FOUR CHICKENS

Life, motherhood, delicious gluten-free baking and cooking, knitting, books, ideas, community, and the 5 (formerly 4) chickens who live in my urban backyard--Clover, Billina, Rosie, Lulu, and Peep.

December Knitting FOs

So, I've finished a bunch of knitted items this December. Forgive the horrible photo quality...




Pattern: Baby Bobbi Bear from Blue Sky Alpacas (I knit two)
Yarn: KnitPicks Andean Treasure Alpaca Yarn in lilac and wild rose (shown)


Pattern: Midnight Sun Tam by Sandy Blue
Yarn: Shetland 2 ply jumper weight
(I altered this pattern slightly at the end--I got tired and didn't do the right decreases to get the star pattern at the top)



Pattern: Felted Headband from Knit One, Felt Too (I knit two, reversing the coloring on the second)
Yarn: Cascade 220 in red and green (lost the tags)



Pattern: Jaywalker Socks by Grumperina from MagKnits.com
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock, Neon colorway


Pattern: Knitted Pumpkin from Knitty
Yarn: KnitPicks Wool of the Andes in pumpkin and maple syrup
--I altered this pattern slightly to be knit in the round instead of flat. Thanks to Jill for the info on how to do it in the round! Then I dried it on a balloon without strapping it with rubber bands so it is more round and less defined than in the original pattern.
