Pink Shrug
I knitted this pink shrug from the pattern "Molly" in the book, "Junior Knits" by Debbie Bliss. I used Debbie Bliss cashmerino aran. It's still a wee bit big on my daughter, but she'll grow into it soon.

Orange Frock Camisole
It's cold and windy outside. I'm bundled up in blankets and have no intention of getting up to get any exercise. But I finished this top in less than a month, taken from the free Frock Camisole pattern from Knitting Daily. Just little shock of clementine to remind me that all winters come to an end eventually and someday, someday it will be warm outside again.

Knit Socks
I met this lady at my local Stitch 'n Bitch and she was knitting a pair of socks at once on a circular needle. My curiosity was peaked though it seemed a bit intimidating. The next time I was at a yarn store, I came upon this book, 2-at-a-Time Socks: Revealed Inside. . . The Secret of Knitting Two at Once on One Circular Needle Works for any Sock Pattern!
.It seemed a bit complicated at first, and I had to frog my first few attempts, but after a few tries, I finally did it!
I finished it just in time for Christmas. We call it the Cindy Lou Who socks (from the original cartoon animation of "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas") because of the pointed toe.

Finished Cosmo's Wool Sweater
I finally finished Cosmo's Wool Sweater!!!It took me about a month from when I cast on to when I bound off. I would have been done sooner had I not taken a few days off from the project.
Now here's the fun part. Pictures!!!

Cosmo's Wool Sweater CO
Last Sunday a friend showed up with a dog that needed a home, and we couldn't refuse. We now have Cosmo as a sweet little addition to our family. He's a 2 year old "Rat-cha," a rat terrier and chihuahua mix. He's small, only 15 pounds and measures 18 inches around his belly.
I cast on a dog sweater using the cream and brown wool I bought at Ellsfarm in Maine last summer. I think the colors go with the colors on his face, and would keep him warm when we take walks by the beach.

Butterfly on the Beach
I made this scarf for my daughter based on the Butterflies Are Free pattern on Stitch 'n Bitch Nation
, page 40.The first day she wore it, she lost the butterfly on the beach. I should have secured it better. Fly, little butterfly!

Umbilical Cord Hat
A friend is having a baby very soon so I knitted this little hat and sent it in the mail for her. It's from the Umbilical Cord Hat pattern published in Stitch 'n Bitch
, page 188.I used some leftover Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. I started with less than a skein and still had a bit leftover after the project was done.
Is it a faux pas to include care instructions with a gift like this? The yarn I used is a cashmere blend, and I would hate for them to put it through the dryer.
This is the second gift I knitted for an expectant mom. By the way, my cousin Lissa gave birth to a baby girl last week. Yipee!!!
