Really Needs to Post more often

I even finished a project recently...

I finished knitting the absorbo bath mat from Mason Dixon Knitting... I think I started this some time in 2007 from the best of my estimates : )

I also went to the Fold Saturday Night for Toni's summer solstice sale, I got some new yarn (shocking at a yarn store) and the Baby Yours pattern, which I thought would be good for some of the gender neutral babies coming in the near future. I didn't buy any yarn to make this because I wasn't sure what a good gender neutral color scheme would be. Then I got home and thought RED!

Winner

Yesterday at the North Suburban Knit Out I won the fastest knitter contest and won this great basket of Noro! I got three balls of silk garden, a ball of kureyon, two balls of Kochoran and a ball of Silk Garden Sock Yarn. I also won a sock book as a door prize it was a really good day! I never win anything.

Vacation

I finished my lace ribbon scarf, but sadly my camera is already packed up to go on vacation. So picture at the end of March sometime. I have also made a little more progress on my fishy mittens and have two sock knitting projects in my bag for France!
So more after the 28th!

My memory

Does anyone remember seeing a hood scarf? it was red and ribbed and I remember seeing it somewhere, and thinking it might be cute to make. Anyone have any ideas where I could have seen this?

Calorimetry

Super Bowl Sunday was used to knit a nice quick little project a friend had requested. I had started this before and worked 2 rows before deciding it was going to come out to large. I ripped it and let it sit for a few weeks. I cast on 100 stitches instead of 120 and I worked fewer repeats of row 5 than required to make it wide enough but not too wide.

I think it turned out really cute and think I may make one for myself.

A few straggling projects.

I don't know how it always ends up being so long between posts.

I made Isaac a sweater to match his brother and sisters... His birthday was in the middle of January so his sweater was knit after Christmas.

I also made a scarf for myself.
