Catch up

I swear I didn't stop knitting.  There have been a *few* things I have managed to finish lately (well, lately being in the last 7 months) I swear!  Thus, the catch-up FO dumps.  My bad.

Do you know that means the baby-man is 7 months old now?  How did that happen?

Anyhow, I did pretty well with the mystery KAL that I signed up for about a week before my due date.  I think I finished it at the end of November, sadly, I decided to add a zipper instead of buttons as I quite obviously knit the not quite right size for my bigger-than-it-used-to-be body - this is only sadly because I am lazy and have not sewn in the zipper.

Imagine how amazing it will be when it zips up.

Those cables are hawt!

My friend Jess also decided to start teaching people how to crochet and since my crochet skills are somewhat lacking and I wanted to support my friend, I went to her very first class at The Loop in Kensington and we made these lovely little toques.

Oh yeah bitches.  I totally made crochet cables.  Boom.

But of course, what is a toque without mittens?  Nothing.  That is what it is...  so I sort of massively edited a pattern for mittens and made something that sort of matches.  :)  To my surprise, my cable-y mittens got some attention from the pattern designer and my edits are linked from the pattern details page on Rav now.  Woo!  SUPER EXCITING!!!!

Love my mittens!!!

 That's probably enough catch up for one day.  There will be plenty more to come.  :)
