Happy New Year!!

Listening to: Whiskey Sour by The Calamity

I hope all of you out there had a fun and safe New Years Eve, and I wish that 2010 be your best year so far! It's a new start, a fresh slate, so enjoy every minute of it, and make the most of it!

This is gonna be a knitting post! I only have 2 pictures of projects to show off, I knit a lot of things last month that I gave away without taking pictures. I knit 2 cowls, one for my sister and one for my cousin, both out of Malabrigo Chunky. I knit a bright yellow scarf for another cousin out of Malabrigo Merino Worsted (which I loved and wanted to keep!). I knit a shoulder shawlfor my grandmother out of Malabrigo Merino Worsted (I know, this was the Christmas of Malabrigo!), and a pair of gloves for my lovely boyfriend. Hopefully I can get pics of some of these things to show you guys!
Anyway, here are the knits I managed to sneak in to make for myself!

Numero Uno:

When I saw that Incognito pattern in the latest issue of Knitty, I knew I had to make it. James has a 'stache that he loves and that I absolutely hate. Don't get me wrong, he's a handsome devil with or without it, I just prefer my men not to be mustachioed. I used leftover amounts of Malabrigo merino worsted (actually, I used the leftovers from the shawl I made for my grandma). I made the adult large size, the tangy version of the pattern, and the Poirot chart.

Numero Dos:

Piper! It's so cute, I love it so much! It's totally my style. Kinda funky and vintage looking. And it was my kind of project, too! A quick knit with a little bit of interest with the short rows and the knit-in pipping. I used Patons Classic Wool for the main body and Cascade 220 for the pipping.

Today I've got some time to sit and knit and watch TV, and I'm hoping to get a lot done! On Thursday I get to go to TNNA to take a class with Lily Chin, and I'm super excited!

Have a great day everybody!
