1. This is a shawl I made, it's this pattern from Knitty. Yes, it was lace and infuriating because I could not memorize the pattern for the life of me. Unfortunately, I felted it slightly, a few weeks after finishing. Not enough to ruin the yarn, but enough to make it too small. I'm currently recycling the yarn for practice in Kool-Aid dyeing.
2. Next, I tackled these knee-hi socks from Stitch 'N Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook. This was my first sock project. Of course, trial by fire is my thing, so they just had to be knee-hi socks. I had some trouble with the heel. I realized after I finished them both the heels were different sizes! Luckily because of the color change I just ripped out the heel and re-made it.
3. This is......the Baby Surprise Jacket! Woot! I took these pictures with my Dad's camera, which I wasn't sure how to use, so they aren't great. It's also before finish or seaming. This little jacket is just the coolest thing ever! I knit and knit and knit and had no idea how it was supposed to turn into a baby jacket. I took it off the needles and started folding and it was amazing! I'm so making another couple of these. Originally, I was inspired by this post by the Yarn Harlot.
Hrmmm, I thought there would be more to this.....but as I look at my knitting basket, I realize that there are a lot of projects that are partially finished. Maybe partially finished pictures will be ok tomorrow?

Took me awhile to figure out how to fold my BSJ, but once I did I had to start another one I thought it was so cool.
It was great meeting you at sit'n knit last night. You can drop your charity items to me next Thursday if you want. The scarf turned out so cute.
