Hey check it out, I'm blogging! And I'm back with a few Finished Objects to show off! Both of these were knit for the Boyfriend. Up first:
Cowabunga.
Someone I know has a thing for Ninja Turtles.
Pattern: Tridactyl from Knitty, Summer 09
Yarn: Dale of Norway Falk, 2 skeins
Needles: US Size 4, knit Magic Loop
I started these gloves the moment that Summer issue of Knitty came out, and I only finished them a few weeks ago, poor James has been waiting for these for a long long time. It's not like they would have taken very long from Start to Finish, but I was a loser on this project. Anyway, he loves them, and he wears them a lot!
Next!
He's Cute.
Pattern: Kim's Hats from Last Minute Knitted Gifts
Yarn: Malabrigo Merino Worsted, 1 skein in Black Forest
Needles: US size 8
James asked for a hat, so I took him yarn shopping and he picked out this Malabrigo (He has good taste!), and I absolutely LOVE this color. I think it might be my new favorite color of Malabrigo. It's awesome.

He wanted a hat with earflaps and no ties, so there ya go! And it fits perfectly. I don't remember what size of the pattern I made... whichever one has you start with CO 80 stitches. Anyway, he loves it, and loves the yarn, it's so soft and cuddly!
So anyway, I have 2 sweater projects on the needles (one for me and one I'm knitting for Hire), and to get through them quickly I needed some kind of incentive. Thankfully Lois (my boss, the owner of the LYS I work at) ordered lots of fun new stuff for the shop when she went to TNNA! Check out all my fun new goodies!!

From left to right we have Smooshy sock yarn in "Blue Lagoon" from Dream In Color, a Pretty Cheep project bag from Blue Sky Alpacas, and square Double Pointed needles from Kollage Yarns.
I don't know yet what I'm going to use that Smooshy for, but I'm not letting myself even wind it into a ball until I finish those 2 sweater projects. I'm thinking I'm going to make a shawl, and I've got a few patterns in my Ravelry favorites, I just have to pick one!
Well, I'm off to go knit! Have a wonderful day everybody!
