Christmas Knitting Done!

Finally finished the Peace Cowl, the last of the knitted Christmas gifts for 2016. I love how it turned out! #peaceproject2016 #Peaceproject

First Teen Hat 2017 ~

Finished first teen hat for 2017 - a good start for this great goal of 17 hats in 2017 for the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank holiday event in December 2017.

Yes, I think I will...

...cast on another new project...yes, I will!  This is the first hat of my "17 hats in 2017" goal for the December Food Bank holiday event, and I love how it is turning out. Pattern is Schneeflocke Hat!

Apparently, we are casting on all the things...

Casting on a blanket for me this time!  I still have enough yarn for a third blanket! I'm missing a few of the colors, yet perhaps I can find them on eBay!

Cast On!

Making this for Liz, as she will be in the Seattle Women's March 2017. Using this pink hand spun that I bought at Ft Worden a few years ago. Using the KitKat Hat pattern so I can knit in the round!

These beauties!

Look how lucky I am!  These beauties were gifts to me!  I can't wait to cast on the lovely yarn and spin the fiber - It will be my first adventure with Targhee, and my first adventure with Hedgehog Fibers yarn too!  I am so excited!!!!  Thanks to the Jitteryknitter that knows exactly what I really need for Christmas!!!

Celebrating!

So happy to see daughter with her blanket!  Merry Christmas to all!

Amazing Mittens!

Someday I am going to try to make these cookies! We are so lucky to get them as gifts! Major Yum!

Getting closer to beginning that second skein!  I wish the cat would help!! 

More Peace!

Fabulously Bright!

Check out this fabulous neon yarn from my pal @skyhag!  This bright and cheery yarn is in exchange for a 1950's vintage copy of Vogue knitting at Fort Worden this year.  I love these colors!!!

World Knit For Peace Day!

Thanks to the Healthy Knitter for this creative inspiration (and pattern) so we can #knitforpeace #peaceproject #peaceproject2016 together.  I have not completed this cowl yet, but I have high hopes to be done before the new year!  As you can see, Charlie likes this cowl too!

Dear Wheel: Oh, how I've missed you!

So great to be spinning again, just to take the edge off our long separation! This Christmas knitting has been taking me away from my sweet wheel!

Peace Cowl!

Back to knitting on the Peace Cowl, these rounds of 318 stitches are taking longer than I thought! Still looks lovely, and high hopes to finish by Christmas. #projectpeace #knitforpeace

Go Pack Go!

What a great game against the Seahawks! The best birthday present for my man!

Both Heels!!

Making progress!!!!!  Love knitting by the Christmas Tree!

Heel Turn!

Could I possibly be done with these for Christmas?

Delivered 16 Teen Hats today!

...and one toddler hat too!  Felt so great to deliver Teen hats to the Issaquah Holiday Gift Barn for the clients of the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank. Charity knitting is a great way to #payitforward and the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank does a great job for their clients. Looking forward to knitting #17hatsin2017 next year!

Not heel time yet ~

I need to knit faster to get these socks done for Christmas!! At least I am on season 7 of Gilmore Girls, so that has been a good knitting companion!

Peace and Packers!

Working on the peace cowl while watching a snowy Packers game!  Aaron Rogers has his game face on here, getting ready for the final push to win the game! Go Pack Go!! #projectpeace

Cast on!

Great to cast on this lovely cowl, and wonderful to think of all the peaceful and creative knitters that are also knitting this cowl.  Thanks to the healthyknitter.com for this idea and free pattern on Ravelry! #peaceproject 

Gussets!

Finally on the gussets!  Can I possibly finish these before Christmas???
