Knitting Update

I've been doing a LOT of knitting lately!

Back in September, or early October, Miriam () gave me a whole bunch of some yarn she'd spun. She had tried several times to make something out of it, and just didn't like how it was knitting up, so she passed it on. I've managed to make several projects out of it so far, first a slouchy hat(Pattern), then a pair of fingerless gloves(Pattern), and finally I've just started a one-row scarf that will be a gift(Pattern).

I am getting a bit sick of using the same yarn, so I've also started a Fair Isle Hat (Pattern) for my brother for Christmas. It's the first time I've done color work, and I'm quite pleased how it's coming together, despite messing up a few times. I've also got big plans of doing sock for my sister in law, and perhaps more hats/socks/gloves/scarves for others, depends on fast things come together.
