Little bits...

Some little projects:
---
Cotton Candy 1
Cotton Candy 2
Cotton Candy Scarflette
Rowan Big Wool Tuft in Powder Puff
Reversible scarflette... just a seed stitch rectangle, basically. I pulled all the tufts in the yarn to one side and put two buttons back to back so you could see one either way you wear it.
The yarn is super super soft- much softer than regular Big Wool, for some reason...

Cascade Magnum in 4006

Bethany Hat 1
This hat was commissioned by Bethany is just a plain cap I improvised, and added the flower from the First Hat pattern in Knit2Together.
She brought the fabulous yarn home on her honeymoon... this may be the first yarn I've knitted that actually looks better knit up than in the skein:
Garnstudio Eskimo

And one big-ish project:
---
Cable Jacket 1
Cable Jacket 2
Cropped Jacket
Vogue Knitting Holiday 2005
Lion Wool-Ease Thick & Quick
These pictures make it look pretty, but in real life, not so good. I look like the abominable snowman, and not in a good way. Also, the construction killed me.Btw, the Thick & Quick Woolease does not machine wash half as well as the the worsted...
Update 12/3: Here are the action pics, as requested:
Cable Jacket 3

That last one is me thinking ummm... why did I knit this?

I saw some of your knitted beauties over at Craftster, and I just had to pop over here to tell you that I adore them! I really love the beautiful Anthropologie-esque sweater in this post - I hope that someday I will be proficient enough in my knitting to accomplish a project like that!

Love,
Sarah
