The Sherpa Hat test knit has been going very well, I love all the beautiful hats that I see each morning when I go onto the group. If you’d like to pop over to the thread and have a look go here. I’m knitting up this charcoal Sherpa Hat for Richard, next week, he leaves for 5 days to go on his Sani 2 Sea mountain biking adventure. He has been training for months and it’s going to be freezing!
Giraffes, Lions and Elephants have been knitted, they need to be stuffed and finished off.
My Sunny Days Shawlette from Nurturing Fibres, is coming along nicely, I just need to check on the amount of stitches and then start the edging. There are so many projects I want to get going with but then I’m sure I’d have too many surely? How many do you usually have on the go at a time? I want to cast on for an Owl and a bathmat soon…
Reading The Lord of the Rings to the boys and I’m still enjoying books by The Yarn Harlot.
Joining with Ginny today.
I can see your creations are getting pretty or cute:) Love the yarn you use for the sherpa hat.
I was thinking about starting the lord of the rings. Seems like a nice long summer read 🙂 That charcoal sherpa hat is looking great!
I’m really enjoying LOR:)
Your shawlette is lovely. I’v just joined the KAL but am having a bit of difficulty in finding the right yarn in my stash.
It’s such a lovely KAL, I’m looking forward to seeing your project:)
that colour for the sherpa hat is very beautiful!
I love your elephant tea cup. And your shawl is just lovely.
Thanks Kate! Kye and I were having a little tea party today:)
really loved knitting the sherpa…..have queued the sunny days….but that leads to your last question….how many knits in progress??? most definitely too many already!
Thanks so much Steph, I love your Sherpa Hat! It’s so beautiful!
Loving the color of your current sherpa!
Thanks Lisa!
The yarn for your sherpa hat is gorgeous!
I have four projects on the go at the moment, but not getting very far with them at the moment. I struggle sometimes to continue with the enthusiasm I started with!
I have three projects on the needles at the moment and plans for three more. I too have a pile of knitted animals waiting to be stuffed.
AN OWL!!!!!!!! I will be the first to purchase the pattern. I LOVE owls.
i have finally broke out of my monogamous shell, too many pretty things to knit! i LOVE your hat linda, and i’m loving carles shawl too. and that little ellie mug, love that too!
p.s. it’s good you are checking your stitches, i was sleep knitting again and went (way) over, hee hee.
I took a peek at you KAL on ravelry. What a lovely bunch of hats being created with your pattern! Love you shawl!
Very nice. Looking forward to seeing the finished objects. By the way, my project count for last week was 11 but only 7 of them are WIPs now.
Lovely hat, hope it keeps the boy warm on his trek.
Beautiful colour in your shawl. Enjoy reading.
Loving the charcoal shade for this hat! I sometimes think it’s possible to become a little over inspired – soooo many projects, so little time, aghh! I am anxious to start the Sunny Days shawlette but am also working on a big project at the moment too..oh, then there are the fingerless mitts to make and a scarf for the youngest and so the list goes on….!
Thank you for inviting me to test knit – it was so much fun! 🙂
Love the color for your hat, the ravelry page has a ton of beautiful test knits! Thanks for sharing… I can’t wait for my kids to be old enough to enjoy LOTR as a read aloud… we’re more in the Curious George world right now!
