Bits and Pieces

I was taking stock of my Works In Progress bin and I decided that even though it's November I still have plenty of time for Christmas knitting and added a few more projects to the queue.  

First up, we have a scarf for the son of a coworker.  I used Knit Picks Brava in bulky so it moves along a little faster.  This scarf was requested to be a minimum of 8' long, preferably 10'.  I'm enjoying the mindless garter stitch for now.  Ask me if that's changed around the 5' mark.

Next up we have a Dinosaur Hood for a lovely 4-year-old who is, in fact, a dinosaur himself.  Made with Knit PIcks Swish in "Bordeaux" and "Gulfstream" I'm hoping it will be durable and comfortable for his delicate little head.

I made this much in just an afternoon and ran out of yarn.  I clearly read the pattern, noticed how much blue I would need, and promptly ordered less than I would need to finish it.  It seems the 110 yards I ordered is less than the 180 yards I actually need.  Who knew?

And now, in his blog debut, I present Eli Waites Kulik.  This would be the Canadian baby from a prior post.  Here he is looking snuggly and perfect in his swaddle blanket.  It seems it's doing its job quite well.

I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting Eli in person, but I hope to do so in the very near future.  In the meantime, I'm trusting his mommy and daddy to keep the woolly pictures coming.

Stay cozy, little one.  It supposed to snow tonight.  Just a dusting, but the first snowfall always strikes a cord in knitters.  There are loved ones to keep warm.
