I also did a whole bunch of adult mittens with chunky yarn that the charity knitting group gave me for that purpose.
And when I ran out of the chunky weight, I used doubled worsted. (The small pair is a set of kid's mittens to use the remaining yarn.)
Then another pair of socks.
More adult mittens:
And a hat- it was intended to be a kind of low key hat, the kind that a guy who didn't want flashy would go for. But the yarn was incredibly soft and comfy.
A colorwork hat... not entirely successful as to what I was trying to do, but still fun.
Then there were yarn ends for kid mittens.
And yet another hat because colorwork is addictive.
Really, it's a bit pathetic for 6 months worth of knitting, but it's been pretty busy.
I think that's pretty good for six months! That's a lot of knits!
ReplyDeleteAh, not by my standards. I'm only at 28 FOs for the year, and none of them are especially big. And the last 5-6 were done in October! Hmm. Now I had to go back and look at my stats. Interesting. I'm actually on pace for what I've done the last 3 years, but that's a sharp drop from 2010, when I did 100 FOs, and 70+ in 2011 and 2012.
DeleteThe colorwork is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's actually super easy to improvise hats with random colorwork- cast on a number of stitches with lots of divisors, knit an inch or so of ribbing, then start throwing random patterns at it until it's long enough!
DeleteWhen I say 'random patterns' I usually mean that I open up one of my big books of charts and pick something.
