2012 Yarn Play

It doesn't feel like I've accomplished much in the way of knitted or crocheted projects this year. I've mainly worked on a couple of afghans. Crocheted afghans. Weird for me but there ya go. When I found this granny square pattern and fell in love with it I knew Cari had to have one for her new apartment. I love the colors and the result: (pics to come)

I also decided Bradley and Emily needed one for a wedding gift. The sunflower themed colors came together quite nicely I think. No, I didn't finish it in time for the wedding but it is what it is. They'll get it soon. :)

I've managed to knit quite a few dishcloths this year. Seems I always have one on the needles. I've fallen in love with this pattern (terrible pic,I know):

I had totally forgotten about this scarf I made for Cari. I think it was probably my first project of the year. I call the Sherbet Chevron Scarf:

Karen, Regina and I all started some toe-up socks late winter, early spring. Someone had the bright idea of trying the afterthought heel - yeah, I think it was me. Not the best idea I've ever had. My pair of socks are finished ... except for those damn heels!! I know Regina's aren't finished and I don't think Karen's are either. I've been putting off starting another pair hoping it would make me finish them. It didn't work. I needed a small, portable project for this latest San Diego trip so I started another one. I'm not sure what heel technique I'll use for this sock but I can tell you it won't be the afterthought heel!

Oh yeah, I started a stashghan sometime this winter/spring. Had to quit working on it when the temperature started creeping up. I'm just using my stash and changing fibers every two rows. So far I'm happy with the results:

I think that's all for now!
