A baby hat ...
... made from the same yarn as the ol' Calorimetry. Super soft! Knit in the round on size 8 DPNs, 2x2 rib. I cast on 64 stitches and knit rather loosely until it looked to be a good size for a little guy. I love this yarn -- it both hugs & gives.
And now, back to the cardigan.
Getting off to a questionable start here, though I am no stranger to the once-a-month posting habit. On the bright side, I can never be accused of delivering TMI, right? Maybe, sometimes. Moving on.
Before getting back on the sleeves, I started my first sock ever. It's not perfect, far from it, though very exciting being that over the past year every sock attempt was a great big disaster. Friends, toe up is the way to go! Of course now I'm sort of stalled at the cuff because the 1x1 ribbing is so tedious. Quitter that I am, I might take it apart and start over so that my wrapped stitches will be perfection. I had hoped I might knit some socks for my sister as a Christmas gift, but I would want them to last. And wouldn't it be a shame to have one iffy sock and one very nice sock when they should be a bonafide pair? Yeah, let's frog that sock.
