WIP's & 1/2 FO's

Hiya! Well, since I'm a bit behind in posting ...hereya go!

Here's a pair of mis-matched WIP's:
To the left--Lucky 7 Hat by Weezalana using Paton's Merino Tweed; to the right Better Bucket Hat in 100% Purewool Poison (Malabrigo's cheaper cousin ;) I'm knitting this hat along with my pal NC Christine (hehe should I say forcing her to do it, our first crocheted provisional cast on using the working yarn and hook, how I first saw Pam use it at SAFF to cast on like 300 plus stitches) The pinkish looking yarn is the Poison and the blue is the provisional cast on.

Now for the 1/2 FO's

Ice Cream Socks in Vesper Sock Yarn 1 down, 1 toe to go! How fast can I knit a sock...hmm...12 days left to the month, and considering Sock 1 has been in progress since..like..um..June/July..It has been rescued from being car/apppointment/waiting for the girl socks to hey, let's just get em done!

Oh, and what has been sucking up all my time besides one very sick hubby. (ETA: flu has finally left the building!!!)

Freakin' Finally, TD body is done, 3" shorter than pattern says...why, no clue, but it's not blocked yet and geesh, that skirt is 83 rows and since I knit 14 of them twice, I'd say it was 97 rows on there! In it's not blocked state, and about to get the collar stitches picked up. And another thing, you see others may have knit this using size 10 needles. Well, my darn gauge was acheived using size 8's!!!!!!


To ensure no Second Sleeve Syndrome (which is the cousin to the dreaded Second Sock Syndrome) I'm knitting them 2 at a time. Yes, the tiny bit of tangling is a pain but trust me, I've got like 2 more winter sweaters waiting to be knit....I've only swatched both of them, and have not cast on..staying true to TD and it better fit!
