Hey. What's up?

I am posting from the library. My internet at home is a bit wonky right now. I did manage to get a few photos uploaded of the freshly completed items.

The Silk Garden hat v 2.0:
1 skein Noro Silk Garden Color 205
US Size 6 DPNs
Basic hat recipe

And a cute little felted box:
Partial skeins of Yarns Brunswick Brunsana (Persian Yarn) in black and pale pink
US Size 11
8 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 3"
Based on the pattern in Mason-Dixon Knitting

The box has shrunk down a little more since drying totally. I might give it another round of felting. I forgot how fun these are to knit. I made a very small square on for Mom for Christmas and really liked it. This one felted a little better. I went up a few needle sizes. I think I got it prefect this time.

A HUGE GIANT FANTASTICALLY ENORMOUS Thanks to Lauren for my Lurve Package! I love, love, love the yarn. It's mouthwatering. The Swiffers wil help keep my hardwood floors looking lovely for photoshoots.
And thanks to Cynthia for making me the most lovely stitch markers! I love the colors. They match my Hourglass perfectly!

Thanks so much you guys! I was having a really crappy day and that really brightened things up!

ETA: Photos! I got them uploaded! Woo!

Hat tricks.

I have some photos of the finished and blocked IHS. It looks lovely, I'm just too tired to edit/upload photos. I wore the scarf out on Saturday morning to go bridesmaid dress shopping. By the afternoon, it was too hot to wear and it was happily living in my J.Crew bag.

I finished the grey hat for Nick on Thursday evening... And it was too large... It got frogged Friday. I'm going to re-knit it soon.

I finished the purple and pink Silk Garden hat, but I'm afraid it might be a little too small. I'm going to pull out the CO end and add some more length. I love the way the colorway knit up though.

I also started a very cute 4x2 pink and green striped hat. It's just some generic yarn that was in the stash, but the colors looked great together and I wanted to knit something especially for Project Spectrum. (I've been falling behind... I still haven't finished my grey scarf that I cast on at the beginning of this round.)

I have another hat in the works for as soon as Vince decides what kind of pattern he wants. He played in yarn for quite a while on Sunday night trying to pick out what he wanted.

I think that's all the knitting news... I honestly can't remember. I need some sleep.
