I was going to do some retrospective additions of posts about things I've been working on, but thought that'd be pretty lame. So I'll just post some pictures.

Part of a set I'm making for a friend for Xmas. We have yet to exchange gifts so no details or real pictures ... yet.

sideways cloche

I got a Borders GC for Xmas so I bought Boutique Knits by Laura Irwin. I legitimately want to make every pattern out of that book. I can't say that for many knitting books out there. This is the sideways cloche and I love it. There are a few things I'd do to change the pattern next time (and I'm pretty sure there will be a next time. 1) cast on less stitches, probably 38 or so. 2) use a provisional cast on and use a kitchener stitch to seam the sides together. 3) seam the sides first, then pick up the stitches for the top with dpns and work in the round.

Yarn I picked up from Knitche the day after Xmas. The Katia Peru is what I used for my cloche, and that Louet Gems will make me another Rose Red by Ysolda Teague. I'm casting on that badboy tonight.

Happy holidays!

p.s. I've completed 63 projects this year. I think I did a good job of exceeding my goal.
