Project Status

1. Mike's Socks

The first sock is finished, and I'm over halfway finished with the foot of the second one.

2. Polka Dot Booties

I hit a snag with these when I ran out of tan yarn with 7 rows left on the second bootie. I plan on shortening the cuffs by 4 rows, so I have to pull out some rows on the first bootie. Due to the yarn shortage, I won't be making the matching hat after all.

3. Marshall

The sleeves are finished and I'd almost finished the back when I managed to screw up the neck shaping. I have to unknit a couple of rows to fix it. Tonight and tomorrow are knit nights so I'm hoping to finish the front. Then I can get this guy done by Monday.

4. Jiffy Hat

I finished this hat over the weekend. This pattern is just stockinette stitch and calls for size 10.5 needles, so it only took a few hours to finish. The pattern is from the Parents Special Baby Winter 2002 issue. Instead of knitting the hat flat as the pattern instructed, I knit it in the round. The hat used one skein each of Lion Brand Jiffy in colors 110- Navy and 111- Heather Blue.

Note: There are new pictures on both Charlotte and Joshua's sites.
