Crummy photo shoot

But I am going to share anyways because I said I would. The pictures at work did not turn out good either, so I took some of myself this morning in the mirror at home.
Here is a Elizabeth Zimmerman hat called the snail hat, the pattern is in the most recent Vogue Knitting magazine that just came out. Of course bulky yarn and big needles made this a fast project. The fingerless gloves are from A Friend to knit with blog. And here is my tam and so called scarf patterns that I got off of Ravelry.com. My tam came out a little big for my head and I thinking of washing it in the machine but don't want it to shrink too much.

I am still waiting on my webs order to get here so I can start some new projects.

I just caved in and gave in to my wants

Yep, I did it. Went and purchased some more yarn. Just placed a huge order over at Webs. I want to make this sweater for me . Hopefully I get it right this time for my size since the last two came out to small then too big for me. Luckily I had peeps I could give them to and they loved them and are wearing them this winter.
I have finished some more small projects, a tam for me and one for a friend at work, and the my so called scarf pattern to match my tam. I tried Friday to have a co-worker take a picture of my new matching hat and scarf set in front of the courthouse where I work, but they did not come out well. I am going to try again tomorrow, so stay tuned.

More Birthday Hats!

Here is the father in law with his birthday hat. He thought it was dorky, but I know that he prefers ballcaps to stocking caps. I've tried to convince him that this hat is way warmer that a ballcap, but you know how old guys are.

Here is the sister in law in her tam, a tam for a Tamia. I got the pattern over on Ravelry but did not save in my queue, so just search for tams, there are several to choose from. I loved this pattern and how it turned out.

The married daughter wore her wool sweater I made to work last week. This is the one I started for myself that came out too big for me. She likes it but says the arms are a little long, but not a problem.

I now want to go to the yarn store and buy yarn so I can start one for myself, but I have several unfinished projects around here I can work on. Must control myself!

Too funny
