An Incomplete, Unofficial Resume

This is the first sized thing I knitted with success. I fell in love with the little "xoxo" pattern down the front. The only regret is not picking a softer shade of pink. I had just finished making a cabled scarf in the same color for a friend. This pattern was in The Knitter's Book of Yarn, and I used Patons wool.

 The only entrelac pattern I've tried, this baby blanket has been on the same needles for at least a year. It's a Vanna White pattern and yarn line with Lion Brand Yarn.

 This was not supposed to be a hat for a stuffed bear, but that's how it turned out. Twice. This pattern also came out of The Knitter's Book of Yarn.

 For any of you out there who liked the movie Twilight you might have missed her mittens in favor of watching Kristen Stewart get saved by a vampire, but these mittens were my favorite part of the movie. I knitted them on stage when I was playing Ouiser (brilliantly I might add) in a high school production of Steel Magnolias. The pattern is online, and I believe I used Patons wool again.

My most recent baby. This is a cowl that will eventually have moose looking at each other. I have only been working on it for two days and I've already broken two circular needles with this little project. I've switched to a longer needle and it's working out much better. This is the pattern and I'm using Caron's Simply Soft.

 This sweater is from the Aran Sweater Market, and I'm using Patons wool. The pattern is a traditional Aran sweater for the McGrath clan (my mother's maiden name) and I plan to wear it this winter with navy blue pants and plaid galoshes. Pictures of that outfit to come.

A fair Isle yolk is to come for this little sweater. It's worked in the round so there is no seam and nothing to sew up at the ends except under the arms. This is a Cascade Yarns pattern using their Ultra Pima wool, but I'm using Caron's Simply Soft again.
