Back in June of 2008, Tanya and I decided to do a crocheted Market Bag KAL (just the two of us) using a pattern we purchased at London Wul. This was crocheted using Euroflax Linen. I had never crocheted before, so this was a learning experience for me. I finally finished the bag in September 2008 and just love it!
My husband has pestered me for a while to knit him a Tuque. He is 6'4" and has problems finding hats in the stores that are big enough for him. He asked that I knit him a hat that would keep him warm while shoveling and snow blowing. I chose the Thorpe pattern, but had to modify it (by enlarging it two sizes bigger than the biggest size) in order for it to fit him. I knit this project over one weekend in October 2008. I used two strands of Kuryen Noro. My husband is really happy with the end result.
And finally, I was looking for an easy project to bring along with me to the 8th Annual Maritime Spinner's Retreat
(Oct 2008). I decided to knit myself a pair of Fetching fingerless gloves using Rowan Tapestry yarn I had purchased at the Tangled Skein in Halifax back in the summer of 2007. I started the gloves the weekend of the retreat, and finished them on Halloween weekend. So, from start to finish it took me approximately a week. I just love the way the color turned out on these. And they are so much fun to knit.
I also have a few additional projects that I completed in 2008/2009 for which I still need to take pictures... I will post about these as soon as I get some pictures taken of them. One is a blur and the other waves...
