Where has the year gone? Turning the calendar to November this morning was a reality slap that the holidays are around the corner. It doesn't look like there will be too many knitted projects for the holidays this year....we'll see maybe a few small projects.
It felt good last week to finish a few projects. I finished my niece's afghan. It's version number 2. The original version with 13 balls of yarn is still in the bin near the couch....frog pond or lapgan for MIL...who knows. MIL loves the pattern and colors...do I really want to knit another row of hearts? Time will tell.
The yarn used for this project was Webs
Valley Yarns Superwash. The colors are Grape and Bight Pink. It's knit on size 8 circulars and pieced together. The outside boarder is single crochet. The afghan design is one of my own with the help of the heart pattern from
Pieni neuleblogi - ohjeita/patterns. 
I love these socks. Over the past year or two I have added red into my wardrobe. For years I wouldn't purchase red for myself...why? These socks were knit with Lana Grossa Weilenweit Fantasy color way Farbe 4790 Partie 14262. They are 80% Virgin Wool and 20% Polyamid. They were knit toe up using size 1 dpns sometimes and one spent a lot of time on 2 circulars. I find it easier to knit socks with 2 circulars while co-piloting....less needles to drop and stitches drop less. The heel is a short row heel from
CT&H no wrapped stitches.
Two hats have been knitted for the Nashua Soup Kitchen per the request of Knitting for Angels. These are quick and easy hats. Both hats are made in the round with size 7 circular and dpns. Patons Classic Wool Col 77011 lot 163166.
The second hat has a pointer top while on the gallon size water bottle but, not when on my head. They are made with a simple knit and purl with decreases. The second hat has a rolled edge which I'm not sure if I like. There is currently another hat on needles knitted with Caron yarn. When it's done I'll post pictures. I'm hoping to knit 4 to 6 hats for the Nashua Soup Kitchen before starting any knitting for family.

Hey stranger :) Wow! The afghan came out great! I'll have to give that Valley Yarns yarn a try, I keep seeing it everywhere. Love the socks, too.
