2012 Update!

I can't believe it's been SO long since I posted!  This year has flown by and been packed with school, work, trips, and kids.  I graduated from college in August and was finally able to get back to my knitting.  First, a few small projects that I did earlier this year.

 

This is a scarf knit just for me with some beautiful yarn I received for Christmas.  It's a short scarf intended to be worn pinned.  This is called the Betty and Veronica scarf.

 

This headband was another "just for me" project.  Love how this turned out and it was very warm this winter.  This is the Center Row Lace Headband.

The yarn for this Legacy sweater was dyed by my best friend and me, and I knit this up for her son.  The buttons are from Tessa Ann on Etsy.

 

This super sweet newborn set was knit for a good friend's son who was born in April.  The hat pattern is my own, and the sweater is the Puerperium Cardigan.   The yarn is from Bohemia Fibers on Art Fire.  I love how it buttons down the side.

This little boy's cousin was also born this spring, and this set was made just for her.  I modified the pattern by giving it short sleeves and only 4 buttons.  The yarn is by Lollytree.  

 

These socks were knit with handspun yarn by Moxie Blu, using the Easy Peasy Socks pattern - this was only my second pair of socks (and first pair in adult size) but I loved this pattern for worsted-weight yarn.  

 

Finally, I knit this adorable skirty with leggings for my daughter.  She's been potty-trained for a while, but I loved the idea of fitted leggings attached to the skirty.  The pattern is the Aloha Flirty Skirty and the yarn is by Megan at The Yarn Gnome.

 

I plan to be doing MUCH more knitting now that I'm finished school and the kids are back in school (my son started kindergarten this year and my daughter is in preschool this year).  Stay tuned!
