White Caps Fingerless Gloves

As expected, this was the next project on and off the needles. I used much less than one skein of Knit Picks Palette in Rouge, which is an awesomely shocking pink-red.






Overall, a very well-written pattern, and I'm pretty sure my friend liked them. Sometimes it hard to tell with non-knitters, isn't it?

I Haven't Been Blogging, but I Have Been Knitting

School's in again, so while I've still been carving out time to knit, I haven't been as good about blogging. As a sort of apology, here's a quick rundown of what's been coming off my needles this month.

Most recently finished is a monster buddy for my son, knit with partial skeins of wool from my stash. The pattern is Adorkable Monster.



I knit a birthday present for my dear friend Frances, but used smaller needles than called for to get more of a neckwarmer. It's Lion Brand Alpine Wool, which is a lovely and soft roving-style yarn.

Then there was Turn a Square. I actually made two of these: one for charity, and one for my husband, also in stash wool.




And last but not least, the Little Lebowski sweater has been done for a while, but fall is upon us and my son finally got to take it out for a test drive.






I just ordered more yarn (don't tell my husband), and I think these are on deck.
