Wool & Words

You wouldn't know it to read this blog of late, but I have indeed been knitting quite a bit. Steve and I knit hats for the nieces/nephews...nothing really exciting there. I've knit some more hats, but I can't show pics yet...so no hat photos for you. I will, however, share the yarn choices:

Lamb's Pride Superwash (a personal favorite for the color shading and the washableness)
Cleckheaton Country 8 Ply (a new fave...flat color, but oh so soft!)
Plymouth Galway Heathers (soft yummy wool AND heathered colors--what's not to love?)
Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed (can we say eternal yum? I may not be able to let this hat go)

Pics to follow after the holiday madness is over.

I can, however, share pics of some other, more personal projects, with you. I'll leave you to guess what I'm knitting:

1. Knit in K1C2's Paint Box (a great Kureyon sub, if you ask me), this item is a repeat of something I've knit already. The yarn choice is a bit out of character for me (I tend to like a great deal of color control), but I think I'll like this one better than the first that I knit. Any guesses?

2. Not as much knitting here, but I'll give you a hint--this design recently appeared in a major knitting mag and has literary ties. Yarn: Jo Sharp DK Wool. This is destined to be a shop model for Main Street...for a while.

Guesses?
