A little less running means a little more time for knitting. With a deadline looming (baby about to arrive) it was time to finish up a sweater and hat project I have had in the works for some time:
 |
| EZ's Baby Surprise and Purl Soho's Garter Stitch Ear Flap Hat |
 |
| Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket |
 |
| Purl Soho Garter Stitch Ear Flap Hat |
Also completed the socks I started back in July at the Brandon Folk Festival:
 |
| Basic sock pattern; Three Irish Girls Adorn Luxe Sock Yarn Bali Hai color way |
Redesigned, knit, redesigned and knit a hat for a friend:
 |
| Runner's Hat (Wildknits original) Sawtooth V2 |
Started a garter stitch stole that will be gifted to another friend who is facing some challenges:
 |
| Stonecrop (Jared Flood) Kauni EQ wool |
 |
| Bottom border plus first few rows of center panel |
This still leaves one project in the active, but long-term UFO, pile:
 |
| Biohazard Socks |
I have made some progress on the socks. After realizing the original pattern had a heel style that does not work for my ankle/foot I ripped out the nearly completed sock; redesigned the heel using my old standard heel flap pattern and reknit that sock. I have started the second sock, but it has been set aside for the more urgent knitting projects.

Thank you for your knits updates! I always look forward those, as we share the passion:)
Thanks Olga! I will try to be better about updating the blog with knitterly content.
That baby jacket - WOW WOW WOW! Love it - I guess having a grandkid (Shelley's) makes me like things like that more.
Thanks Londell!
There is a reason that is one of my favorite jackets to make for babies. It is a relatively easy knit, but makes for a stunning finished product! Especially if you pick the right yarn and buttons.
And yes, having a grandkid around makes it all the more fun to make (or buy) baby things.
