Another stash-busting hat.


It is made of Debbie Mumm Traditions in Chocolate Raspberry. I used the same yarn to make these mittens a year ago and I am happy with the result again.

I finished the Lara hood! I used two strands of the same yarn (in grass green colorway) as for the Spring Forward socks. It turned out slightly bigger as I didn´t bother to check the gauge but I still like it a lot. I´m thinking of lining it with some fabric to make it warmer.


This was really a great pattern. The finishing is very clever and neat. I think I will use the applied i-cord more often. The only thing I did differently was that I didn´t join the hood in round when the pattern says that I should. I knitted the whole thing flat and then I sew it in the back. I did it because I always get a different gauge and the stitches don´t look the same when I knit in round.

I also finished the second pair of socks! It required a great deal of self denial to finish them. Especially the second one. But they made the recipient happy so it was all worth it. I gave the other pair, the blue Thuja socks, to my mom and she was happy too.


Now I am the one who´s unhappy because everybody has a pair of warm socks and I have none and I want them too! I think I should knit a third pair.
