Twilight Saga Obsession - Alice

Here is a cute shot of Alice from New Moon

No. 9 and my mitts copying hers

done with 30 stitches and 4.5mm needles and possum/merino worsted weight yarn.
10rows of 3x3 ribs, then simple slit for thumb in hand portion (stocking stitch) then finish with 10 rows 3x3 ribs

Socks in Handspun

No. 8

"Go with the flow" socks from Interweave's Favorite Socks book, with 2.25mm needles and my own hand spun and jelly dyed merino.

Month Catchup

To prove I have been knitting here's a belated update of my progress to 52in52.
No. 7
Forest Canopy Shawl: in love with this pattern and I chain plyed the merino to keep the beautiful colours separated.


No. 6
Amelia's scarf: it was some coloured roving I purchased online, and was quite dissappointed how bright the colours were, but that was nothing I couldn't deal with because Amelia loved the colours. My problem was that parts of it had felted during the dying process, so I struggled on regardless and made a nice slubby yarn.

I read a lot of blogs

Seriously, I was adding the blogs links to this page today, and wow, I read quite a few. Is this the normal for other people? or do they read more? less? Then again I've never worried about being normal... well that's not entirely true, I just accepted the fact while in highschool that other people didn't think I was quite sane. I could never work out why, but decided to take it as a positive, at least I wasn't boring :)
A bit more of quick catch up of my 52 in 52 already finished projects:
5. Noro Calorimetry

I'm loving this headwear and have found it really does keep your head warm, despite the open back. The designer said it was designed for long hair, but I think it works great with short hair too. Noro Silk Garden about 3/4 skein and on 4mm needles, but made up exactly to the original pattern.

52 in 52

At the beginning of June signed up with a ravelry group called 52 in 52. The idea is to do 52 projects in a year, it can be any fibre related projects, but even though I do spin I decided that my projects will be all knitting or crochet projects.
Here is my progress so far:
1. Rohan's fingerless mitts


2. Babette's massa bag


3. Noro baktus


4. Green wrist warmers


I'll update more tomorrow
