Hat Swap Hat.



Not the best photo, but wanted to post it for the woman who made it for me as part of my first hat swap. Thank you so very much!

Dress for Baby

Larisa had a baby back in June. Baby shower was in May. Started dress the night before the baby shower. Finished it for Larisa's birthday in September. Biking season is over. Knitting season is on. Spending this weekend in Bodega Bay with Sonya knitting all weekend long.



Started working on a hat. I like it. It's pretty.

Hawaii to Paris Socks










I started these back in November. Took 5 months to make the first sock starting on a trip to Hawaii, and took a week to make the second one while flying to Paris and hanging out here for a bit.





Bike racing has taken up most of my spare time. I joined the Early Bird Women's Developmental Racing Team; their website can be found here.

Big Rob Socks

So usually it takes about a month to make a pair of socks. Between the good weather, lots of biking and a size 12 foot Rob's belated birthday pair took 2 (!!!) months. He loves them though. So it was well worth it. They seemed a little big, but my guess is over time they'll shrink like all my socks tend to.

Kate's Birthday Socks

Made a while ago. Never got a great photo. Hopefully Kate will get me one once she actually wears them...

It's Hard to Do These Socks Justice

So, with the other socks I've got nearly completed for Kate's b-day (pictures to come), these ones are going to be a hard sale to show how cool they are. Especially with the photos I have of them. But really, they're awesome because my dad bought the yarn for me in support of my sock yarn addiction. I asked him to buy some sock yarn in Monterey and he came back with two gorgeous skeins (another pair of socks to follow with the other skein eventually). Not sure if one would be enough I added a couple other varieties into the sock and toe. Super cute. I love them and I love how the colors pool. But really, I'm just jazzed that my dad bought me yarn and in his words he bought the brightest yarn he could find. Yay! They helped me get up Bald Mountain in Sugarloaf SP.
