Knitting FOs for January through June

5-hr Baby Sweater for Emma, pink acrylic, pattern from online somewhere (google it). Did I give it to her? No. I don't like the yarn, it's not soft and I could knit a better one for the daughter of a niece. Better meaning better yarn.

Cabled fingerless mitts for Erin, Green Lamb's Pride. The thing in my hand? A stitch marker made from a cardboard tampon tube because I'd left my regular plastic markers at home.

Baby Hat & Socks, White/Primary multi Steinbach Wolle Strapaz. Given to Matt Evans and his wife, Annie, for baby Ryan

Baby Hat, Blue JaWoll Superwash. Also given to Matt and Annie. I think I made a pair of socks as well, but I don't have a picture.

Hip-Hop Jacquard Socks, Patons Kroy, pattern is the free one with the socks. Made as a gift for sister 2 of 2. Only the second pair of socks I've ever made and I made them for her. She, naturally, asked "Are these slippers?" Can't blame her. I mean, look at them, they're weirdly shaped. But made with love.

Ruffled edge vest, Cotton Classic. Made from the Handy Book of Patterns. No picture because I'm lame. But my other sister, 1 of 2, is also lame because I asked for a picture but she never took one.

Ruffled Blanket, KnitPicks Crayon, pattern is found in Rainbow Knits for kids. Made as a sample for KnitPicks. I had wanted to keep it, so I'm now making a second one for a woman at church and her new son.

Dulaan knitting: 3 Pinwheel hats, 2 pullover vests, 1 pullover sweater and a scarf. The scarf includes the assistance of niece Samantha. The hats are Wool-Ease and Encore leftover from scarves made at Christmas time. The vests and sweater are made from Red Heart I had in the stash for a few years. The scarf is some Reynolds yarn I had and Samantha knit the first 5 inches or so for me.

Also for Dulaan: 2 hats made with the Ken pattern from the Harlot out of leftover Lamb's Pride.

Berry Freeze, Horstia Maulbeerseide-Schurwolle. Do I have a finished photo? No. Have I seen it on Mom since it was finished? No. Again, am I lame? Yes.
